Sea Dweller vs. Sea Dweller?

I agree with you, they are both good watches.

I'm part of the "very few" who use them for their "intended role" ... underwater

All Sea-Dwellers are excellent watches. My wife has 16600. I have 126660, but used to own 126600, so I've had quite a few of them. All great pieces. Wish I had a 116600.

I voted for the 16600 which is my first Rolex. I absolutely love it!

The Sea Dweller model went from 40mm to 43mm with no added depth rating. The Deep Sea is very large but it comes with added capabilities.

You add the cyclop and the two-tone version on the 126600 than did not exist prior on the Sea Dweller line.

Rolex gave us a quality watch as always with a new movement but it feels like a fashion watch

I hardly ever go for a watch larger than 40 - 41mm

Of course sd43 is a real sea-dweller

Some think seadweller is all about lack of cyclops.

Seadweller is a seadweller due to the deeper depth rating via hev.

And they are all super-submariner, as they should be.

Where were all these sd4k lovers 3-5 years ago when they were just sitting in the store display due to lack of interest in them?
