The Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 was produced from 1967 to 1983 (with the “Red” variants specifically between ’67 and ’77), though the model did not officially retail until 1971; most watches made prior to ’71 were not intended for civilian use. This particular example features a Mk4 dial, seen between the 3.0m and 5.2m serial range.
Previously owned by a Hyperbaric Medical Offer in Scotland, the caseback engraving is in the exact front Rolex used for the Comex engravings. This DRSD is simply magnificent, and now spending its time with a dear friend of Falco.
