Little or no degradation in 60 years? Seems unlikely to me. Can you add a link to the article?
Something about the albino dial makes this watch look absolutely stunning.
What are your thoughts?
Do any of you know any other references that look similar?
Note the writer's hedging comment: "I do not know for sure that this watch was born with this dial or if the dial was put into this sharp case and bezel..."
The only thing missing is the colored bezel.
I've always been skeptical about these. Most "authentications" have been made by so called experts and never by Rolex. This example strikes me as "out of place" at best..
The early prototypes of the DRSD aka "single red" are confirmed as the first Sea-Dweller "Submariners" pre HEV DRSDs 2000s. Although some Single reds do have the HEV like their COMEX 5513 cousins. Only a handful exist today and those were never made for public consumption. They were assigned by Rolex to some divers for testing before the release of the "patent applied for" DRSDs.

Wouldn’t this just be the same as the Albinos? This article says that they were given to certain people. Was this confirmed by Rolex or is it just the same hearsay like the Albinos. Pardon my skepticism.
