First-generation Sea-Dweller "Ref.1665"
This model was born in 1967 in collaboration with COMEX, a diving survey company!
Among these, the early models feature "SEA-DWELLER" and "SUBMARINER 2000" printed in red, commonly known as the Red Sea-Dweller.
It is also referred to as "DRSD" (Double Red Sea-Dweller).
Red Sea-Dwellers were produced for about 10 years until around 1977, but they are much rarer than Red Subs.
Including the prototype model MK0, the Red Sea-Dweller is categorized into 5 types up to MK4.
This is the MK4, the final dial of the Red Sea-Dweller.
The MK4 is characterized by slightly faded printing and a large crown & ROLEX logo.
The case back features the Red Sea-Dweller's characteristic "straight logo," with the serial number engraved on the inside.
MK4 dials exist with two types of case backs: straight logo and round logo. Since this one is a 40-series serial, it has the straight logo.
The dial condition is excellent,
the hands, indexes, and tritium lume have all turned a beautiful cream color.
The appeal of this particular piece also lies in its bezel insert.
It has a beautiful gradient from the inner to the outer circumference.
This degree of fading is truly exquisite, wouldn't you agree?
It's incredibly cool!
*The luminous point appears to be aftermarket, but it doesn't detract from the overall aesthetic.
Although the bezel insert from around 1975 is slightly off-period, the Kissing 4 fat font insert is actually valuable!
"Kissing 4" is the earliest fat font.
It's called "Kissing 4" because the 4 and 0 of 40 are touching.
The mid-case also has a good impression,
the case is thick and solid.
The lug feet are also in excellent condition, with clearly visible sharp edges.
The case side is in good condition, as you can see!
The thick bezel is rugged and cool!
The clasp code "A" bracelet, which matches the era,
has some stretch, but it fits perfectly when worn!
Wrist shot!!
It's so cool~!
The "Kissing 4" bezel insert and the well-ordered, beautiful face are captivating!!
