Incoming Seadweller 6600

Feels so good to finally buy a Rolex. My first one came from my dad. This thing is amazing.
Original owner bought it on my wife's birthday in the year we met, 2001. When we saw the date on the authentication certificate, we knew this was the one.

Yes it's a 2001 16600 40mm. Feels almost small on my wrist, haha. But it's gorgeous.

Classic. 16600 is my favorite of the pre-ceramic divers. Enjoy!

I have this EXACT watch. It was bought in my son’s birth year and goes to him on his 21st. What a great choice and fabulous watch! Enjoy!
