The old, beat up watch I bought last week finally showed up today:

It's a 1972 Double Red Sea-Dweller!!

I'll play with it for a few days before taking it to my local watch maker to have it a clean, oil, and adjustment done, as well as replace the crown and crystal and do a light polish. The dial on this baby is gorgeous!!!

Nice John!!

Looks like the double red has some interesting stories to tell.

Indeed the dial looks stunning.

Double Red is the grail. :verneig: Looking forward to the pics you'll take when the watch has returned from your watch maker. :ea:

Hi John,

Great watch you got there.

Quick question: is this a SEL bracelet? I think for a 1665 a non-SEL would be correct.

what a beauty :gut: - congrats :dr:

The dial seems to be wonderful.
I would love to own a double red !!!!

Hi Borris - it has the incorrect end links on it. I've got some 585's on order. :gut:
