Incoming 16600 Sea Dweller

Now I certainly understand why so many just love the Sea Dweller 16600. This watch came with a pristine band, plus I realized that the thicker size fits me better on a strap- so the original band is hidden away for now...

Lug holes

Thanks for the responses. I knew that there was a member here with significant knowledge on the 16600. I asked him for advice, he responded back right away - then I picked up this watch during my lunch break. Thanks Clay.

A saleswoman at a jewelery store recently asked me why all of my watches had lug holes- quick answer..., the ease of trying out new straps.
This strap is a bit thinner and more comfortable, and it's going to work well for my sea dweller:

You didn't sell your Z-serial, did you?

I did... #looksdownatfloor

However, it went to make room for the(at the time brand new to market) 114060.... I love my SubC ND, but miss my Z serial SD.

Oh god that is painful to read. I would never, ever trade my 16600 for a submariner. Especially a ceramic one.
