Stainless steel Sea-Dweller model 16660 – 12-27-027
Stainless steel Sea-Dweller model 16660 from the mid-1980s with black dial and bezel insert on Oyster Fliplock 93160 bracelet. It has the later dial with white gold surrounds to the luminous dots, but why is it so cheap ? We're selling this as a well-worn “beater,” a Rolex for everyday use which is already somewhat worn so that you don't mind getting further wear or cosmetic marking. The glass shows visible wear to the edge, the bezel is somewhat stiff and the worn bracelet appears to have had some repairs carried out by a third party, not Rolex. To be specific, the two end links are a more modern 93160A solid end link and a curious “592 Z” in the older style, while we believe the wet-suit extension part of the clasp not to be original. Mechanically the Rolex 3035 calibre movement is running well, testing close to perfect for us during April 2014. Sold with our own presentation box and warranty card.
