    New Arrival: Rolex Sea Dweller 1665 Content

    I bought one of these when they were "cheap" about 8 years ago for £4200. I let it go not long afterwards and had to pay a little bit more than that got get one back again. Its a Mk 4 dial, all original but the insert was changed at a service but is still a correct Rolex insert. Was bought in Bristol in 1982, has the original owners name on the guarantee certificate and his name on further correspondence to Rolex. It has been serviced twice at Rolex and comes with the guarantee cards. It keeps time to a pretty amazing 3 second gain in 24 hours. Despite the price hike over my original purchase 8 years ago I am pretty happy with this one.

    These are very special, in any format. Now don't sell this one!

    Congratulations.

    Beautiful watch-keep hold of it. I suppose most of us have move pieces on and then regretted it, unfortunately these lessons cost a fair bit of dosh.

    That is stunning, good work. If you ever want to sell it I’ll give you £4200 for it 🤣

    Can everyone stop commenting on this and bumping it to the top? I can't help but look again and I'm heartbroken over my selling my old 16600! It's like seeing your first love move in next door!

    But this isn’t a 16600 it’s 5x better.

    I know, perhaps a bad analogy. It's like your first love's older sister who you secretly fancied more moving in next door then

    Stunning looking piece.

    I hope you enjoy that beauty for many years
