ROLEX CHRONOMETER  "PRE PATENT" DOUBLE RED SEA DWELLER 1967 AUTHENTIC AND 1 OUT OF 145 EVER PRODUCED REF 1665

STOCK NUMBER #ROLEX DOUBLE RED SEA DWELLER  ORIGINAL-----I never thought it would come to this but we will be moving our offices and investing in a real estate deal in either Ont Canada or Myrtle Beach area and as my son's are not watch fanatics like myself I have with hemming and hawing over a year now , selling  this 1- out of 140-150 (Rolex will never tell us the correct number) ever produced genuine pre patent Rolex Sea dweller. As I took a vast amount of scans you can see there is no trickery nor aftermarket dials involved. As this watch was bought, it is being sold with only a replacement pearl or "pip" in place on the original black bezel rotating bezel. The crystal is the original "bubble" acrylic piece and quite clean indeed and it is tested for moisture and this case in air tight and sealed properly. I will tell you this is NOT the pink Double red sea dweller dial that was original to this piece and I assume the prior owner of this piece took it to Rolex to be serviced and the service dept slurped when they saw the dial and "Swapped" it with this mark 111 original Rolex genuine dial. ( imagine Rolex would do that!) The original dial is probably alone worth 15-20 thousand dollars I wish I could say I'm kidding...but I'm not. This is a genuine mark 111 Rolex Red Sea dweller dial and from the year aprox 1977 and I never got the records for this but as I took scans of the dial rest assured it is "what it is" a genuine replacement dial by Rolex. This case is with a serial number and it is 2.128.XXX million which is correct for this 1967 4th quarter Rolex pre patent sea dweller by Rolex. On the inside of the back of this pre patent case it has the same 3 last digits as this case between the lugs at the 6 position. On the other side between the lugs at the 12 position it is marked "ref 1665". The case is polished and the hands have the original material as well the dial is original and quite clean with a nice patina change over the years to add vintage flavour. The bi directional rotating bezel slides smoothly and as you see it has been cleaned and re greased properly. The movement is a Rolex caliber 1570 with 26 fine and inspected ruby jewels. As it reads, and I have tested for this fact it is a genuine chronometer wrist watch. The length of this case is 48mm long and wide not including the crown it is 42mm wide and this does include the tip of the crown guard.  The sea dweller bracelet is marked "8" on the fold over clasp and both end pieces are signed "380". There are 11 links and two end pieces. The fold out diver extension is written "Rolex "patent" so again replaced but same band as sold with this pre patent case but not original to this piece as the diver extension should read "Pre patent". This is for a fact the rarest of rare when it comes to submariners, Daytona's, Sea dwellers, GMT Masters etc, and a beauty any way you want to look at it. The year of production again is 1967 and it is the first series indeed.
