Who Sells The Best Rolex 16600 Sea-Dweller Rep?

[fna2005]

Thinking of getting my first rolex rep. I know that DSSD v5 is sooo nice but it's too dang big and heavy for my wrist. I got the chance to try it on last week from a local rolex AD and I am convinced that DSSD is not for me.

The 16600 SD was a REALLY good rep (called Super Sea Dweller -SSD of Noobfactory Sea Dweller - SSDv2) but the Deep Sea killed this great rep :'( So the SSD and SSDV2 are no longer available, and they are really expensive on the trading zone.

I know that a dealer is trying to lunch a new Sea Dweller project but no news since 2 months.

Why don't you try the classic sub 16610? Very good rep are available for this futur collector.

Hopes this help

You could buy a vintage Sea Dweller replica .. those are very nice and people do not question old models as much a new ones.

I do not think that watch is the SSD we are talking about. Nobody has had them for quite some time. Look for one used, or wait for the new one coming out.

My SSD modded halfway to conversion to a 16660...

Hont's watch could be an SSD. The key is to ask him if the SN is Z539117. That's the SN on the v2. V1 was F539117.

Very true ali...I shouldn't have ruled that out.

V2 or V1 this is an awesome watch..I mean if you receive the same as the pics..Great rehaut depth dial printing sel fit..With some cg modding another sanded insert and gen crown-tube set it will look awesome..

Mine has gen crown/tube, bk dw, gen insert, lugholes/bracelet drilled for 2mm.

I have a 16660 dial to be lumed yet.

Besides the pearl the watch looks really nice!

Would love to find a SSD, anyone want to swap for a Bk sub c with blue ceramic bezel?

Updates?

Personally, I like the TW Best version with the lug holes. I have several of them - built like a tank with a case back like a manhole cover.

That is the case I am looking for. Drilled lugs no engraving. E

TW Best made 16600's? This is the first I've heard of this.

Learn new things every day here.

I would have thought I'd have seen some of these on the second hand market.

Post some pictures Bill if you can! I'd love to see those!

TJ, care to sell a case?

"Personally, I like the TW Best version with the lug holes. I have several of them - built like a tank with a case back like a manhole cover."

"That is the case I am looking for. Drilled lugs no engraving."

I had a couple SD from 'River' about 7 or 8 years ago that might have been 'TWB'...lug holes etc but no engraving between the lugs...and they were built like a tank (a small tank).

I had one apart and it had a 3.0mm thick sapphire crystal in it. I do not remember if the helium valve worked or not as it has been so long. They were 14.65mm thick because I wrote it down in my notes.

Something else...I fitted one with a used genuine case tube/genuine crown and the case tube hole had to be drilled and tapped in the case. After it was drilled and tapped, the case was very thin where the groove was machined in the case for the gasket.

The case tube threads were originally the same size as a 5.3mm case tube.

[Ephry73]

Confirmed, gen crystal WON'T fit the SD newer cases. rehaut IS wrong. Had to try it for myself.
