1665 Mark 1 advice

[Sam Dubai]

Hello all,

I am new to the forum but have been collecting for over 20 years. I have just acquired a 1665 mark 1 from 1979. Its just had a movement service by Rolex UK but the case has not been touched at my request.

I need some input on the case, its had quite hard a hard life but it seems to be unpolished. I know a bit but I am no expert hence reaching to you guys....


I think bezel insert may be newer?? But should I keep this or look to replace, considering that the cost for inserts seems to have gone crazy

it also got re profiled service dome which I had installed to ensure water tightness.

Could you let me know your thoughts on the watch overall and the case. Also, would you leave as is or have the bevels re cut at LA Works etc.


Cheers,

Sam
