Thin case 1665 DRSD

[MD.]

Hello fellow vintage obsessives!

I have been hunting for a tropical dial DRSD for a while. I am planning to keep my next grail piece forever - that's the plan at least!

This thin case example has caught my eye and I would appreciate your input.
From my own observations:

1. The dial: MK2 (2.9mil) and appears to be in mint condition and matches the age/serial of the dial and it has aged to a tropical/chocolate colour as is common with the MK2. No peeling that I can see

2. Caseback: Pristine with matching serial. Engraves production date of IV.67 which is period correct. Some service inscriptions noted.

3. Movement: Movement is 1575 but correctly labelled 1570

4. Case: Now according to DRSD.com, the MK2 has a serial range of 1.6-3.5 with thin cases ranging from 1.6-2.2. This is where I am unsure, as I have read online that thin cases could go up to 2.9 - so which is correct? Can thin cases have 2.9 as is the case with this watch?

With DRSD, the dial is everything but as my good friend Mr Filipao has pointed out to me one should not forget the all important case condition in these thin case examples and it seems the case has seen some light polishing in the past but not much. Lugs also appear good.

5. Crystal: Service plexi

6: Bracelet: 9315 with both 380 and 580 links?

7. UV video looks OK to me. Please see video below.

8. The set: Has box + double punched papers (including punched warrantly booket). No serial on hangtag.

I have attached photos below and the UV video.

Once again, I appreciate your input and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend
