Sea Dweller: Lug holes vs no lug holes
After a very long time I've decided on purchasing a Sea Dweller 16600 as my first Rolex. There's only one question, lug holes or no lug holes.
What does either system offer as a benefit? Which is going to have higher resale value? Thanks in advance :) |

I'll have none please.
All else being equal, don't think it will affect the value either way.

No lug holes. Cleaner look, unless you plan on using NATO straps.

Don't matter to me, same watch and same look. If you're looking for resale value, no one knows. It's my favorite of the diver watches.

40% of people are misguided. Surprised they even like Rolex at all.

Don't know why Rolex stopped producing lug holes on their ultimate tool watch, the 16600/Dweller.
 Could'nt vote, in spite of loving lug holes I'd have to go for a newer SD, sans lug holes, imo.

at this point, SD is a throw-back to earlier times, so, might as well go all-in and get the lug holes.

Of course we sadly too often hear of resale value as a priority when buying a watch...but I don't think I've ever heard of lug holes as an impact...just a personal preference.

No Lug Holes. I prefer the cleaner look without the holes.
