Apart from the case stamp both the SD basically the same my favourite Rolex sports.

You're right Padi ...though I certainly had to pay a lot more to get a NIB V-serial one .

I was not considering 16600 until I tried one last week. I really liked the watch and it fitted quite well on my wrist... One more to put on my wish list!!!

Welcome to the 4000ft club! SD is an awesome watch! I also have the D serial - it's a keeper alright.

Thanks guys !

I like the extra thick crystal and the caseback. I would rather not have the HRV but on the SD it is somewhat bearable ...

you paid for the life of the movement, 3 or 4 years newer so you can postpone service by that long

great watch

Yes I agree on the service entirely. Apart from that, since I plan to dive the watch I know that the seals are up to date ...
