Do new Sea Dwellers still come with the tool kit?

I was digging through watch boxes today and stumbled upon my 16600 Sea Dweller box. Those watches came with a leather folder "tool kit" with the dive extension, dive table card, and dive extension for the bracelet. It got me wondering if the 116600 and later Sea Dweller models also came with these kits.

I didn't know the SD came with a tool kit before. Very cool! I wish the Submariner still came with the anchor.

Sounds like some accessories more than tools. Interested to hear what else was provided in the pouch?

The diver extension no longer comes with the 126600. Not entirely sure from when but a couple of years at least

In 2008 the State Police dedicated a SD16600 for the 50th anniversary of the Submarine corps. Called Polipetto "little octopus" because of the dial







The great Mondani book Limited ed. 41 cm




16600 ........ a true legend

It’s been a while since those were packaged with the watch… mid/late 80s?

Nice Rolex should have never stopped this, I get it there is a cost involved. My first was in eighty’s and I never saw any of this. I did not even keep the box or the papers. I was happy with the watch.

Hi Gerry, did you buy the "Polipetto"?? I had the opportunity but... unfortunately, I hesitated.

Ciao Edo. I have a simple 16600T (M ser) complete with accessories and two copies of Mondani's book. I also hesitated in buying it many years ago in (Mercanteinfiera) Parma .....

Agreed. The 16600 is a true legendary watch.

My ‘95-ish kit includes the wallet, screwdriver, extension link, and Buehlmann dive table.
