The DRSD is another cult model which has seen a meteoric rise in collectibility of late. Pictured are the versions with Mark 4 and 7 dials, both with correct casebacks and serial engravings on the inside. The mark 7 was probably the most time consuming project in that I had to fly to Geneva both to deliver and collect the watch following servicing! (Something which I will not do again!). I didn't want to send it by post and deal with customs issues so decided to visit the spiritual home of Rolex. I did treat myself to a nice steak dinner at http://www.relaisentrecote.fr/
The Mark 4 belonged to an ex commercial diver who purchased the watch in Singapore in the mid 70s and is accompanied by a Rolex Singapore stamped booklet, Rolex Service Guarantee and a very rare Rolex letter confirming that history of the watch.
Both watches have now gone to good homes and I hope their new owners will cherish their new double reds as much as I did.
