专家说明

With Rolex Guarantee dated 3 January 1978, invoice of the same date and original fitted green presentation box with outer packaging.

The present watch is from the last, so-called "transitional" series of the Double Red Sea-Dweller, distinguished by the designation "Rolex Patent Oyster Gas Escapement Valve - Rolex" engraved around the case back as opposed to the inscription across the case back of the earlier models. The transitional version is believed to have been in production between 1977 and 1978, the serial numbers ranging from 5.1 to 5.2 million.

The dial is from the "Mark IV" or "Mk 4" series of the Double Red Sea-Dweller, distinguished by the printing on its dial. The "double red" colour is of light red shade, when closely inspected the printing appears to be made up of a series of dots, rather than direct brush strokes or application. The two double red lines show different sizes: the second line, "SUBMARINER 2000", is smaller than the first line "SEA-DWELLER". The crown is large, the 5 tips and the large oval at the base of the Rolex crown are clearly defined.

The present watch is furthermore distinguished by its very good, original overall condition, most notably the beautifully aged, uniformly ivory-coloured luminous material to numerals and hands.
