I got my first seadweller about five years ago and I’ve loved them ever since.
My first was an accidental purchase as I was getting an Omega Seamaster regulated and the guy offered me 2k for it.I said maybe,but I’m looking for a seadweller in trade.
He said are you interested in vintage,I said maybe and he pulled out of his safe a 1665.It was in rough condition but the dial looked sweet so I bought it,then had it serviced,and it came out rather well.
At the time I was hung up on trying to get the perfect watch and was bothered that it wasn’t unpolished.
Looking back,how many 1665s are.I wish I’d of kept it now but I got good money and moved on to a 16600.Then I had a 16660 for a few weeks and then another 16600.
Never all at the same time by the way,I flipped then bought again until finally I got a mint unpolished full set 16600.
I loved it but I think people who had one will understand when I say that I couldn’t get it to fit perfectly.
It used to slide about my wrist or if I took a link out nearly cut my circulation.
Anyway,I moved it on and was seadwellerless for a couple of months until today.
A bit out the blue really but I got the chance of the latest seadweller,which is no mean feat in Australia,they’re as the proverbial unicorn poo.
Jumped on it today,first impressions I love it and fits great,no slide and honestly doesn’t feel heavy in the slightest.
Hope you like my pics and thanks for reading.

Congrats...think I would’ve stuck with the 1665 personally, those pics of it are awesome ...hands down my favorite ref within the SD line though a matte 666 would be awesome also...was your 666 matte?
