Sea-Dweller 1665 query

Faz

You should also know that the "666" style caseback was found on the later production watches from the mid 6 mil onto very early 8 mil 1665s. Yes, there are some very early 8 mil 1665s out there!

It is very possible that the watch was produced circa 1981 and sold in 1984. Depending where it was sold initially, it was not uncommon that watches sat on the shelf for a couple of years before they were sold. Add the fact that the Sea-Dweller was not a popular model as it was quite a bit more expensive than the popular Submariner.

According to some of my records falls in 82-83... in years that I was thinking that the 1665 did not exist anymore

I mean year (this is what the vendor is advertising the watch as...a 1665 from 1984!).
