Rolex “16600” 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 2002.  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 great condition.  The case has appears possibly lightly polished, 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 watch comes on its original Rolex 93160A Oyster bracelet, with 10 full links (with one extra included) and minimal stretch.  Please note, the crystal has a couple minor nicks, but does not affect visibility of the dial.
