Description
This Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 dates from 1979 and has a rare MK1 dial.

The diver's legend Sea-Dweller is the big sister of the Submariner. Due to greater water resistance and the helium valve, the Sea-Dweller represents the more professional diver's watch made by Rolex. Due to new developed helium valve the inner pressure in the watch could escape faster during the decompression and the watch crystal did not break, which was the case with the Submariners.

The watch offered here is in a very good overall condition. The dial shows flawless lume plots and the black surface is free of any scratches or imperfections. The bezel insert is slightly faded and shows some natural signs of usage, proving that this watch was worn by the previous owner. The overall appearance of the watch is still great, lively and honest. The pearl at 12 o'clock has remained intact until today.

The stainless steel case has been very well preserved and has natural signs of wear. The signature on the case back is still sharp. A stainless steel Oyster bracelet accompanies the watch. The bracelet reference is 93150. The end pieces have the reference 585. The clasp bears the code F. All numbers fit perfectly with this Sea-Dweller model.

The heart of this watch is the reliable Rolex caliber 1570. The automatic movement runs flawlessly in all functions.

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 with an MK1 dial is very rare and hard to replace nowadays.
