I cannot argue this point either…and I can usually argue anything.

Lots of love for 16600!

I think it's the very best looking version of the Sea Dweller, and an excellent alternative to the Submariner. Great examples of this, guys.

Great looking watch. I'm actually on the list for a 43 as a Sub substitute.

16610 is one of the best looking dive watches Rolex ever made imo.

I had one from new for 10 years, sold it when I got the bug for different Rolexes. It was a great watch, tough as nails, a bit chunky as it sits on the wrist.

The 16600 is one Rolex watch I have always admired. I love how the watch sits on the wrist.
