Hello from socal
Hi everyone my dad gave me his 1977 sea dueller 1665 "great white" mk1. He bought it from a friend back in 1980. The first thing i did was search the web and was amazed and surprised what a great watch. I have a few concerns about the watch. It has a badly scratch glass, it needs polish, cleaning and calibration. My dad did not use the watch for a while and when he started using it, it advances like 2 hours per day. Im from rancho cucamonga california and looking for a great place to service my rolex. Thanks everyone.

Welcome.

Check out ABC Watchwerks in DTLA. They can service the movement and make the watch look brand new.
