First Rolex: Sea Dweller (16600)

Hi all!

I purchased my first Rolex a few weeks ago. It's a very nice condition (tritium dial) 1990 Sea Dweller 16600. Also: It's from my birth year.

Here's a picture on my wrist after buying and a few pictures of this watch from the seller when it was for sale. HAPPY!

Picked mine up today. It feels big. I suppose I’ll get used to it. I’ve never owned a watch this big before.

Thanks for the responses!

@bagman That's the newest model. It's bigger then this 16600 and in line with the other Oyster "Maxi" case models. I can understand that it feels bigger.

Stunning piece. Enjoy!

Congratulations! My all-time favorite watch. I still have my 1985 triple-six, and now added its big brother - SD43.
