	The 3666 is a pre-Oyster Rolex Submarine in the original 1920s sense of that name, not in the later dive-watch sense. It is the clearest surviving example of the Finger double-case system Rolex sold before the Oyster replaced it.

	The third is the lesson about daily use. The Hermetic is the counter-example that justified the Oyster. Wilsdorf commissioned the Perregaux-Perret screw-down crown, the Spillmann three-piece case, and the Aegler movement integration because the Finger double case, however waterproof, had made itself a daily annoyance. The Oyster is what a watchmaker builds after three years of selling Hermetics and learning what the customer actually wants. Without the 3666, there is no Oyster; with the 3666, the Oyster is inevitable.		The third is the lesson about daily use. The Hermetic is the counter-example that justified the Oyster.
