This reference 1665 is known amongst collectors as the “Great White” Sea-Dweller. The nickname refers to the all white writing on the dial. Previously the 1665 had two lines of red text on the dial and these are known as “Double Red” Sea-Dwellers. Stainless-steel Rolex sports watches like this reference 1665 are gaining popularity with collectors and are highly sought after. The present example features a third generation dial and is a true example of what an unaltered vintage watch should be like.
