A SD 16600 was my first as well and I really do regret selling it....for you guessed it a Deepsea. I really miss it.

Never look back. Watches are a journey and your taste and experience level grows over time.

I still have it. And it's my favorite.
An early 90s sub.

When I bought my first BNIB in 2009, I declined a 16600 - didn’t even try it on - and picked up a 14060m instead.

Sold the 14060m in fall 2019 and I remain glad it went to a new home...if I had bought the 16600 instead, I might still have it, since I own and love that reference now.

No regrets on selling my first tho.

No regrets. Purchased the 114060 and just didn’t like the maxi case. So sold it back to my AD and purchased the SD4K. Wore that for a few years and eventually moved
that on prior to it being discontinued. Missed out on the appreciation so that is a regret.

However, I recently picked up an excellent cond 2008 16600 Seadweller with full kit incl the Rolex tool and 4000 meter anchor from my AD - they had taken it on a trade-in. So I got back the SD and at least in my eyes the perfect SD.

Bought my first Rolex in 2004 as a young and dumb 24 year old. A 16264 thunderbird datejust. Ran into some financial trouble about a year later(as most 24 year olds do) and had to sell it. Man I miss that watch. Own a new submariner and a GMT now but still think about getting a new steel datejust for nostalgic reasons.

Bought 16600 2 years ago, great watch. Should have bought it 9 years ago, much cheaper. OP, Prices are not crazy yet.

sold my first rolex, a 14060, because it bored me, .and recently bought a same year 16600: I like the 1660 so much more. it's quite possibly the best classic everyday modern diver. so many little details that are more interesting than a standard sub.

I loved that watch and wish I still had it

funny this was my first Rolex which I bought in 2000, and yes, I regret trading it.
