"Great White" 1665 Question

Did all Great White 1665's have non-italicized fonts and a open 6
on the dial that reads
2000 ft = 610 m
Also, what end link numbers should be.

Great information. I'm doing a partial restoration on a 1665 now.

Well it looks to me I have a MK1 Dial. Not itlaicized. Or could it be a MK3?
I dont have anything I can compare it to as to the size of the font. I'll check the number on the watch. The 6 is open on mine.

Well here is the number 59517xx Too bad I tossed the box years ago. I was stolen and came back 10 years later. How??? Had my name on the back. It was replaced by the insurance co. Thats how I wound up with 2. I didnt think I would ever see it again and thats why I tossed the box and papers....
Nice story eh?

Thank you all for your help!
Dave
