Meine neue Double Red

[Puffy]

My ultimate grail is a Great White 1665 but when this came along I knew it was too good to pass up.

Here is my, almost, new old stock quality Double Red 1665.

Very few vintage pieces meet my standards but this one ticks them all: unpolished, razor sharp lugs and case, original-to-the-watch insert, crystal as well as folded 9315/380 bracelet. Black paint still in the case back engravings.

It's a 5m MK4 from 1977 so the most common of the 1665s and not overly rare but to find one in this condition is in itself is pretty sweet.

Ordered a brand new 93150/585 from Rolex so I don't wear the sweet folded 9315.

Here it is, the ultimate vintage diving machine :)

[ManInTheMirror]

Amazing!:verneig:

So muss eine DR aussehen...

[steboe]

...und schon findet man diese Schöne im VRF SC...

[Darki]

Stephen, ist nicht meine Ecke, der Plexy-Bereich. Imho ist der aufgerufene Preis jedoch ok oder?

[EX-OMEGA]

Jens sagen wir mal so, in UK ist er eher erzielbar. Hierzulande wird es umgerechnet in € schon schwieriger, auch wenn diese MK IV schon ein recht gutes Exemplar ist.

[Darki]

Vielen Dank, Peter! Wieder etwas dazu gelernt.

Wie gesagt, nicht meine Spielwiese, jedoch imho eine sehr schöne Uhr.

Der Preis passt, sehr schöne Uhr! Viel Erfolg bein Verkauf!
Was mich noch interessieren würde wäre der Gravur style im Deckel, denn diesen erwarte ich etwas anders als bei anderen Batches.
