""The New Sea Dweller 4000 has Landed"" / First one in the wild (Pic Heavy)
The original post is from a member named: "dogpaws" ("This is not my watch / Time Collector") I just wanted to share and thought members would like to know that they are being shipped. This is the answer "dogpaws" gave when asked how did he acquired one


"Thank you all for the comments. I purchased this 116600 in Japan and bought from the AD I have known for many years. At his store it was the first delivery and there is no trick but been visiting him frequently and I was the lucky one.
I also owned 16600 and 116660 but I personally like 116600 the best among the three (personal opinion). The dial is matte black and the markers seem to me creamy white compare to GMT2 116710 BLNR. The thickness is great and the new updated Gliderock bracelet is amazing... For your reference, MSRP is 950,000 yen (excluding 8% sales tax)"

I like it a lot. Although not quite enough to move it to the top of my buy list.

I guess the MSRP wasn't as bad as expected? $9,256 in USD is not bad, if I'm not wrong with my exchange rate.

That's were I got it from, I sent the owner a PM to ask for permission to use his post. That's why I credited his user name in Red. Great news like this have to be shared.

With these larger lugs, this sd is larger than the original sd
