WTB: 16600 Sea-Dweller, F-serial or newer

Hi folks. Like the title says, I am looking for a 16600 Sea-Dweller with box and papers, F-serial or newer.

Here's the catch... I am looking for one where the coronet on the crown points either straight up (12:00) or straight forwards (3:00) when fully tightened. Yes, I've read the threads and I know that coronet alignment is random from Rolex, but that's what I want :)

My only other requirement is box and papers (warranty card preferred). Toolkit, anchor etc. would be nice bonuses but are not deal-breakers. F-serial or newer, with price obviously based on that and the other normal factors. Ideally, my ceiling would be in the $5k range.

I would like to pay via PayPal. I am of course confirmed and verified there, and while my post count is low here, I did sell a watch earlier this year and can provide that reference to a seller.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this! Please contact me via PM if you have a watch that fits my needs.

Jon

Just bear in mind that if we consider an acceptable deviation to be 1 "tick" off 12 or 3pm then the chances are 6 in 60 to get an acceptable crown position.

Therefore your potential market is 1 out of every 10 Seadwellers available (or 1 in 30 if you need it dead on), on already a fairly rare beast since its cessation.

Good luck anyway.

Hey, better odds than the lottery, right? :)

Still looking... willing to consider any F-serial or newer where the coronet is pointing to 3, 12, 9, or anywhere in between, as long as the angle is an upwards one.
