FS: 1978 Rolex 1665 Sea-Dweller Mark II Rail Dial “Great White”

[ILuvSubs]

I have for sale a circa 1978 Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Mark II “Great White” Rail Dial on stainless steel oyster bracelet. It’s in fantastic vintage condition with beautiful patina on the dial and hands, and strong well defined chamfers / bevels on the lugs of the case and strong crown guards.

I bought this a number of years ago from the well known and reputable vintage Rolex dealer, Jacek Kozubek (formerly H.Q. Milton and now Tropical Watches).

Check out the write-up on DRSD.com as to why the Mark II Rail Dial is such a rare and highly sought after vintage Rolex sports watch:

It was a real grail piece for me, so I’m sad to have to let it go. Unfortunately (as is the case with this hobby) I need to fund another purchase and I can’t keep them all, so my loss is your gain.

Condition: pre-owned with a very sharp case. I suspect it is unpolished or, at most, very lightly polished.
Serial: 5.6M
Crystal: plexiglass Tropic 39 super dome
Dimensions: 40mm diameter
Case: stainless steel case with screw-down case back
Crown: screw-down
Dial: black, Mark II rail dial
Bezel: black aluminium insert
Strap/bracelet: stainless steel 93150 oyster bracelet with 8 full links and VE code clasp and 585 end links
Accessories: none
Location: Sydney, Australia

Asking price is USD28,500 (FIRM) plus shipping (international shipping by FedEx at buyer’s risk and cost), by wire transfer only.

I have experience shipping watches using FedEx to the US, so no problems with shipping overseas from Australia.

I can also do a face-to-face transaction.

Low ball offers will be ignored. No trades please.

I have solid feedback on both The Rolex Forums and WatchUSeek under the username “ILuvSubs”.
