I´d say...

...it´s quite rare alright....if I´m not totaly mistaken...it´s among the late/last baches of the 1665´s made...but again....I may be mistaken.

Here´s a good place to start laring about the rail dial.

What does the rail dial mean exactly? I looked at some photos from that link i didn't notice anything specifically different from a regular sub dial...

Well, as far as I know they were only made for about tw years...........The "C" of Chronometer lines up with the "C" of Certified in the line below and the font of the depth markings are in italics.
The hour markers are closer to the minute track than on the regular dial and it's the only1665 to have "T SWISS T <25" under the 6 hour marker.
