My New Double Red Sea Dweller!
Hey Guys,
Exciting stuff.. 3 months ago I bought a Double Red Sea Dweller impulsively on an online auction without seeing it physically! So you can imagine after close inspection of the web pictures I became skeptical as to the genuineness of it. So I flew to Geneva to pick up the watch and gave it straight to Rolex RSC in Geneva to service it. Anyway after a long and hard 3 month wait I got the call from the RSC and flew yesterday to Geneva to pick up the watch.. Here it is a 1975 Mark IV Double Red Sea Dweller, completely overhauled I just love the double red writing on it.. I am really lucky to have this :)

That is a fantastic looking SD, congrats, you are a lucky man.
You should have had them replace the dial with a new one, yours has some weird red lettering...
