Pulled the trigger on a BNIB SD 16600
After many failed attempts at hunting a 16600 Sea Dweller at various AD's in NJ, NY, and CT, I managed to luck out and see Neil (aka jizeal)'s post in the classifieds. I just clicked the send button in paypal and needless to say I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas . I should get it mid next week once Neil gets back to FL. I'll be counting down the minutes till then. This'll be my first Rolex and the newest member of the family collection (dad has a 1665 Sea Dweller and mom has a Tudor Submariner). I'll definately post pics once it gets here. Thank you TRF for helping me keep the family tradition

Congratulations!
I love my SD although it fights for wrist time with my LiquidMetal Planet Ocean. IMO the SD is THE ROLEX DIVER. No engraved rehaut, no Cyclops, no ceramic, no PCLs - just classic Rolex. Fr. John† |
