A lot of Sea-Dwellers 16600 for sale

Is it just me or does it seem like there are an inordinate amount of SD for sale?

I own one, never dreamed of selling it but seems like everyone else is!

I am in the market for a gold sport watch so I have been watching the classifieds religiously.

Gold sports are awesome :) Which gold are you after? And there doesn't seem to be too many SD for sale, although it may be that people are looking to flip for the Ceramic model?

Sea Dweller's Up For Sale

Interesting you say that! there does seem to be a lot for sale. A good friend of mine purchased a sea dweller but found the case to be to big and to heavy? He said he could never do his sleeve up around it! so he sold it!

Never really noticed, i would suspect the number would be a fraction of the Subs that are currently for sale.

No more than usual in my eyes.
Some have flipped for the newer ceramic but there will always be the SD faithful.

I think there's definitely a lot more than normal. I like it better than the new one better anyway

I am not sure what the reason is but yes a lot of people are selling them. I have about 6 sitting in inventory. I bought 3 just this last week.

It could be that the SD4000C is generating flippers.

The 16600 (and it's predecessor cousins) are rugged timeless beasts. When it seems as though everyone and their brother-in-law has a Sub, the Sea Dweller presents a great alternative.

I think people are flipping the classics for the new SD4k.
I'm keeping mine tho.
It'll be worth at least twice the $ in 450 years from now......when the apes ride horses

I have also notice that in the uk that there seems to be as many as subs for sale .My be it is because of to many new types ie deep sea and 4000 around .

Normal market reaction.

New model out, old models appear for sale to capitalize on the increased interest.
