It has the great bracelet and Glidelock as well as the non-maxi case and lugs. It has the ceramic bezel, the matte dial, and the non-cyclops date.

It’s been a long time since this SD4K has seen the light of day (it was hibernating at the bank), and boy did I miss it. The LVc will be splitting time again.

Great watch. I have yet to own one, but the points you addressed might just change that!

rmlovett1 · 8 March 2018, 09:42 AM

Love that one!

roadie1 · 8 March 2018, 09:50 AM

One of my favorites! Wear it almost daily.

aquatimerfla · 8 March 2018, 10:00 AM

Perfection.

Modern classic.

2.5-3yr production.

History moving forward will verify this. The last of the True Sea dweller Models

roger0770 · 8 March 2018, 10:04 AM

Great watch!

Justinmg · 8 March 2018, 10:03 AM

Agree, regret selling mine

superstarmar · 8 March 2018, 10:03 AM

Excellent choice!!! I love mine as well for the same reasons.

albmich · 8 March 2018, 10:14 AM

I agree SD4k is exactly as you described. I’m keeping mine forever and I’m planning to keep it all original (never going to get it serviced, I dont mind if it starts running slow I met a guy at a bar one time and his was losing 8 minutes a day and he didn’t care. and once it craps out I’ll be due for a new Rolex at this time anyways). Great watch. Cheers

gotta service brother

rebuff bracelet...maybe

polish case? NEVER!

tng11 · 8 March 2018, 10:20 AM

Great shot!

I just picked up one of these yesterday. Definitely an underappreciated piece. The SD43 is a great and fun watch, still on the honeymoon phase with it after picking it up a week ago. But I'm sure the SD4K will be one of those lasting pieces, a true classic and the last of a iconic line of SD models.

inosaris · 8 March 2018, 10:21 AM

That is a beauty! Definitely a contender for best modern Rolex

sensui · 8 March 2018, 10:33 AM

One of the best for sure Steve. Impeccable taste as usual.

HogwldFLTR · 8 March 2018, 12:29 PM

It is by far my favorite Rolex diver!!!

Definitely worth giving it the old college try. I bet it’s a keeper once you get it.

Yeah, I can easily see that. I kick myself for stashing it away for the last several months. Gotta wear it and enjoy it!

Won’t polish either, but I will eventually service to keep it running right.

Well said. And I love the short production run, too!

Love the look of the watch. Perfect classic size for most people unlike the new model. A keeper for sure. Wear in the best of health.

BreezyMan · 8 March 2018, 01:36 PM

It’s was a good ref tbh I like it more than the new ref

ap1 · 8 March 2018, 01:40 PM

nyc2la · 9 April 2018, 09:00 AM

On the move. Love this watch every time I put it on the wrist.

nyc2la · 9 April 2018, 09:02 AM

Odie-r · 9 April 2018, 09:03 AM

Its certainly a nice piece!

Rolex.c6 · 9 April 2018, 09:49 AM

My one and only!
Too bad were (probably) not gonna see a 40mm Sea Dweller with 3235 movement. It would be the only watch I would change my 116600 for.

Hulk&Daytona · 9 April 2018, 10:05 AM

Amazing watch! I have a chance to buy a NOS (no name on warranty card yet) SD4K, does anybody know if this will make it worth more in future than say a 2017 model being a 2018? I’ve always wanted to stay within production years, however I would like my name on the warranty card but will be a 2018 model if I do.

Don't think it matters? Mine is 2018 NOS. Are you paying a premium for yours?

Yes it is at a grey dealer near me, asking price is £11,000 (almost $16,000)

Is this a fair deal?

How much did you pay for your 2018 NOS?

That’s not a bad price all things considered. You could certainly save a couple of Grand buying mint instead f you’re planning on wearing it.
