Rolex “Full-Set” Sea-Dweller

Description

Up for grabs is a lovely example of the Rolex Sea-Dweller, the Reference 16600, which was a continuation from the Reference 16660, with a new and upgraded Caliber 3135 movement (replacing the old caliber 3035).  This particular example was produced in 1991.  The 16600 Sea-Dweller retains features as the 16660, with the same sapphire crystal and larger helium valve that allowed it to descend to the deeper depth of 1220 meters/4000 feet underwater.

This Rolex Sea-Dweller is in excellent vintage condition.  The case has appears unpolished, with the factory beveled edges still visible, and a thick and beefy case.  The dial is beautiful, with no flaws or cracking to the lacquer, and still very glossy.  The original tritium lume is still present in both dial and hands, aged to a creamy yellow color in the dial; the hands are lighter, without as much patina as the color to the plots of the dial.  The original bezel insert has aged to a lovely blue hue. The watch comes on its original Rolex 93160/592 Oyster bracelet, with 13 full links (with one extra included) and light stretch.

Further, this example comes complete with its original inner and outer Rolex box, filled out Warranty Certficate, booklets, hangtag (with serial number), and anchor.
