Rolex 1665 Double Red MK IV help needed
Hi all,
I would like to know if the MK IV DRSD 5.2m should have the serial number engraved inside the caseback? Thanks! |

Yep.
DRSDs had serial numbers into the 5.2 range and I believe all had the serial number or last three digits inside the case back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.hqmilton.com/timepieces/...65-mark-4-2992 What do you think about these two? The first one seems to have weird-looking numbers engraved between the lugs and the second one does not have serial numbers engraved inside the case back. |

Do your own research as well mate.
Check out drsd.com and do searches here and at VRF. If I was in the market for another drsd it would have to have the serial # in the case back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It says its Sold !
I didn't think watches from 78 came with 9315 bracelets and when I took expert opinion when buying mine I was advised to avoid buying anything without a serial number in the back . When I asked why I was told it will always cause questions about authenticity But I also think HQMiltons know there watches Have a search on www.drsd.com this may help http://www.drsd.com/watch-info/doubl...casebacks.html |
