Should I?

Folks, I need your help. I have been looking for a Sea Dweller to compliment my collection of Subs (5508, 5513, red 1680, 16610LV). My initial view after reading lots of blogs, and visiting forums such as these was to go for the legendary 1665. I also fancied the look of the 16660 matt dialled one as well. But the 1665 seemed to be the flavour of the month as that is what collector's were aspiring towards. In searching for one, I came across a few 1665s and they just did not connect with me. Maybe it was the way they did not sit flat on one's wrist, I do not know what it was but I just did not fall in love with the watch and I was very disappointed. Then I came across a 16660 by chance in my travels and saw this one. It’s a solid piece not in A1 condition, no papers or box etc. But as soon as I tried it, I knew this was the SD for me. With the transitional matt dial, it was the perfect cross roads in the SD history by which time Rolex was perfecting the SD. So I need your wise heads to inform me to guide me on what to look for and what are the pit falls from what you can see if this is worth getting. I am sorry the pictures are not great; it was done via my phone. The price is very reasonable considering it is one of the rarest SDs around. Thanks!
