One of the most sought after vintage watches from Rolex, the 'Double Red Sea-Dweller' charms the collector with two lines of eye catching red text on its dial. The present example can be identified as the MK3 dial, identified by the "D" in Sea-Dweller lining up with "R" in "Submariner". The lumes and hands have developed a pleasant orange patina that is nicely matching.
