Rolex

There are few vintage and modern Rolex I am running after, besides the GMT MASTER. The Sea Dweller, or its modern iteration is one of them. For the moment, I " only " have the Sea Dweller 16660, which is a strong love affair. Now, I am dreaming of a 1665 ...

My attraction to the 126660 JC was all about the blue/black dial color -- specifically that it (a) is beautiful dial (b) would add variety to my collection. Every other Rolex I own has a black dial. I had a 116660 for 12 years and thought it was perfectly...
