Does anyone know which dials (and why) there were two different alignments for the SWISS - T<25 printing?

(I'm specifically interested in the >Mk2 dials, but any idea about this is more than welcomed)

Thanks!

Not sure of the dial Mark # but my 16600 (not a 16660) with U serial has the hyphen centered over the 30 minute mark.

Bought my first Rolex last December when I got Thee Phone Call from AD. I was so excited like a young kid at Christmas. It was the Rolex James Cameron Sea Dweller 44mm and I love it. I am unable to insert a picture as I don't have a URL site for a picture.

Despite the many Rolex owned even more prestigious and expensive, 16600 remains my watch, the rest is .... only a game

I was actually looking for one of these when I got my submariner back in the day

This one found me a couple months ago. My 14060M is really all I need, but this SD is fun to wear!

Nice one. To me the 16600 is the one Rolex I always wanted. Mine recently came back from service at RSC and looks great (Mark IV dial from 2006). Essential Rolex. Maybe a current Explorer 36mm at some point.

The version of this with the Italian octopus is just outstanding.

Wow! Thanks for posting that beauty - what a beautiful set and piece of history!

I loved reading about the Sea Dweller. As a lifelong diver, I have always preferred the Sea Dweller to the Submariner, and was recently given the chance to purchase one from my AD. It is definitely a generational piece and something I will cherish.

16660 and 16600 you can't go wrong

Agreed the 5 digit sea dweller is one of the most balanced divers Rolex has produced. Gerry your dial was made for the Police divers in Italia looks great ! Your photos are always spot on
