Congrats on owning such a fine vintage piece.

You seem to have one of the nicest Great Whites around, Clay.

And a DRSD, any DRSD, is always a welcome sight, Subfiend!

Clay · 14 October 2010, 12:03 PM

Thanks Jib.....

t61e64 · 14 October 2010, 12:56 PM

Big smile on my face every time when I'm wearing it....:)

Here u go...

Beaumont Miller II · 14 October 2010, 02:02 PM

Clay your Great White is beautiful. Here is my Mark IV. Gives me a warm feeling whenever I see that patina. Always happy to post a pic or two or three.

RLX-lvr · 14 October 2010, 03:04 PM

Wicked patina on the drsd, Beaumont!! Love it.

Here is my '77 5.3 mil great white Mk 1.

Lamone · 14 October 2010, 05:13 PM

These SD's are some serious Rollies!!

Davvan · 14 October 2010, 08:32 PM

This is my not so vintage SD

Replacement case, Service dial, hands and date wheel, service plexi, new crown, new(er) 93150 bracelet, service insert.....only part not replaced, but serviced...is the movement. Not that vintage at all...but very functional. The lume glows like kryptonite

.....Superman.....watch out!!

Clay · 14 October 2010, 10:01 PM

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful....

Wow, that is some of the most beautiful patina I've ever seen!

Beaumont Miller II · 15 October 2010, 12:01 AM

Jeff, I love that last picture of your Sea Dweller. It looks cool.

Racer X, when I saw that patina on the hands and dial, I knew I had to have it.

eparisini · 15 October 2010, 12:26 AM

I've got a Rail dial... but I'd upgrade to a DRSD

TheDude · 15 October 2010, 12:35 AM

This SN is supposed to have matte. Hopefully someday I'll find one to buy and put in it...

For now, a 16660 with gloss/patina from 1983/4.

I think I'll put my 1680 in the oven for a while to see if I can recreate that color. Kidding!

fusionstorm · 15 October 2010, 08:26 AM

Here are my 16660s. I'm looking to add a DRSD to the collection if one at decent price hits the market.......

therolexguy · 15 October 2010, 11:59 AM

Great shots of some fabulous examples. Thanks.

dsio · 15 October 2010, 12:58 PM

Its awesome seeing those DRSD's and vintage white's being worn and showing battle scars instead of sitting in a box.

When its designed to actually be *used* at insane depths and be chewed on by sharks / barnacles / drunken divers, a doorframe isn't exactly the greatest threat I'd imagine.

Yep, so do I. Since I sold my gmt cII, it is my daily wearer.
And yes, I bang it on the door frame 3-4 times a week, with a big white paint
streak across the crystal.
