Question on rolex 1665
Hi, i have seen a 1665 with serial number 3,5xx,xxx.
Based on my research, it is dated from 1973....but it is not red! Is it normal? Any help would be warmly welcome. Thank you. |

Sure, it could be normal. It would just not be the original dial, perhaps a service replacement dial.

Lots of dials were changed over the years at service.

Does the "f" in ft cover the top of the "t" in ft? if yes, this is a service dial.

Pictures attached
Dear all,
thank you for your first replies. I attached some pictures of the watch...apparently, it seems that the "f" covers the "t" in ft...so is it really a replacement dial? The selling price is good...as far I am concerned. Could you please tell me your thoughts about this watch? thank you. 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg Thank you again. |

This should very likely be a mk3 DRSD.
The watch at present has: Service crystal Later date wheel Service insert Early service dial Poper bracelet Case is thick, but soft. Crown guards are good but not great. Proper case back |

Well, depends on what you like.
Are you looking for a great white or a double red? With this watch, you have half of one and half of the other. Honestly, there are better options out there... don't buy it b/c it is a "good buy" ... buy when you find an amazing watch. |

I would have a hard time with the difference in dial and hand color , you could try to source a more correct dial and insert and a silver date shell and it would look good

Would have to agree- matching hands and dial would really set it off!
