It's fine, but as you point out/say a service-a-go-go piece.

Would be end-ish of Matte run originally.

For ref - In the UK be well under half that of an original matte one, and about four fifths of a later period T25 W.G.S.one. So buy on price my advice if you do proceed !

B U T If the watch isn't a matte dial version I personally don't see much benefit of buying a triple 6 over a double 6.

Having said that, I personally think the matte 16660 are really pricey at £17-18k loose watch.

The reason the 666 Mattes are so high, is that is they only made about 1/8th of the matte 16600, compared to the 16800 matte Subs.

This was compounded as Sea Dwellers were considered a bit chunky/tooly I recall by many in the 80'/90s g.t.g's i attended (when big watch fashion was just in its infancy in 95/96 - Stallone/Arnie with AP and Panerai)

Also, the 15-18% price premium over a Sub put a lot off I recall.

Apapro of little, but in that model zone i.m.h.o the value watch at moment is a 16600 tritium early 90s circa £7-8 k or left field a 16800 matte circa £9-10k. Early Tritium 14060/16610 are back to £6k too !
