The
Deep Sea Diver / The Submariner Date & Sea Dweller
The
Rolex "Double Red" Sea-Dweller Model Ref 1665
Circa 1967 to 1977, was the first Rolex Sports model
to achieve cult status among Rolex collectors and enthusiast,
but so little is known about its development and the
few variations available.
Due
to heavy misinformation from unauthorised Rolex information
books, dealers, and even Rolex themselves, many collectors
had believed this version only to be produced from 1971
to 1973.Some have even suggested that its commercialisation
was an "after thought" and a huge publicity
hunting operation by Rolex after having lost out to
Omega and its Omega Speedmaster Professional chronograph
to be the official watch of the American astronauts.
The
discovery of two Rolex Sea-Dwellers ref 1665 Without
Gas Valves and Unique dials configerations has not only
revolutionised the theories behind the development of
the Double Red Sea-Dweller but makes redundant all that
was written before.
One
had a Single Red Sea-Dweller dial with a serial number
in the 1.6 million range and the other had a Unique
Double Red Sea-Dweller/Submariner dial with a serial
number in the 1.7 million.
