You've nailed it mate. I think this is the best watch you have showcased on the channel to date. It fits you like a glove. I hope Rolex go back to these cases in the future.
great to see you’ve come around on the pre-ceramic subs and sea dwellers. I have a 14060 and I’ve considered updating to the 114060, but when i see the new ones in person, I keep coming back to the ‘vintage’ cases. Understated, comfortable, more soul. Congrats!
RJ Lane thank you :) I’m a big fan. I’m very cheesed off about the video quality tho, have uploaded this twice and it’s stuck in 360p for me. Was recorded in HD ! I think pre ceramic is just awesome and looks more gnarly.
@@SteelmoonWatches I have been offered a 2006 Sea Dweller 16600 z series. Full set and still has service stickers on. They want 9k for it. Somewhat more than your 2008 beauty. Having looked across market other people want 10k. Should I pull the trigger?! 🤔
@@timkent4313 that particular sd16600 with no papers - I bought in 2018. Prices were different then. I think a good one is worth 9k gbp now. I bought my second, full set 2009 SD for 6.3k gbp. Now it’s worth around 9-10k
Nice one! My Rolex dealer just texted me yesterday to let me know that they're having a big used watch sale this weekend. Rolex and other brands. My wife is nervous! ;)
I have a sea dweller 16600 year 2000,it’s a great watch feels good wearing it,is it my favourite watch?not quite! My explorer 39mm is so comfy and smooth and doesn’t stand out but watch geeks still notice it,but I like wearing both,explorer when smart and sea dweller when casual. If I had to choose one I could not,need both! I think Rolex is now getting too expensive so glad I bought them when I did.
Just recently bought a 114060 to replace my 14060m with the thought of selling the pre ceramic after wearing the ceramic for a few months I’m glad I kept my 14060m wears nicer and yr right the early ones have character that the newer ones don’t!!👍
Great video, completely agree that value increases in watches does take away from enjoyment. I got a kermit 4 years ago and then stopped enjoying wearing it once it doubled in price as it didn't feel like the same watch. Sold it, bought a mint 16600 and wear it everyday. Love it, a bit bulkier than the 16610lv but in a good way. I think these are hugely undervalued considering there were Rolex flagship sports watches when new. :-)
I’m with yah! I just flipped my 114060 for a minty version of a 2009 z serial 16600. I loved the 114060 but always looked sideways at it due to the lugs. Once I tried the 16600, I was sold (especially the example that I got, Unpolished, minty, etc.) My best analogy for the 16600 is masculine elegance with modern vintage lines. When you service it, make sure they change out the helium escape valve. Rolliworks in San Francisco just serviced my 16600 and with shipping it totaled at $700 (including valve replacement). The watch now runs at plus 1 seconds per day.
Michael S Per Rolex’s service requirements, they always change the HEV at service. For $150, I think it’s worth the piece of mind knowing that it’s new and won’t leak. Make sure your independent watch maker has a Rolex parts account too so that they don’t use aftermarket components. Best,
I have a 16600, check this out - I also have a 2010 Daytona with the new bracelet all solid polished and brushed links, solid milled clasp. I took the bracelet off the Daytona and put it on the Sea-Dweller using the Daytona spring bars since the Sea-Dweller bars are just a bit too fat. I then put the all brushed, hollow links of the 16600 on the Daytona, it took the bling of the Daytona way down in a lovely way. I'm having fun with my watches, and the newer bracelet on the Sea-Dweller just brings the whole look up stunning, and heavy.
Hi Michael,I love my 16600 sea dweller and my explorer 1 39mm new clasp, I like the old clasp and the new, I cannot choose between these 2 watches,I could never sell either,I buy watches and sell but these are to keep,there is something very special about these two,as for the new maxi lugs on the sub I tried it on and NO NO big mistake.
Admittedly it took me a few years to mature into the pre ceramic world , but I think it's definitely where the party is at. Couldn't find a black pre ceramic GMT like yours, it was on my list. The 16600 is stuck on the wrist the last 2 months and I don't see it going anywhere
I hadn't even considered pre-ceramic until I saw your other videos. I'm going to go with the 40mm sea-dweller do to the added heft. You are right though, they ceramic bezels are shiny and nice but remind me of a glossy piano. The tones and vibe of the pre-ceramic remind me of a vintage Leica camera. Great channel.
Got one, immaculate condition 2005. Papers, box etc. Wanted £6500 . Retailer specialising in Rolex, did not want to know. Did not even give me a price. Said it's because of the reference, presumably they meant the model number 16600!
Well done on that. Absolute tool watch, great size, and a fair bit of heft too. I was trying one on yesterday, and it's just an absolute tank, but the proportions are just right. There's nothing it will not stand up to. I too much prefer 5 digit Rolex models for daily use, and my 16570 gets 80% of my wrist time. If I was going for a dive watch, I'd get a 16600 as I am still kicking myself for letting go of my 16660.
You’ll be back Michael ... the 114060 is in your head. Besides those lugs are actually a throw back to the shape of the original 6204 cushion case. Cheers.
For me the 16600 is the best money can buy ..what a great piece why would you buy a Sub when you can buy a proper dive watch ...and that's a great price.
I have been eyeing up at 16600 n, circa 1992. No papers and no box. Prices have gone up since a year ago I can see! Great watch, my first Rolex. Start of something great to come.
