Got offered a very clean 16600 Seadweller from usual friendly AD. It is U6 serial on 93150 bracelet and dial reads Swiss t<25, possibly 1997 or 98? All looking very good.

Just wondered if anyone could confirm if that means it has a tritium dial and if that bracelet is correct for that period?

Thanks

Kenny

93150 is right. I don't know about Sea Dwellers in particular, but 1998 was right in the Luminova transition period. It could very well be Luminova (known as a "tritinova" if it says tritium but is really Luminova).

I'd recommend shining your phone's LED light on it for a bit, and preferably look at it in the dark if you can.

The correct bracelet is actually a 93160 which differs from the 93150 Sub bracelet in that it has solid end links and polished sides.

Ah yes, I stand corrected. Thanks NK!

No, it doesn't have a tritium dial..

Yes, it does have a tritium dial.

That is what the "Swiss T<25" means.

As mentioned, the SD 16600 never came with a 93150 bracelet.
