Rolex enthusiasts are divided into those who like the magnifying glass over the date and those who dislike it. Technical issues aside, the lack of a cyclops is often the main argument for choosing the Sea-Dweller. This model remains more raw, more tool-like and faithful to the professional character of the diver line.
The presented copy is a real treat for collectors. Ref. 16600 from 1992 (N series) with tritium on the dial and hands. This means that the indexes acquire a natural, creamy-beige patina over time – and in this example you can already see a delicate, very aesthetic warming of the color.
The condition of the watch is excellent. It shows only very minor signs of use. The case deserves special attention – beautifully preserved, clear cuts on the lugs and a sharp edge separating them from the sides of the case. This is a key detail in collector’s models. The bezel, dial and hands look very nice and consistent.
Sea-Dweller 16600 is the last generation of the classic aluminum Sea-Dweller before the introduction of ceramic solutions. A slimmer case, lack of a magnifying glass and great water resistance make it one of the most appreciated neo-vintage Rolex divers.
