A few thoughts

We will probably never see a 40mm sea-dweller ever again. This represents the best 6 digit Rolex ever in my opinion. 2.5 year production. No cyclops with a fat crystal. Trim lugs. Trim crown guards. Matte dial. Fully graduated bezel. HEV. I get why Rolex ...
This is the best modern Rolex hands down

And I feel that with time, it will be remembered as such more and more. I have also heard from a trusted vintage Rolex watchmaker that in his opinion it is the best Rolex movement ever made.
Good question

You may not have. I’d say, ask RSC, trusted watchmakers (true patina on IG - Greg) etc. Or even your SA at your AD how many have come back with issues. Haha

Great size for most wrists, no cyclops, beefy without going overboard. I came so close to buying this (and wish I had!) but on my 6.8" wrist, my 16600 is just a little lower key. Love the ceramic bezel, but it is a bit blingier than the old aluminum. Not ...

The date window is not close enough to the edge of the case, IWC get beaten up all the time about it and without the cyclops it looks worse.
Lol

Sure some say movement too small for the case but actually if you pop cyclops off that’s where the date window is. Rolex addressed this a little with the 136660 making it bigger and moving it out… But honestly all brands have issues. Take patek. 5165A was...
Hahhahaha

YESSSS
Agree, when it comes to Sea-Dwellers, this is the best.

The one reason I couldn’t bond with the previous generation(s), was the bracelet and clasp, but this one bought all the improvements under the roof. I foolishly sold mine and one day I’ll add it back, but what a watch… until the I enjoy this two ...
Yes!
