Incoming SD4K
Well, I finally made up my mind to trade away what was my favorite watch, my 126660 DSSD. I had lost some wrist size, maybe my preferences were changing, it just wasn’t getting the wrist time it deserved. I was a bit sad to box that one up and ship it out, but the 116600 Sea Dweller has much of what I loved about the DeepSea in a more manageable size. I’ve still got the fully graduated bezel, date with no cyclops, a glide lock clasp, matte dial, HEV and the SD4K still feels like an overbuilt tank of a watch, just in a smaller package. After much pondering, it was the only watch that checked all the boxes I was looking for.
Out with the old: ![]() In with the…older…but new to me: ![]() After having it on my wrist for a week or two, the only thing I truly miss from the DSSD is that excellent external glide lock clasp. I slightly miss the domed crystal, but not as much as I thought, I also enjoy the thick raised crystal on the 116600. I also sold my Pelagos due to bezel lume bars repeatedly falling out, so I may replace that with a BB monochrome or 58 GMT for my domed bezel fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I love the SD4K and I regret not picking one up new when I had a chance. Such is life!
Looks great on the wrist. What are you driving ?

I remember being at the AD in Ocala when there was an AD there at the time end of 2017 or it as early 2018 ??? I had the opportunity to pick one up w a discount too, I walked off w a 114060 instead. Kind of wished now it was the SD4k.

![]() While unfortunately not an actual time machine I can take back to buy that SD4K a decade ago, it feels like it, that is my 1984 4Runner that I purchased in high school about 20 years ago. I drove that truck to the mall to drool on Rolex watches when I had no chance of buying one, and I still have a Rolex catalog in the glove box from when I started thinking I could, so it seemed fitting for an incoming post, thanks for asking. I'm not sure what year the catalog is from, I'll have to check, but it has a 16570 circled in it so it's been in there a while. |

One thing I did was remove diver extension and replace with 1/2 link (same as 40 Sub)
Now it fits perfectly. |

Exactly right, I did the same with my DeepSea, chucked the divers extension in the box and never really thought about it again until I pulled everything out to sell it. When shopping, I noticed this one was not complete, missing the divers extension, and seemed fairly priced compared to the others that were complete sets to reflect that, so I had no problem keeping a little extra money in the watch fund this time. I do need to go pick up a half link for it though.

Best diver ever made, congratulations.
I really miss mine but that’s another story. Enjoy that beast, have you removed the diver extension? I found it way more comfortable once I removed mine. ![]() |

Bought it in October 2016 and it was stolen in December then discontinued a few months later. Uninsured.

Was this deal a straight trade or did you add money? How much was the Sd4k if you don’t mind me asking and what year did you pick up? |
