I've noticed a number of posts regarding different series of the Sea Dweller ie M series, Z series.

How can I tell which series my Sea Dweller is? There doesn't seem to be anything on the packaging, other than 16600.

It was purchased new from an AD in late 2006. I'm fairly sure it hadn't been sitting at the AD for too long prior to me purchasing it.

Only recently found out about this forum. Well impressed with the knowledge out there.

Thanks in advance.

You should see the letter in the serial # located on your warranty card and between the lugs.

There should be a serial number on the paperwork that accompanied your watch. If you don't have paperwork the other way to tell is to remove the bracelet and the serial number will be between the lugs. Hope this helps.

First there is no such thing as a series of Rolex watches,all the letters or numbers could ever tell you was an approximation when a watch case was stamped.The serials are much like any other serial like on say any other product you buy.If you take off the bracelet the serial and model ref will be between the watch lugs on watch case.And don't make a lot of difference how long it was at AD,in general SS watches are not long enough at ADs to gather dust if its around 2006 could be a D or Z case stamp..

Wow, talk about a quick reply. Guess even Rolex forums provide a good service!

The warranty certificate has a perforated serial number at the top right hand corner. It starts with 'D'. So I'm guessing Padi56 was spot on.

Thanks again.

Well if its a D case stamp the case was stamped sometime between May 2005 to April 2006 but completed watch when it arrives at AD could be later.
