Rolex Sea Dweller Question

Does Rolex still make the non-ceramic "Rolex Sea Dweller" (not the DSSD)? Please advise. Thx.

To me.......It seems as if the prices are increasing slightly for the watch that you inquire about (model 16600 -- 4000ft Seadweller). For a late model, it is ~$4,500+ from a reputable seller.

Glad I have two

No more SD are being made or sent out. I confirmed this with Rolex HQ.

The SD will be a good collectable and increase in value IMHO, as many do not like to wear the large SDDS.

Would seriously doubt it just to many around the only difference in any SD since 1988/9 is a case stamp.And IMHO the SD will be around for quite a few months yet still quite a few new V around the world

Love the SD. Classic, timeless, and certain to be a collectible.
