Hello from New York

Long-time lurker, I'm happy to finally make my first post in this forum. I was given a Sea-Dweller a few years ago (my dad's everyday watch for more than two decades, an 8.3 mil 16660), and I've been hooked ever since.

I'm sure I'll be getting another sport Rolex when the time is right, but for now I'll be reading up, and probably collecting the original accessories that came with the SD (I have a service box and service papers from '07, but I want to collect the vintage pieces and reassemble the original set).

I learn something new everyday on here-- thanks to everyone for making this place an awesome resource.

Indeed he did-- and he bought himself a Deepsea last year, so in hindsight, maybe he was looking at the whole thing as a bit of an upgrade on his part.
