1665 Great White

This is the BIG WHITE, take a look at the written SEA - DWELLER, it is larger than the 2000 ft = 610 m, only this batch of dial is the 1665 BIG WHITE

Cheers

Thanks for the explanation, now I know why they call it the Great White.

this dial was also present in the early 80s booklets for submariners/seadwellers
