If there ever was a dream Rolex for me it would be a Sea-Dweller 16600 with maxi-dial and hands and an updated clasp. No more. No less.

Here's a nice rarely seen one. The bottom one is my 16660, the other 16660 is a Tiffany dial owned by a friend of mine. He bought it new. As you can see it's a crazed/crackle dial.

This one will share time with my other Great White and my Mk IV DR. I am sure there are some great looking Sea Dwellers out there. Let's see some.





Very nice trio & TFS John
