Sea-Dweller

Rolex | Ref. 16600

Sold

Sea-Dweller 16600 from 2002!

A beautiful Sea-Dweller from Germany. Sold in 2002 at Rüschenbeck in Frankfurt.

The watch case was refinished during two documented services in 2013 & 2019. As a result, the edges are slightly rounded. Nevertheless, the case still has good substance with thick lugs. Light signs of wear are visible.

The same applies to the Oyster bracelet, which, as befits a true tool watch, shows light signs of wear and slight stretch. The clasp is stamped DT7, consistent with the year of manufacture.

There are two small scratches on the crystal at 5 o'clock.

The watch comes as a full set, but in a later box (c. 2005).

The accompanying documents are comprehensive and include the following:

- Rüschenbeck Frankfurt warranty paper dated 24.12.2002 with envelope

- Submariner booklet & translation

- Two service receipts (2013&2019) from Wempe with Rolex service cards

- Diver's tool (the pin is broken) with size L diver's extension, Buhlmann table, and envelope

- Pouch containing the crown, tube, and mainspring from the last service
