John: awesome shots...your Sea-Dweller pictures were one of the main reasons I bought this model back in 2006!

Too bad it´s being discontinued. Initially I though I just had to buy the followup SDDS but after giving some thought to that idea I decided not to pick it up. For me the sticker price is just more than what I am willing to pay for an all steel watch. At least for a watch that will not bcome my daily wearer due to its size and weight.

If I was to spend that kind of cash I would rather get myself a 116713 if it just had to be a Rolex or I´d wait a little longer (meaning : save a little more cash) and get the PP Aquanaut.

I´m glad I own the 16600 it will never leave my collection regardless of what prices are being paid on the market!
