Rolex

Sea Dweller

 

For the last 18 months I knew I wanted a sea dweller. In what inclanation, I was unsure and as you are about to do, I did quite a bit of research. The long and the short of it is I actually took the plunge (no diving pun intended) with a matte dial 666 from my birth year (it seemed like fate so couldnt resist). I dont have the watch yet but I will do in a couple of weeks and I hope to post up some pictures and share some thoughts.

This is my first Rolex and I am getting quite excited about it! The ultimate clincher for me was the matte dial colouring. I am more about aesthetics than functionality and quite frankly fell in love with any example with a dark patina - feelings that I just dont feel with more current Rolex models. I am a relative newbie and my best advice is search watchprosite! Some serious knowledge on the forum, reading here definitely helped shape my recent decision.

The story of the Sea Dweller started in 1967, to receive many evoultions, to this day. From the 1665 to the Deep Sea, there were very interesting models. You mentionned the " Triple 6 ", it is one of them. Matte of laquered, there is another very special ... 

Thank you

For your guidance in this.... it is very fascinating, a lot of research ahead, but that could be the best part of it all... so many iterations and combinations!!
