Any remaining V Sea Dwellers seen in UK?
I was lucky enough to spot and pick up a V 16600 Sea Dweller a week or so ago from a UK AD at £3980 . Looking through the threads over the last few days, I've not seen any references to others being found. Is anyone aware of any other brand new V Sea Dwellers at UK ADs or has the last V batch now sold out at ADs thereby meaning the model is officially closed and pushing supply into the secondary market?

The model was officially discontinued last October as far as I am aware. The release of the V serial was due to huge demand in Canada and the UK and probably left over parts and cases at the factory. But hey this is Rolex we are talking about so when they issue a press release thats when they are officially discontinued.

Hi PhilK, I bought one on 1/6, I understand it was received at the AD's a few days before (unexpectedly) - certainly wasn't there a fortnight before when I was looking at subs

I spoke with an AD at the weekend who said when AD's asked for a V serial SD they got one. When they asked for a second they got a straight NO!
