Victoria Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 May I introduce my newest baby, a 1974 DRSD Mark II with chocolate dial. Enjoy! Nanuq, I won't even pretend I know the difference between one vintage Rolex to another, but I can see what this means to you (and by the replies so far). One thing's for sure, it looks amazingly special. I am savouring its roughed up glamour, and knowing how much you will baby it, in your possession. I too am curious about how much you spent (I must be living too long in the US ), but it's as nothing towards the enjoyment it's given you. And us, now. Will you ever actually wear it? If you do, wear it in good health! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I may be wrong... But I believe it was a gift... Which is why I'm going to take it from him on Wednesday at dinner... When he's not looking of course... TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Great to see it back in your hands Nanuq! Now all your line-up is lacking is a 1655 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahchard Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 I am wondering if someone can help me, but I have read a lot about the vintage watches 1680 and 1665's. I understand the 1665 single red and double red are very rare watches and I thought they cost over $100k or something like that... I recently acquired a MBK 1680 red sub and quite like it, so went on the bay to see if there were any 2nd hand gens for sale. Well, I am no expert but there seems to be some available for sale around the $10k mark? That seems pretty cheap for a vintage... no? Or are those frankens? What do they normally go for? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hey Nanuq, I hate to ask, but could I request a shot of the CGs shot from the bottom looking along the right side of the watch. I have the NGT version of the Mark II dial, and want to see what more I need to do the the MBW case. If it's too much bother, don't worry. Of course you should wear it! Unless it leaks I don't know what harm is likely to come to it. That's the beauty of vintage. Cheers, Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 All good things come to those who wait Ah but these are old pre-service pics, surely this baby is worthy of a new 'welcome home' shoot? Did you install the superdome you got from Andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hmm...How to put this. Camera in the plane of the bezel at say 5:30. Again, don't worry if its a pain. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 oh my god! thats all I have to say. Dont u dare change that original crystal. I think im going to throw my rep 1665 into a cement mixer for a few days to make it look like yours.. wow Lonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Dont u dare change that original crystal.Actually it's NOT original, that's the point The flattie would have been installed by an RSC at a later date. I can think of no more worthy a prize that deserves a NOS T39 superdome installation more. It just DEMANDS it. Go on Nanuq, it's not like you haven't squirrelled away a few for such an occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wow, thats a great gift to say the least. At first I was like "hmm another beat up MBW", shortly thereafter came the "holy **** its R E A L" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hmm...How to put this. Camera in the plane of the bezel at say 5:30. Again, don't worry if its a pain. Cheers.

Pre V Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Congrats Nanuq! This 1665 DRSD is the Creme de La' Rolex creme! I can't imagine being in your place right about now but I sure can feel it through the pictures! What a historical keeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
