Ref. 16600
An older generation Sea-Dweller has passed through many stages of development, but its form always remained unchanged. The closed endlinks create a beautiful finely polished vertical surface and gently merge into the bracelet. The watch also features a Superluminova dial and hands (despite correct "T" marking), a creeping central second hand and a small date window – without doubt a striking classic Rolex timepiece with great potential for increasing its value.
