- Is the Sea-Dweller 16600 good for daily wear?
- Yes. The 40mm steel case and Oyster bracelet make it a practical everyday watch, though it sits thicker than a Submariner.
- How is it different from a Submariner?
- It has a date, a thicker case built for deeper diving and no cyclops magnifier over the date. The Submariner is slimmer and simpler.
- Does it have a helium escape valve?
- No. The 16600 is the last Sea-Dweller without a side helium valve; later models added one.
- What movement does it use?
- It runs a Rolex automatic movement with a date function and quick-set.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its steel bracelet. Box and papers depend on the individual example, so check what is included.
- Is it suitable for diving?
- It was built as a saturation dive watch, but the stated water resistance here is 50 m, so have it pressure-tested before diving.
