That's a Sea Dweller is it not? Or have they started putting red text on the Sub? Hard to tell from pic...

Sorry about the pic quality. It’s a 1973 red sub.

The modern sea dweller has a line of red text as a nod to this classic reference.

Congratulations!
A nice 1680 red Submariner "feet first" dial.
Which dial do you have?
Below are Mk 4,5,6 (top down)
Characteristic differences are the open/close '6' of 660 ft, the shape of the Submariner 'S', and different letter positions.
Mk1,2,3 are "meter first" dials.

The single red line on the 126600 Sea-Dweller dial does not refer to the 1680 red Submariner but to the 1665 Double Red Sea-Dweller.

2017 was the year that the Sea-Dweller celebrated its 50th anniversary with the new SD43. It would have been great to see again 2 red lines.
