Worth exchange 16600 towards new 4000
Would it be worth me exchanging my 16600 seadweller for a brand new 4000 is there any real differences and investment ?

Best to hang on to it IMO. 16600 classic 40mm form-factor/non-ceramic bezel discontinued in 2008. Will likely increase in value as a vintage or eventual vintage, as demand increases.

Go try on the 4000 and you will have your answer. I am not a huge fan of the older watches and I some how believe that we have now added an investment factor into our purchases that was not there a few years ago. The modern divers, on a technical level for case, bezel, bracelet and by all means the Glidelock Clasp are on a different level. Some still prefer the older watches and I have been in the game long enough to have owned a lot of those watches when they were new and to each their own but I prefer the newer watches. Value is funny because until you sell or buy it is an abstract number. I think once you try on the 4000 you will know if you are a modern dive watch fan or not. Good luck. I would get the 4000.

Try the SD4000 on if you can before you do anything in terms of the 16600. The modern ones definitely 'feel' different! |
