Old Watch Incoming
I've been on the hunt for the right one of these for a while and I missed out on a great example about a month ago and when this one popped up I had to jump. With this addition I have the complete trio of SS 5 digit dive references.

Yeah the Chinese booklets are really cool too. All my other watches have English booklets so it’s nice to have some diversity.

Congratulations, a great watch and looks to be in fine condition.
The 16600 is on my wish list, just waiting for a nice one.
Well done on achieving the 5 digit trio, love to see a photo of the three together.

Appreciate it everyone! Have had it on my wrist since it came in and even with my smallish wrist I love the way it wears. Fits just like the other 40mm 5 digit cases, just with a little more height and weight.

Dive extension on the SD is pretty cool too. Took me a second to figure it out though since the subs I have you just pull it out to extend.

I'm on vacation right now, but as soon as I'm back home I'll definitely get a picture together. They're all a little different too. 16800 is matte, 14060 is tritium w/ wg surrounds and the SD is luminova so there's some variety.

Nice pick up. See folks, here is where the deals are at. No need to lament the vast Mark-ups on the 6 digit references.
