Great White set, in from the wild
Good afternoon gents,
I am very pleased with this Great White Sea-Dweller that came my way recently. It is a Mark 1 dial 1665 that was bought in October 1978 for about £300 by an amateur diver. It comes from a most interesting batch, with a case number fewer than forty away from the famous Double Red with Comex / Royal Navy provenance that I have written about here previously.  Always a relief to find punched papers that match :  If you didn't catch it, here is the link to my story of its DRSD brother from the same batch, a treasure in my collection even if not the most valuable I own on paper : http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=327534 I shall enjoy photographing this new one when the brighter mornings return.... With kind regards, Haywood Milton, UK |

Very nice. My Great White's case number is 5,38X,XXX and I've always wondered just how close it was to the end of the Double Red run.

Enjoy yours for what it is though and do not let the commercial vagaries of market values, driven by mistaken perception as they often are, make you think any less of a white than a red. Brilliant watches all. Haywood |
