That really is a stunning looking vintage Rolex Sea Dweller 16660

It really is hard to beat these older reference number Rolex's and this one is truly stunning with its chunky case and perfect patina, here is to the next 17 years and beyond. I hope you continue to wear it and enjoy it in good health. Marc
