The Sea-Dweller of the calibre 3135 era, rated to 1,220 metres and produced for two decades from 1988. It kept the tool-watch brief pure while the Submariner drifted toward polish: no cyclops over the date, a helium escape valve in the case flank, and a production run long enough that it remains the most attainable route into the Sea-Dweller line.

How do I check a Rolex 16600 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
