Info:

This is as near a perfect example of a Rolex 1665 as you're likely to come across. The case is lightly polished and has lovely chamfers to the shoulders. The MKIV dial is as near perfect as possible with beautiful lume plots. The bezel has only a few light surface scratches and 2 tiny nicks on the inside edge - given that this was a working deep sea diver's watch it has survived remarkably well.

Box & Papers:

It comes with the Rolex box and Rolex service letters and Guarantee dated 2009
