Awesome piece otherwise!

The thickness of the watch doesn’t bother me. In fact, it adds more dimension to the wearing experience. And keep in mind, it’s not that much thicker than a Sub. If you remove the diver’s clasp, you’ll be able to get a perfect fit, and it won’t wobble on the wrist.

Is this a fair deal?

How much did you pay for your 2018 NOS?

It's not a bad price. Mine was just a little cheaper but I bought it beginning of the year. I think if you like the watch and want it new (like me), then definitely get it - it's discontinued so no more of these will be produced.

I actually loved the thickness. I also own a 5 digit explorer ii and while that one is4 slimmer and a easier wear, the 116600 is pleasantly substantial but not overwhelmingly thick (for me personally) like the deepsea.

Agreed. Removing the flip lock extension helps with a perfect fit.

Nice watch, nevertheless, would much rather own older model or the new 126600.......

BNA/LION · 10 April 2018, 03:11 AM

Looking Good!

peterskinner · 10 April 2018, 03:31 AM

The SD4000 is a fine watch; but, to my surprise, I find the 43mm somewhat nicer. It fits well and just seems visually more interesting. Longer power reserve too. But this is a debate with no final answer!

dafuture · 10 April 2018, 03:35 AM

Interesting. Glad to hear the thickness isn't an issue. I wore one for about 20 seconds, so I never really got the feel for it myself. Design-wise it's one of my favorite Rolex watches.

That single red line is indeed a great addition to have but my tiny wrist can only do up to 40mm, oh and I almost forgot the cyclops

Just got mine and I LOVE it! Great fit and dig the no cyclops.

Back in the day I had the choice of all SS sports models, tried them all on and bought the Dweller. Still love wearing it it puts a smile on my face every time I put it on. Mine is going nowhere!

Cheers!

Very nice but so is this

tquieng · 9 January 2022, 09:29 PM

Sd4k is rare only made 2.5 years- big time sleeper- price will sky rocket one day.

1William · 9 January 2022, 11:02 PM

Great reference.

Roddypeepa · 10 January 2022, 05:42 AM

A fine watch no doubt and no wonder those in the know covet this model. Classic.

My only knock on the SD4K is the strange end link fitment. Othewise, a near perfect watch.

Alex71168 · 10 January 2022, 09:17 AM

Love mine, think you have to wear it for a while as it really grew on me and now one of my favourites

tquieng · 12 January 2022, 01:27 AM

Get a sd4000 while is still resonable price - a rare and short year of production will make this ref go up in price a lot.

1665fan · 12 January 2022, 01:31 AM

I’m going to look at one this week……never seen one in person but I’ve had the 43mm red letter and it was nice………I’m expecting the 40mm to suit me more as a less in your face piece ive always had 40mm and like to stay in that range

Good luck and let us know what you think!

Londonboy · 12 January 2022, 02:15 AM

Almost 7 years ago I took this picture, literally on the day that my 116600 arrived BNIB from Takuya. Still got it and have no plans to sell it any time soon

Rick_Nashville · 12 January 2022, 02:29 AM

This one's still around, lol. I love this watch; I purchased it new in Dec 2014. It's a keeper.

Tyler_Durden_8 · 12 January 2022, 02:53 AM

Anyone tried to put SD4K on an oysterflex?

I think it will look great.

roadie1 · 12 January 2022, 10:06 AM

Such an awesome piece! Bought new in 2014 at Wempe NYC. They said it was the first one they received after the release. Maybe so maybe not but it’s not going anywhere.

Agree. Future classic that will be appreciated more in the years to come

I love those endlinks, similar to the 1st DSSD, YM, YM2, and Platona

1665fan · 14 January 2022, 09:13 AM

Is there different Mark dials you the Sd4k? Would the first year dial be any different than the last 2 years? Thanks
