What’s going on with this 1665?

Does this look authentic and could it be salvaged? |

Should be double red dial. If all checks out probably worth it at a steal of a price as a daily beater.

Just need a double red dial and you'd be sweet.

I can’t imagine those come around all that often. What would happen if you sent something to an rsc? Would they sell you an oyster bracelet for it? I’m assuming it would get a service dial and not a double red?

Looks like the horses walked on it some. I’m wondering how you’d even manage to get that kind of wear on the bezel.

To me, it looks artificially degraded or distressed. Other than the wearer putting his hand in a wood chipper every day, I’m not sure how that kind of wear and tear would occur.
