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 :

I shall enjoy photographing this new one when the brighter mornings return....

With kind regards,
