...collector, i.e. I feel that there is space for e.g. 6240, 16520 and 116520 in any collection. Just as well I have a 1665 DR, 16600 and, in the past, also a 16660. So yes, the new SD could fit well into the scheme.
And I would already own it if it had endlinks flush with the case horns rather than protruding ones. Also, I prefer a high gloss dial to the matte one.
I am very happy for these "defects" because it allows me to do without the new SD. The urge to get can become a pain sometimes! ;-)

Sea-Dweller....modern or vintage? Does anyone have experience with the Sea-Dweller 4000?
I don't own the most recent rendition of the Sea-Dweller. Though I am tempted. The Sea-Dweller 4000 has a lot to boast about. My first question is.....how many on this forum have one? What has been your experience? My second question concerns the attracti...
I used to have the current version of SD4000, ref. 116600.
It\'s a fantastic watch. Very balanced and symmetrical look, slimmer (than the submariner) lugs and case shape, matte dial. The only reason I let it go is because it\'s a bit thick for my skinny wrist, hence comfort sacrifices after wearing it for a few h...
I have a skinny wrist too.....but have no issues with the 16660....
.....interesting that you actually sold your because of its lack of comfort
My wrist is only 6.3 inches, and is kind of disproportionately thinner on one side.
I guess this is what makes fitting a problem in some cases.
Well, you already own the 1665 and the 16660.
So why not adding a modern iteration of the Seadweller? I would go for the monster, the James Cameron Deep Sea Dweller Blue and Green. This one pushes the limits of the concept farther, deeper, if I may say. The one you are considering is a wiser version....
I have a limit on size..40mm is a maximum and wearability is key.
I am seriously tempted on the SD4000. The trouble is....so many projects.
what do you guys know about the SD and 2017?
The 3235 is a great movement and it'll be in my next Rolex
1967 was the issue year of the very first Sea-Dweller 1665.......one can assume
....that Rolex will mark the 50th anniversary with some recognition of one of its most iconic watches. Maybe a Sea-Dweller with double line of red...... that would be quite something
Enjoying my 116600 for a year now...
...and I seriously consider it one of the best 6 digit Rolex sports watches. The combination of ceramic bezel, thinner lugs than the Submariner, matte black dial, Cromalight and the very comfortable Glidelock clasp makes it a winner imho. Cheers Henrik ...
I have had the SD4000 for 3 months now.
It is a very comfortable watch. The glidelock bracelet is excellent. It really makes the watch very comfortable in all situations. I like the thickness of the piece. It has a nice wrist presence and feel. It is a wonderful watch. I highly recommend it. It...
Joe, I found the new style case vey top heavy.
I tried very hard to like it but he lure of the lovely Great White was too great. I sold the 4000. Steve

I love it!
I really like the tapered lugs on the Sea Dweller 4000. It changed the whole appearance of the watch. The watch does not have that boxy look that many of the modern Rolex sport watches have. ...
Mixed feelings -- depends on wrist size and tolerance for the shiny bezel
I really like the new 116600 and feel it's the nicest watch that Rolex currently makes. The proportions are right with the trimmer lugs, fatter hands, and superb bracelet. It's good to see Rolex sticking with the 40mm case and making a dive watch that is ...
116600
I've had mine now for 6 months and it has not come off my wrist. Very sticky watch for me. I really enjoy the weight and bulk-factor, my 6.5 wrist is thin and it wears very very well. It also wears very well on a leather strap.
difficult choice
The NSD is a very beautiful watch , with its full graduated bezel. An underrated modern rolex. The vintages have 'more' soul, more charm. It its another kettle of fish
