There has been oh so much talk about the NEW Sea Dweller…

And I have no doubt that it's a very nice watch…

But there is no replacing the "Work Horse" of my collection…

Here's to my unpolished P Series 16600…

All Hail…!!!

its the watch!

Its more desirable to me as we go through the "ceramicization" of the Oyster Professional line-up...

I love the classics as much as the next guy, but I'm really loving my ceramic bezel too. It's like air cooled 911 with 250hp vs today's direct injected 400hp engine... No wrong answers! Cheers.

Hmmmm, as far as I can see the new SD has the same engine as the old one… I think this is more like the same air cooled 911 but with LED taillights and modern alloy wheels… More like a facelift than anything revolutionary. It's very nice, but for that I think they are charging a bit too much IMO.

I'm perfectly happy with my 16600Z.

No reason to change your watch Blackdog. That one is gorgeous!

The older non-ceramic Sea Dweller's is definitely the way to go in my book.....

jamesbondOO7 · 6 May 2014, 04:27 AM

Everything non-ceramic is the way to go.

Ichaice · 6 May 2014, 04:43 AM

Love mine but can see myself getting the new one at some stage

MaxCargo · 6 May 2014, 05:00 AM

Yes. All Hail

Rashid.bk · 6 May 2014, 06:11 AM

I mean it's nice and all but you gotta go a little further back to get me excited, like before white gold surrounds back. Then we can really do some hailing.
So if my choice is this or the new SDc then in my case I would choose the ceramic hands down without a doubt. But that's just me.
The SD 16600 was my first Rolex and that's a beautiful SD you have, so what matters is that you enjoy "it" and don't worry to much about the new kids on the block.

Speed · 6 May 2014, 06:29 AM

Thanks Clay!

REFZ · 6 May 2014, 06:35 AM

Mostly I change between my 16600 and 114060 every day but I've been wearing my 16600 since saturday now.

Beef · 6 May 2014, 06:51 AM

Love an SD!

strafer_kid · 6 May 2014, 07:05 AM

SD16600 is a true classic alright! Definitely a keeper but still my add the new ceramic!

HogwldFLTR · 6 May 2014, 09:10 AM

Oh, that watch is so last milenium; now everyone only wants Ceramic. I'll do you a favor and take it off your hands so you can move on to the newest and greatest.

cop414 · 6 May 2014, 09:37 AM

Love those SD's, classic Rolex!

polarinda · 6 May 2014, 10:43 AM

I think the new SD suits you more. Send it to me, i collect old junks. :)
