He did not have a Day Date in but mentioned a Sea Dweller from 1982 he just bought. Without asking I figured it must be a triple six so I did my homework on this model and several days later stopped in to take a look. To my complete surprise the watch was not a transitional model but a 1665. Needless to say I knew nothing about this model and was a little lost. I reached out to the forum and did a lot of google searches, crossed my fingers and bought it.

Very happy I did as it is by far the nicest watch in my humble collection. A huge thanks to Nathaniel (Nsumner) for the matching pearl.

I would love to see your Sea Dwellers!
Congrats! I love the patina on your Great White.
Here's mine saying welcome.
