Absolutely stunning piece, huge congrats to you!

You could keep the calendar which matches the year of your watch and put up the extra on eBay if you're interested. I know they can fetch quite a bit.

K-series Sea-Dweller, originally from Saudi. A proper full set that appears unpolished (with a little ding on the bottom left lug to prove it).

Not sure I've ever seen a Rolex with two calendars (2002-03 and 2003-04) included in a set...wonder if ADs at the time were issued calendars for multiple years for watches that Rolex expected to sit in display cabinets for extended periods?

Absolutely thrilled with yesterday's acquisition.

congrats, it looks fantastic,

and you have the tool !

well done

The 16600 is a fantastic reference, still probably my most loved watch and sold it years ago. Regretted it ever since, still trying to obtain a 2009 V serial NOS Dweller.
