Wonderfull watches, nice pictures, great serial.

Only have the 116600, which is a special watch for me : I had one only during a flight and a night, stolen in my room at the hotel in the morning after landing...

Months of hunt to find one again and finally this Sea Dweller is on my wrist just before holidays (nos with stickers) :



However, my 116600 are cursed.

Furious against the AD from Bordeaux and Biarritz who adjusted the size of the bracelet for me. The first one put on too much "frein filet" and stuck the bracelet, which I forgot to check when I got it back because I had to join some friends for lunch. The second gave me back the watch with the link moving again but told me that the screw had been damaged, without offering to change it. In short, I didn't have my tools to adjust the bracelet and I trusted the Rolex network. I would not do it anymore because looking under a magnifying glass, the bracelet was also slightly marked ...

Despite this unpleasant incident, I was finally able to enjoy my Sea Dweller during my vacation and dive with it into the ocean.



Moreover this inconvenience will quickly be forgotten because I am going to visit my favorite AD this coming week and will ask him to put a new screw.

I entered the Rolex world with the Submariner (114060) which I love because it arrived at a particular time in my life, but if I only take the watch into account, I have to admit that the Sea Dweller has something in addition, an indefinable charm, an extra soul.

Matte dial 666. The watch I lusted after in my peak diving years but couldn’t afford! A second hand Citizen Aqualand had to do. Kent

Love the 16660. Great choice.

Absolute bargain in the world of Rolex sport watches. It was the most expensive and technically advanced watch in the Rolex catalogue in its day and now it’s the budget option. I’ve been meaning to pick one up but want to find one along my travels (if I e...

Thank you Nicolas for your message. The problem is not so much the glued bracelet, the damaged screw or the slight scratches. Anyone can make mistakes in life. What annoys me is not checking the job done, not saying that a problem has occurred or even not... 

Great watch.
