My first rolex vintage! A lovely 1665 Rail dial
Hello everyone!
I'm quite new to this hobby, but got hooked a while back when reading articles and seeing pictures of your timepieces on TRF. For 3 years, I've been looking for a decent 1665 Sea Dweller, and have recently come across what would become my first ever vintage Rolex timepiece. It's a 1978 Sea Dweller that has a rail dial and it keeps very accurate time within +/- 3 secs, very not bad for her age! The super dome is just awesome and I can't stop looking at it! I'd just like to share some pictures of her:       Thanks for reading! Chris |

that really is a stunning example of an iconic watch. The pics are great - would be keen to know what you took the shots with and how you set your camera up.

I may receive a 1665 in a few days and was wondering if one could go in the water with it (beach, pool, bath etc...)?
