Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 Mk2 Patent Pending
Baron - Mr Red
It has been a long time since I took some fresh pictures of my 1665 Mk2. I have owned this watch for almost a decade now. When i bought it, the dial was black with the very slightest hint of dark brown. 10 years later, as has happened to many Mk2 1665s, the dial has turned a gorgeous and even brown.
Debates continue on just how many patent pending Mk2 were made. Once it was believed that only 100 were made. I suspect the number is closer to 300, but not many are in the condition of this one.
A good vintage Rolex to own for me. It has been a good 10 years......
What I particularly like is the evenness of the brown.

So beautiful... i hope you keep it another 10 years. I am fortunate to own one. It is mk2 but not patent pending. But it is caramel tropical. I am surprised that there are now 2 variations of mk2 - patent pending - thin - Regular

My mk2 drsd..uniform caramel brown. Bought this way. Didn’t change much in last 2 years. Amazing how differently two almost identical rolexes age.. ...
