INCOMING- 16600 SeaDweller.
I picked up a MINT, Full Set 2002 16600 SD yesterday to go with my other 5 digit 16610 Sub and 16570 Polar Exp 2.

At 1st glance, it looked very similar to my 16610, but once on the wrist, the difference is enormous.

This piece is in stunning condition and so nice on the wrist. The extra weight, height over the 16610 is just perfect and has that classic Rolex look and feel to it.
A very happy collector :)

Congrats. Just picked one up myself, full set from 1996 with a bit of cream hue to the lume and pip. Really enjoying the proportions and the look which is much less shiny compared to my sd43 and somehow just seems to suit my tastes more.

The 5 digits are wonderful. Their beauty and classicism are unrivalled.

Great find! It's a handsome, rugged watch for sure. I've had this one since 2005. It really flies under the radar, and it's the true definition of a 'go anywhere' watch. Hope you thoroughly enjoy your new SD. Mine says hello.

I have the 16600 bought second hand in 2000. My serial no starts with an A, what does this mean, do the 16600's vary that much?
Sorry to sound stupid its just that I have never been that bothered with serial numbers before. I am only reading up now as I am thinking of selling it.
Thanks
