The SD4k, 116600, is incredible -- INCOMING

One of the trusted sellers here talked me into giving the 116600 a shot (took a lot of arm twisting, I tell ya -- NOT ). I resisted initially, because prior to wearing this one I was never really interested in the Sea Dweller line (any reference).

But after wearing this for a few days, I'm a changed man. It checks so many boxes. And the little details of this particular reference that differentiate it from the Sub really seem perfect to me -- such as the full minute markers on the bezel, matte dial, and slimmed down lugs/crown guards. I thought the extra thickness would be an issue, but it wears so similarly to a 114060 in terms of thickness. In fact, it almost wears like a 5-digit due to the slimmer lugs. And of course with the glidelock clasp, getting a comfortable fit is a cinch. Plus, there's something empowering about wearing a watch that is built like a tank.

This might just be the most underrated modern Rolex, at least in my lowly opinion. I don't see this one leaving the wrist anytime soon.

Congrats on getting one of the best if not the best SD Rolex ever made! Enjoy it. This SD reference is getting harder to find on the secondary market and prices are only going north!

I agree. I actually sold everything else including my gold sub because I only want to wear the SD4k everyday

First Rolex I bought brand new in the box and the only one I have that has my name on the warranty. I bought to mark a special day after some clouser from the passing of my father.

Congrats, it’s a beautiful piece.

Looks great! It's still my favorite SD reference and I've owned all but the 16660.

It's funny how seemingly unpopular these were when available compared to now. Discontinuation really makes people notice.

Beautiful watch. Nice pickup. The last of the Sea Dweller and a great send off it was. One of my absolute favorite pieces.

You are spot on. Best modern diver made by Rolex. I owned the 114060 and the 126610lv before buying the Sd4k wish I would have started with the sd first. Way better proportions and much prefer the bezel over the sub. All the good qualities of the ceramics and still bigger than the 5 digits but without the boxy lugs of the 6 digits
