Incoming - get out of the water!
The Sea Dweller needs no introduction, but this one is a 1665 "Great White" dating back to 1982; released in the mid-70's, still with the tried and tested 1575 engine of its predecessors but with all-white dial lettering.
Sporting a magnificent NOS Tropic 39SuperDome crystal to set off a perfect dial, hands and case this example really is something rather lovely. It certainly has phenomenal wrist presence - I'm not sure if it's the domed crystal that does it, but the moment you put it on you know that you've got a watch on your wrist. I love it.

I saw this elsewhere and it appeared that you were going to make it a swift double along with the GMT.
What an excellent purchase, both of them.

Yes, the concept was irresistible in it's simplicity, and was executed to perfection
