The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 is the third iteration of the Sea-Dweller family. Originally released in 1988, it remained in production for a whopping two decades before finally being retired in 2008. Although part of the Sea-Dweller line, these actually wear smaller than modern Submariners. The lack of a cyclops is also a big attraction for some watch nerds.

The example we have here is as close to a NOS watch as you could get. It has not have been worn more than a few times and has had two Rolex movement services by its careful owner. The caseback sticker is still intact, and there are just minor handling marks on the case that are only visible on very close inspection.
