New but old…

There was no waiting list for this one. Maybe not the most popular reference but I like the more toolish look. From 2008 and the case looks ok and not that over polished…

Sea Dweller is a fan favorite! Your reference and the 16610 are the epitome of a tool watch. I’ve put my 16610 through the ringer and it still works and looks like a champ. Cheers.

I think this and the Sub/GMT, the last of the great historical references before it all went clinical.

Lovely watch, great shot

Great watch. Underrated by many, but not by those who own one.

I glanced at the photo and thought it was a no date submariner. Not that familiar with all the reference numbers. A Sea Dweller has always been one of my favs. This one looks exceptional! Congrats…

Fabulous. I'd take that over any SS six digit sub.

Not popular? I think the 16600 is one of the all-time greats. Congrats, enjoy!
