What a watch, cool and great definitely is understatement to describe charm and beauty of this watch. I should have got it before. I remember saying that it's just GMT MASTER II with staggering unfathomable sea going version but I was wrong after picking up SEA Dweller 4000 116600.
Diver's extension link is even giving away it's tool watch axiom. To better wrist comfort I removed it completely. Still, the watch was rotating around my wrist then I discovered bracelet clasp and easily adjusted to the narrowest position. Then it worked like charm no need to remove one link to adjust the bracelet to my wrist. It was revelation. The screw for the extension is longer than bracelet link screw too.
Even with full links, the watch is very nicely sit on my wrist.
I wouldn't leave it unsaid, the click of the bezel when you rotate is something that you need to experience, trust me
Only one gripe is the color of the lume. I expected it to be blue but it's rather greeny hue. Not bad at all but no good as what DEEP SEA offers

My favorite all around watch. Congrats!

multimedia · 14 October 2016, 08:00 PM

Big CONGRATS! The 116600, IMHO, one of the best Rolex has to offer. Definitely top 3 in my book.

Cheers,
Joe

Quicksilver · 14 October 2016, 08:04 PM

Very nice.

mailman · 14 October 2016, 08:32 PM

Congratulations and enjoy. It's a great watch

brandrea · 14 October 2016, 09:25 PM

Very nice, congratulations! Interesting to see it compared next to the BLNR.

travisb · 14 October 2016, 09:30 PM

Solid choice!
Did you have the center links polished?

andy66db · 14 October 2016, 09:31 PM

Nice choice.

is it just the light, or are the centre links polished?

Evad3 · 14 October 2016, 09:41 PM

Congrats!

First thing I noticed was the PCL, guessing you had them done?

drgoro · 14 October 2016, 09:43 PM

Great, iconic watch.

Ichaice · 14 October 2016, 09:45 PM

Congrats. I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago. I too thought the lume would be more blue like my Deepsea and Sub C were. It is blue but more subtle than I expected.

droptopman · 14 October 2016, 09:48 PM

Same as the BLNR in the pic too, first ive seen someone do this mod!

nick c · 14 October 2016, 10:32 PM

Great choice congrats

fishingbear · 14 October 2016, 10:45 PM

Congrats!
Did you get the case polished along with the bracelet center links?

regnant · 14 October 2016, 10:52 PM

Thanks guys yes,center links, case flanks, lugs are polished. I think it matches well in line with non matte cerachrom bezel

tifosi · 14 October 2016, 10:54 PM

Oh I just noticed the lugs!

cht · 14 October 2016, 10:59 PM

Not a fan of the polished parts, looks like an identity crisis...

Am I a tool watch, or a datejust II with a satin dial and a chunky bezel, or am I bling?

But a great watch none the less, big congrats, I was just looking at one yesterday!
I really enjoyed the feel on the wrist.

traf · 14 October 2016, 11:22 PM

Congrats! Interesting mod, whatever blows your hair back

Interesting mods. Beautiful watch nonetheless. Mine is watching me type at this moment. Enjoy it in good health anyway you like it. I also noticed the green lume of mine. It does not bother me at all. I can also see you polished the lugs of your GMT BLNR.

rmlovett1 · 15 October 2016, 12:43 AM

Beautiful choice!

watchwatcher · 15 October 2016, 12:46 AM

Congrats...and a great pair!

vercimber · 15 October 2016, 01:04 AM
