New to me 1993 16600

Just flew in today. Billed as a 16600 Sea Dweller from 1993. Service history is unknown so I plan to have it serviced before swimming. Has been polished but still has some chamfers. Crown guards on this model always slender but I like that. Other selling points for me are the lug holes, no cyclops, and solid end links with the lighter bracelet. This model is much lighter on the wrist than the new Sea Dwellers which is also nice.

Gorgeous! If I would get something else it would be a five digit SD for sure.

Big congrats! The 16600 is my favorite Rolex dive watch (with a sapphire crystal). Looks like a nice example!

I love the classic and historic design of the Sea Dweller and not the current swill.