I have the same watch love it forget its on my wrist and check from time to time to make sure its there .As a diver never had a problem as well as lonng distance open water sea swimming . The only problem a service is expensive at Rolex shops .
You got a hell of a deal! Forums? I've been going back and forth between this and 16700/16710 myself for about a year haha. Glad you found the one for you and thanks for sharing~
Fully agree, now that you made the journey from the new models to this 16600 you can really appreciate the design more than the brand, the art more than the fashion. So cheers, enjoy it. Suggest you have it certified by Rolex.
I have only owned one Rolex, it's a Sea-Dweller which I bought new in 2008 for £3,300. At the time I was also looking at a Submariner because I liked the Bond heritage of that model. I decided on the Sea-Dweller though. Sometimes I find myself looking at the GMT because of the coloured bezel, but I may stay with the 16600.
Great review on a classic. Definitely a proper tool combat ready watch. I have also spent the 14y working in ME (Saudi and UAE). It is a great place to pick up a vintage watch w light use. How is the lume on this watch?
Congrats on the new buy looks fantastic! And a really decent price too. I have to agree that pre ceramics look better in almost all cases. The only aspects that put me off a bit are the bracelet and clasps of the older models and the possibility of having a franken watch/getting ripped off etc. For me buying pre-ceramic would require doing a fair bit homework first but I'd love to own one one day. I was browsing Chrono 24 for a 16710 today thinking how much nicer they are compared to the modern GMT models - but it's getting to the point where I would not feel comfortable wearing a 10 thousand dollar watch...
Thanks mate, very pleased with the purchase. Yeah I think depending on which watch you want from the pre ceramic world, it is always worth doing your homework, it took me one year to buy a 16600, I remember I started looking at the them in April 2018! That classic Rolex Pepsi is just stunning but it's gone into stupid territory price wise now. I think the 16700 is a better bargain than the 16710 and you can have a quickset date which is super useful
@@SteelmoonWatches 16700 have also gone up a bit, but are definitely the ones to go for, seeing the nonsense on the 16710. You get 2 timezones and the quickset, and frankly don't need much more in a travel watch.
I like your reviews on the sea dweller 16600. I’m considering buying a 2007-z serial number. Any updated thoughts on this watch? Seems like a year ago it was the only watch you were wearing. I have a explorer that I love, thought I would get one a little more bulky. Let me know your thoughts.
Perfect video for me, currently thinking of parting with my 114060 for the SD and similar thought process to yourself. Always look forward to your thoughts mate, keep the content coming 👍✊
Motor Enthusiasting thanks mate. It’s a cracking watch and I am pleased that I made the change. Classic proportions with no date looks and with Sea Dweller individuality.
Great watch. I have gone back and forth between the submariner and this Sea Dweller and just love the Sea Dweller and will likely purchase soon. Really enjoyed your video, love to listen to watch talk!
Great video as always Michael. Good to see you back. Have a few Rolexes including the 114060 which I love and share your opinion on the pre ceramic SD. I’ve been looking at acquiring Omega lately as a change and put my name on the list for a Seamaster 1948 small seconds... AD literally called today to say it’s in. What’s your opinion on Omega and this piece? Best regards.
2008 SD for 5900usd, no papers. The market here is cheaper for modern vintage as they just think it's old here rather than discontinued, works to my favours. Picked up my 16570 explorer 2 2008 for 4500usd !
Fantastic watch mate! Even modern 'super collectors' respect the pre-ceramic 40mm steel sports Rolex models. That case fits so many different wrist shapes and sizes it's ridiculous! From a time when Rolexes were tool watches as opposed to watches worn by tools!!
Have you ever compared the 16600 to an omega Moonwatch? I’m just wondering how the cases compare? I have an 8” wrist and between the 16600 and the 114060 🤦🏻♂️
I wonder if putting one of these contemporary 'ceramic coatings' that are used on cars in place of wax could work in preventing scratches on the metal?
Matt Hatter I really like the Pelagos, was thinking about it the other week. I’d go for the normal RHD but I’m a big fan of those, the blue is gorgeous too. I was put off by the soft titanium only
The Pelagos is really the modern day version of the Sea Dweller 16600 - a proper tool watch rather than a luxury item. I used to own it, and it was the most legible watch I ever owned. Highly recommended. The LHD version would be my choice, too. Very cool, and comfortable, too.
Recently got a 16710 Pepsi as an Engagement present. Not enough time with it to comment on preferences versus the modern references but honestly I like both 5-digit and 6-digit. There is no doubt that 6-digit is a step above in quality. The finishing, materials, feel, and engineering are all better. I have grown to be ok with the fat lugs on my 114060 because it is a divers watch. I don't think I'd appreciate them on other models. I have small wrists but I'm not a small guy so it looks fine on me but I agree that 6-digit Rolex models can look pretty awkward on lanky guys. I see some Asian gentleman wear them in my area and it sometimes looks like they are being worn by the watch. Overall though, I like the diversity. The Sub gives me No-Date, modern solidity, glidelock, supercase/maxi dial, and a different function. The 16710 gives me classic elegant proportions, smaller dial plots, pop of color, date function, and of course the GMT. I think the SD43 looks better on you personally. You are a big dude so the 39mm case of the SD doesn't match your frame as well. It still looks fine though and there is a bit of the old school tooly charm about it on your wrist. I think the SD43 is your true lifer.
The best Rolex sports reference. Period.
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Baker Kyson i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google =)
