astronaut616 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi guys Im thinking about buying this 16600 sea-dweller and just wondering if it is a good choice: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=7340&zenid=c06fff231234867974d943254c055060 There seems to be only this version available with all the TDs. What do you guys think, is it good? Or does it have major tells? I plan to buy a correct bezel to put on it; so pearl-wise it is handled. Since I am a Rolex noob please comment and recommend TQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perry563 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 No. A new SD is coming out soon. I'd wait for that one since it's supposed to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astronaut616 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I understand that how does this one rank by itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 No. A new SD is coming out soon. I'd wait for that one since it's supposed to be very good. NICE! have been trying to source a SSD V2 with no luck, so i'll just wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiyal Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Date wheel is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astronaut616 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 whats specifically wrong with the date wheel and aside from the date wheel are there any other major flaws? I would like to wear it as a daily beater without getting called out embarassingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 My guess is that he won't have it in stock. Over all it looks pretty decent to me. A little massaging of the crown guards would help. The DW looks pretty normal to me other than the date not being perfectly centered. But with no cyclops you can hardly see the date on an SD anyway. And it doesn't mean that the one you get is going to be like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astronaut616 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Yes I've confirmed with a few dealers that a new SD is coming out in 1 or 2 months. But ofcourse, I've also read that they said that about 1 or 2 months ago. So yes a new one is coming out, apparently it has better lume called Superlume. I'm not sure how much of a difference they will make but according to one particular TD it will make I quote "a world of difference". It might cost a bomb though. In my case, I really can't wait I want to get this one now and maybe that one eventually. So yeah, I want this as a daily beater now, personally I cant tell the difference between this current one and gen, thats why Im asking if theres something Im not seeing. Anyways do you guys find the rehaut wokky? and the Crystal-glass quite low? I don't know those are the 2 things concerning me. I am led to believe from my research that this isnt the notorious Super-Sea Dweller, but I think it looks alright. What do y'all think?

Jkay Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I am led to believe from my research that this isnt the notorious Super-Sea Dweller, but I think it looks alright. What do y'all think? Since the factory stopped making them 18 months or 2 years ago ... I'd say anyone trying to sell you a new "SSD" would be a liar.

astronaut616 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yep I understand. How does this one stand on its on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 The only Rolex rep of which I can say I have a complete grasp is the DSSD; sorry. I can't comment on the normal SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
