If I'm not mistaken, they all came with a T39 superdome originally..........and many of the current low profile plexis you see were installed during service. An expert correct me if I'm wrong??

The one Im looking at must have a replacement but still looks great , its an 8 million serial so must be one of the last 1665s thought maybe they phase out the super dome by then. Maybe if I pick it up will try to find a super domehttp://www.rolexforums.com/images/attach/jpg.gif

I absolutely love this reference. When I first started collecting watches about 20 years ago, I did not appreciate it and chose to buy other watches that are now long gone. Needless to say I have seen the light.

A working mans 16600 & 16660…
As the years have gone by I seem to have less and less of an attraction to "Shiny" watches… Given a choice, I much prefer unpolished (Or close to) examples with the dings and scratches left untouched… I find they give my watches a character that NEW or freshly polished examples just don't have… Needless to say, this is not to everyones liking, but I find them irresistible… |

Modified t39
So Jason how much does the modified t39 set you back at ABC
Ive recently purchased a 1665 but it has the low profile service crystal , that dome really adds to the watch IMO |

I don't need them to be banged up per se, but unpolished is a must for me. It is about true condition and honesty.

Thanks Ben! I think the same thing every time I see a pic of your awesome 1680! Gotta love patina, it makes the watch so unique and special

Great watch. I think any and all SD are going to continue to increase in demand. The 16600 are just around the corner from being vintage. The 16660 are already super sought after and, well, we know that any decent 1665 is going to be over 10k. I can't get enough of the Sea-Dweller, hehe- great thread!
