1990 (E-serial) Tritium 16600 Sea-Dweller Photos
Having worn my vintage GMT and SUB a lot recently, I thought it was a good time to get out the not-so-old SD again for the new month.

I love this watch. For me, the perfect 'tool-watch'. It's big, heavy and rugged enough for my needs, with a fair bit of vintage appeal, being nearly 24 years old, with a gorgeous natural fade and creamy pearl on the original insert; sharp and chunky unpolished case (with some light battle scars), slight cream patina on the dial plots, a recent movement-only service at Rolex in Zurich, and a bracelet refurb.

I've been enjoying taking some photos of it, and thought some of you may appreciate a few - hope you like them

Looks great Vincent! I concur that the SD certainly has a rugged look to it. With proper dimensions to boot.
