What to look for in a Sea Dweller

[Brett1]

Bitten the bullet, and going to fetch a brand new Sea Dweller on Monday.

2 hour drive into Switzerland, but a very good price (in Euroland). Dealer looks and seams to be excellent. Know some people who've bought from there.

However, this is the most I've ever spent on a timepiece. It's described as a brand new 'M' model 16600. What should I be looking for to confirm authenticity? What should it come with (papers, certs, etc)?

All any any advise appreciated.

The only way to be 100 percent is to by from an AD.
The watch should come with
1) Outer white sleeve for the box
2) The light green box
3) The Green Rolex box
4) The watch with bezel protector two swing tags
5) Cleaning Cloth
6) Two booklets
7) warranty card and holder with translation book
8) another wallet containing a tool, extra long divers extension link and divers table

Complete stuff, John!!! What about calendar? My AD said there is no more calendar for a new Rolex.

Thats correct no calendars and the latest M series as you know has no holgram just a clear sticker on the case back and no branding on the rehaut.
