My Rolex Double Red
I am happy to share my latest catch and the one that took me a while to land, a Rolex Double Red Sea Dweller with Mk III dial. The dial has that nice creamy patina although the hands are a shade darker which is just normal. The bonus is the bezel which has turned into a light grey color or to what is known as a "ghost" bezel. The case is unpolished and the bracelet is the heavy oyster with 93150 code and 585 end link.

Many thanks for all the compliments. I appreciate it very much. I am glad to have found the DRSD that I wanted. It cost me a bundle but it was well worth it.
