Hie,
nice pictures of a very nice watch. Have one on my own, but I did not wear it on a Nato yet. I was always afraid it would be too high. The pictures show that it isn't so. Yours Meil |

Great review of a great watch! Just picked one up again after a few years without one - definitely a keeper!

Nice watch. The best in my opinion is the luminova dial and lug holes...classic.

Love the 16600 SD! The only thing I would change might be to go for bigger maxi type markers, but that would be it! Having said that, it's a super watch and a definite keeper!

I recently purchased Mondani's famous "Collecting Rolex Submariner". The book is massive, 265 pages of thick-stock glossy paper, filled with images of our favorite tool watches
![]() ![]() Great book, highly recommend. As excellent a reference book on Submariners (and Sea-Dwellers) as it may be, I'm not sure it is a complete work. Yes, it contains all the key versions of the Submariner, Submariner Date and Sea-Dweller. They even included the Deep-Sea (both versions - I have their 2015 edition) as well as the SD4K. You've got your James Bonds, Gilt, Spider, Ghost, Red, Red-Depth, Underline, Exclamation-Point, Bart Simpson, meters-first, "At-The-Top", COMEX, MilSub, Double-Red, Great-White, etc. Heck, there's even three dial-versions of the 16600, not including the COMEX and Italian Police-divers ("Polipetto") versions! Everything you could wish for... except for maybe the A-Series SWISS dial... ![]() Furthermore, the bezel is from the MK-I (tritium) period as well as the caseback on my A-series (the inner-side of the "MK-I" / Tritium casebacks are stamped with "16600" while the "official" lume dials, Mondani's MK-II and MK-III dials, are stamped with "2220" - Rolex's contemporary coding). ![]() Given the above, I could easily conclude that my 16600 was originally a MK-I T-dial that was serviced by Rolex... if it were not for the sheer quantity of A-series with SWISS dials out there. As such, the possibility that this is indeed a transition dial still exists. And I'm not the only one to think so... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=265018 They are able to show that the 16600 SWISS dial and the Service dial have different fonts (for example, the longer "f" in "ft" as well as added spacing) But for now, my SWISS-dial 16600 will have to settle for the pages of the T-dial, 16600-caseback, fat-four bezel MK-I... ![]() ![]()

Errata - looking back at my notes, the SWISS dial was used on some 1998 U-Series and continued into the 1999 A-Series units. The A-series then moved on to "Swiss Made" dials from 1999-2000.

Nice posts! I had a D series but traded it for a U series in 6 weeks because of the tritium and lug-hole charm
