Auctioneer's notes: This is a great value 1665 for collectors looking to buy into the first reference Sea Dweller! Although not all original parts, it is a wearable example of a vintage dive watch.
Condition report: Currently running in excellent condition overall. This example had the case middle replaced during a Rolex service, meaning the serial number differs to the original (as found on the inner case back). Case is a 4.7 million serial number, case back 4.1 million.
