Found a stunning double red Seadweller/Submariner in perfect non-polished condition!! The dial was so very beautiful!!

I'd take this watch anyday over current SD43 even though the SD43 is technically superior in every way. But is it worth 3x the price?

No...only 2x b/c it has two lines of red.

Cru Jones · 14 October 2017, 01:50 AM

Looks great! Not sure that's how I would spend my watch fund, but, to each his/her own.

Smarties · 14 October 2017, 02:06 AM

Hard to judge.....

Can't compare a vintage directly with a current production model.....

Rebel · 14 October 2017, 02:23 AM

Sweet lookin' watch. Price, hummm.

Agree.

PLNYC · 14 October 2017, 03:51 AM

Nice! Where in ny did you spot this?

Loevhagen · 14 October 2017, 03:53 AM

Nice - but "non-polished"; how do you know - as it looks a tad round here and there.

j0oftheworld · 14 October 2017, 03:59 AM

You'll make John Mayer jealous with that one!

sensui · 14 October 2017, 04:58 AM

I've seen unpolished Rolex divers and Sea Dwellers.....that picture isn't the greatest but I would not be convinced it's unpolished. The insert along with that pearl looks like service parts also. (OK on 2nd look maybe the insert is correct...need better pic to be sure). Need closer shot of the dial to make real assessments about authenticity and how good it is (lume condition, dial condition, authenticity, if there are chips etc around edge).

Now if everything is correct and truly unpolished on that watch in good condition? You bet your @$$ it's worth 3x the current SD43 heh.

lamnyc · 14 October 2017, 05:04 AM

looks polished to me.

lee fowler · 14 October 2017, 05:48 AM

I will reserve judgement till we have better photos but mine says hi and it is unpolished!!

Al1969 · 14 October 2017, 05:50 AM

Did you buy it OP?

great reference

Forum-Dweller · 14 October 2017, 05:55 AM

That bezel pip didn't age like the dial. Best I can do is $500.

All perspective I guess...personally red subs/sd vintage have never done anything for me...in fact I don't love gilts but think that's something worth the premium over red line of text. But it's funny because when I was hunting for a 4 digit Daytona I knew it had to be a big red heh. Check the market if you're interested but I've seen like nos double reds and the case looks totally different. I welcome all you modern guys to step into this side of that playing ground.

tommy91 · 14 October 2017, 12:16 PM

If it was in Touneau 57th st its been there a long time.

doramas · 15 October 2017, 06:59 AM

I also prefer it to the current SD43

SearChart · 15 October 2017, 07:05 AM

Double red is a dream piece, I think it's worth it.

Since Lee has the set (past and present), let's see what he has to say ....

Is the double red worth 3 x the SD43?

RW16610 · 15 October 2017, 07:07 AM

Very nice piece!
