Incoming - 16600

Bought from a trusted bricks and mortar seller at Far East Plaza here in Singapore.

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 OP. There’s something special about sea-dwellers. Yours looks as complete as they come.

Excellent choice. The 16600 was always my favorite Rolex. Perfect features and combination of classic and more modern elements.

Congratulations OP.
The 4 and 5 digits Sea-Dwellers are the best you can have.

Thanks for all your comments - really appreciated.

I'm definitely taken by this watch. The combination of SELs with hollow bracelet links, the heft of the case with the old fashioned aluminium insert. It's just awesome...

The 16600 is such a cool tool watch/diver reference. I have thought so many time to pull the trigger on it but I may need to get determined on it.
