First Rolex
Good afternoon Rolex Forums,
New to the forum group and also new to the watch game. Just received my first ever big boy toy - my fiance surprised me with a Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 that I've was eyeing from the last year since Basel 2017 release. I'm sure I will find a lot of useful information from the forum on maintaining and caring for the watch. Any additional information that you guys can help me with would be great due to the fact that I've only started researching about time pieces for about a year. Thanks |

Great Watch! I was checking one out yesterday at my local AD. I was surprised of well it fits on my wrist! Has my wheels turning.........Im sure it wont be available for much longer but I just bought a Chocolate YM so I will have to wait a little bit.
Enjoy it and welcome to the forum. Here is a link to the history of the Sea Dweller in case you havent seen this article, it was an interesting read about the history of your watch. https://monochrome-watches.com/rolex...-review-price/ |

Congrats! If you wear it daily, give it a nice bath once in a while. Fill up a sink with a little bit of mild soap. Take a soft toothbrush and clean the bracelet in between the links to get rid of any oil and dirt that will accumulate. Rinse well and dry with a soft microfiber cloth. Make sure to check that the crown is screwed down before doing this of course!
