Nice Video. I am the original owner of a 1665 Double Red, and dove this watch to 310m (1,000 fsw) on April 23, 1974 while working for Oceaneering International and the US Navy Experimental Diving Unit. We didn't publicize the dive at the time as we were developing Navy technology for use in Undersea Warfare. Just thought you might like to know. By the way, I still wear this watch regularly.

It would be great for you to post a short vid of your watch with the story. We would all appreciate it.

Just want to say this company is AMAZING!.. Just bought a very high end expensive piece (A. Lange).. Next day its on my wrist.. All box and papers easy to do so.. they ring you to tell you its on its way rather than a simple email! AMAZING customer service. I will definitely be coming back to purchase from Watchfinder in the future.

Very good Vid!!! What I would suggest is to add photos of batiscafe, maybe location of tests on chart , photos of special designed Rolex , photos of people wearing them... Thats in addition to valuable story created! Good job , keep up...

I wish they would make retro Sea-Dweller for an anniversary.

I'd love to see a video about the Rolex 5513 and 5517 Milsub! Or maybe one that compares the different military dive watches.

To learn in depth history of watches and english watch lingo at the same time. Thank you very much.

Well done mate, I noticed the hands on the double red look lighter than the loom plots on the dial. Are the hands original or are they service hands?

Great reviews on great watches love the science the history more reviews more comparisons, keep up the good work

Lol I watched the movie 40 meters down and never knew the risks involved in diving. Needless to say, I have almost no fears if any other than needles.. But hearing about the bends and nitrogen narcosis almost gives me a phobia of diving.. Scary stuff.

Great video again thanks.

Helium particles are small enough to leak into a watch under pressure. When the watch returns to the surface they get less compress and have to come out.

First SeaDweller had a Submariner case... later a thicker case was used. An amazing dive watch... 1960s Rolex havebeen used on NASA's NEEMO project and have even flown in space !

because of fanboys!

I though it was because some guy with to much money over paid for one and all of a sudden the watch was worth more.

Bizarre that facts don't seem to be very important here...

Because people want to big note themselves, attach way too much to style over substance, and are general all round snobs. Rolex have perfected their business model, too bad I don't fall for any of it, geniuses such as us like to watch the hysteria unfold from afar and are quietly content with our superior collections.

High end watches have basically become fancy jewelry for men with a lot of money that want to show off how much $$$$ they can throw away (bait for golddiggers!). Virtually everyone carries a phone with accurate time that automatically changes with moving across time zones. And an inexpensive Casio diver ($49 Amazon) can handle the diving needs of 99.99999% of the people who want to swim and dive while wearing a watch. I do get very tired of rich guys who try to justify their expensive purchase by saying nonsense like, 'Well, if I accidentally fall into the water while wearing my nice watch, it won't be ruined'. Idiots. Most good watches are pretty waterproof up to a reasonable swimming depth for short periods. I like to suggest diving off of a ship to see just how long their nice expensive watch will stay waterproof as they paddle towards the shore from the middle of the ocean.

Getting so tired of this typical music in the videos Please just change it up... And what the hell you didnt even go into any history OF WHAT THE SUB DOUBLE RED EVEN IS or WHY IT WAS CREATED? WHAT EVEN IS IT THO?? all you said was and that's why the double red is so valuable, WTF DOES THAT MEAN??
