This Rolex Sea‑Dweller 1665 “Great White” is a coveted vintage diver, recognized for its clean all-white text dial and legendary deep-sea heritage. This example features the MK4 dial, which is correct for its serial number 6,760,764, dating the watch to approximately 1981.
The dial and hands feature perfectly matching luminous patina, indicating they remain original and untouched. The watch retains its original 93150 Oyster bracelet, paired with a correct 'F' stamped clasp. The bracelet is short two links but fits on most wrists. The crystal has a few marks and one scratch but remains original. It is easy to change but I would rather have the original crystal.
The watch was recently serviced and is running smoothly. While the case has been previously polished, it retains thick lugs and sharp edges, showcasing strong geometry. The bezel insert was replaced with a newer Rolex insert that adds a vibrant contrast and makes the watch pop on the wrist.
It also includes a vintage Rolex box, which shows expected wear and interior degradation from age. The bottom has damage as well. This is a true opportunity to acquire an appreciating classic in very good vintage condition.
The watch will be shipped fully insured with signature confirmation. Please review the photos, as they are part of the description.
