Hello!

This is Kaneko from Commit Ginza!
Today we will be introducing the Sea-Dweller/Triple Six.

Rolex Sea-Dweller Triple Six All Tritium
Ref.16660 Serial.82 series (manufactured around 1983)
Cal.3035 Hard grooveless bracelet 93160/FF592 Clasp code I11
Accessories: Box
SOLD OUT!!

The second generation Sea-Dweller "Ref. 16660" appeared around 1981

This model is commonly known as "Triple Six" due to the three "6"s in the model number.

The main changes from the original Sea-Dweller "Ref. 1665" are:

○The windshield has been changed from plastic to sapphire crystal.
○By enlarging the helium gas escape valve, water resistance of 1,220m is achieved.
○The bezel has been changed to prevent reverse rotation.
○The change in caliber allows for quick date changes.

It will be.

The model we are introducing this time is the later model with edges.

The Ref. 16660 is a watch that, like the Submariner Ref. 5513, Ref. 16800, and GMT-Master Ref. 16750,
The early and late models are distinguished by whether the index has no border ("borderless") or a metal border ("bordered").

Well!! The watch we are introducing this time has a pumpkin dial with beautifully lit tritium luminous coating.

What do you think? This intense tan!! It's so cool.

Among the bordered triple sixes,
It's rare to see a specimen that is so badly burned.

Here is a comparison photo with the 16610 Submariner Date/Tritium model (right).
When comparing them like this, can you see how badly the tanning of the piece we are introducing is?

The dial has a beautiful matte aging effect overall.
This is one of the most impressive models from the 80's.

The luminous material is all tritium.
The luminous hands also have a beautiful burnt finish, creating an outstanding atmosphere!

The condition is overall there are scratches from use,
The case is in good condition and highly recommended!!

The middle case is thick with sharp edges and is in excellent condition.

The hairline on the rug feet is also in good condition.
It has a beautiful finish.

Buckle clasp code is I11.

The bracelet, which is appropriate for the age, is slightly wrinkled, but the look is not particularly marred.
It's an 80's model, so that's part of its charm!

If you look closely at this particular item, you'll notice that the FF number is engraved inverted.

Error found!!

This was a point that I personally found interesting.

Finally, a wrist shot!!
Enjoy the rugged and cool 80's Sea-Dweller!!
