Vintage SeaDweller 1665 (MBW) ?

[tgchrono2]

hello, iam wondering why the Red letter 1665 has yellowish hour markers & the white letter one has white hour markers.....

Were also the genuines 1665 produced like these ?

Also how much does it costs - the ''good versions'' of MBW (MBK store) ?

AFAIK, all 1665 were produced with tritium. It yellows and looses luminosity when aging. The red lettered dials should be about 5-10 years older than the white lettered - therefore the repmakers made them more yellow (my guess).

However, I have seen pictures of genuines which weren't yellowed at all...

(Maybe they were stored in a safe all the time, who knows?)
