Rolex Sea Dweller 16600

I just picked this 2006 Sea dweller unpolished, full set . I didn’t realize these 5 digit Seadwellers are very comfortable and are the true meaning of a tool watch . I’ve always read about the love for these watches and now wearing and understanding how well built these great true tool watches are .

It's one of Rolex's best values. All the cool with extra toolness (the good kind).

16600 I think is about the best Rolex ever made. I miss mine and love that model. Great movement aesthetic and just cool all around. Great pickup and congrats!

Nice pickup! I've been thinking about this exact reference a lot lately. Seems like a nice insiders watch.

Nice buy and it looks great. Any reason why you chose this model over the newer versions? Phil

Nice. Five digit SD is where it’s at for me. In my opinion the best Rolex they made (with a classic 36 Explorer a close second). Enjoy it.

The simplicity of the dial , great movement and when Rolex designed these true tool watches they were made to last and be used. Aesthetically pleasing and wears very comfortable for every day use.
