Double Red Sea Dweller damage

[Walts]

I have been looking at this DRSD and noticed the dents circled on the back. I realized that the wrong bracelet was used and probably modified. How does this effect the value and should it discourage me from buying the watch. Thanks in advance

I would worry about finding a better insert more

Those marks are common from using the right bracelet. The bracelet that’s on it now is the one that’s completely wrong.

Lol, I worry when the undersides of the lugs don’t have those endlink marks. Those Chinese tudor sub cases are always m8nt under there. Ssssh. Don’t tell them!

holy crap....a 78790A will fit on a 1665???

The insert represents a far more difficult issue. I like the case. Wear is normal.

I'm sure this bezel is a Rolex replacement. The seller only had the watch serviced at Rolex. Is this insert the current replacement bezel ?

Current service inserts have luminova pearls and will light up in the dark. Shine a light on it and if it lights up in the dark it is a newer luminova insert. If it doesn't, it will be the older service tritium pearl insert. (If it is a very late tritium insert, before it was discontinued, the tritium pearl might react a little to a light source.)

I agree with this 100%
