The first Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665"
This model was created in 1967 in partnership with the underwater research company COMEX.
This is one of the early models
"SEA-DWELLER" and "SUBMARINER 2000"
This model is commonly known as the Red Seed as it is printed in red.
This is also known as "DRSD" (Double Red Seed Error) .
If you include the prototype model MK0, you can go up to MK4.
Red Sea-Dwellers are classified into five types.
This is one of the most popular red seeds.
This is an MK3 dial manufactured between 1972 and 1974.
The MK3 is said to have a well-balanced design between the old and new lettering specifications.
The back cover features the MK3's characteristic "straight logo" .
The inside is engraved with the last three digits of the serial number and the 1972 first period.
Incidentally, it is said that a patent for a helium gas exhaust valve was granted in 1970.
The back of the watch manufactured before it was approved has "PATENT PENDING" written on it.
After the patent is approved, the back cover of the watch is engraved with "ROLEX PATENT" .
This item has a dial in very good condition!
The luminous material is a beautiful cream color that matches the hands and indexes.
The beautiful luminous index and red logo/DRSD are just irresistible.
The bezel insert is firmly equipped with the bold MK3!!
As expected, the bold inserts really suit this vintage model!
The condition of the case and bracelet is that of a vintage model.
It is in very good condition.
The lug legs are thick and sturdy!
You will never see any weight loss.
The bracelet is a later hard bracelet without grooves.
There is some creasing, but it is relatively sturdy.
The thick case and bezel are rugged and cool!
Red Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665/MK3"
