Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

One of our favourite 5 digit Rolex's, the Sea-Dweller was a long under-appreciated piece that is now finally getting the recognition it deserves as a more interesting take on the Sub, with higher specifications and a lack of cyclops.

This particular Y-serial piece was first sold in 2003 (though production would date to 2002) and presents in excellent neo-vintage condition. The case is sharp with very good finishes. Shows scuffs and scratches commensurate with its age, and some small nicks along the edges of the case, but nothing large. Lugs show some minor strap change marks. Caseback shows rub marks and scratches.

Original SuperLuminova dial is in superb condition with no visible signs of wear. Hands are matching. Bezel is in fantastic condition. Crystal is also excellent, with some small marks present. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet is a 93160A with solid endlinks, and an AD stamped clasp which is correct for a Y-Serial. Has 11 links and will fit roughly a 7.5in wrist. Shows only light stretch. Has some desk dive marks, but in excellent condition.

Service history unknown. Currently running at around +13 secs per day at 270+ degrees of amplitude measured dial-up on a timegrapher.

Comes with outer box (correctly stickered), inner box, calendar, holder, punched warranty papers (expired), hang tags and Submariner booklet.

Excellent example of a highly desirable and appreciating watch.
