My First Rolex!!!! SD 16600 My Perfect Watch!

I was finally able to purchase the watch I have been drawn toward ever since I knew what a dive watch was. I went through a Seiko, Omega SMP 2254.50 and an Omega Planet Ocean 2201.50 to get here but now I have the perfect dive watch. Its size and weight are perfect. The dive history of Rolex is unparalleled. Thanks to everyone who has posted pictures and articles of this amazing watch previously and allowed me to do my research before my purchase.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Aaron

AWESOME!!! Congratulations. I just bought a "new" M-Serial 16600 Sea Dweller on Tuesday and I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is an incredible watch. What serial letter is your new SD?

Absolutely love them. I made the mistake of selling a Z series earlier this year, as I had bought a DSSD.

It nagged away at me so much, I've bought a V series, and totally love it.

Enjoy it in good health.
