This is honestly the best Rolex ever made. Look at this profile, how well balanced it is (three separate parts with almost equal thickness: back, case and bezel). History and collectability are just a bonus, over a marvellous watch.
Absolutely 💯… however very difficult to find right now 😢
I wear my 40mm SD4000 everyday - fantastic watch and scarcity alone means it should be a great long term investment.
IMO this is THE best modern watch made by Rolex. I have a White DaytonaC and the new BLRO yet I prefer this to the them. Also, 2.5years of production run makes it an instant classic.
The Sea-Dweller in 40 mm is a GREAT watch I would definitely keep in the collection. The bezel is so much brighter and detailed but the current sizes (43 and 44 mm) are not convenient for most people. This is the perfect mix. Similar but more esclusive than a classic Sub!
Best Rolex sport model ever made… perfect dimensions and only produced for 3 years …
A follow up review on the rubber strap would be awesome. I’ve been wearing my SD4K as a daily since May ‘18 but still have it on the Rolex bracelet. Given the size and depth of your collection, no reason to move this fantastic and somewhat modern classic along, that’s my view anyway. Hope you get some pleasure out of wearing it
Not flashy but it pops the most. Best looking one of your collections in my opinion.
I much more prefer the SD4000 to the SD43. The SD4000 is the first SD with ceramic bezel and the last 40mm without cyclops. So if I had to sell one it would be the SD43. keeping both, you could try the rubber strap or a simple NATO on the SD4000. I completely understand that you want to differentiate the more as possible the watches (that’s why I didn’t bought the 43).
"Make it my beater".... ARE YOU INSANE? The SD4000 116600 is absolutely a collectors piece.
Only produced for 3 years with the perfect dimensions … the best Rolex sport model ever made
Im 13 years old, and there is one thing i know for sure. Im gonna own a rolex No mather What!
I felt the exact same way at 13 buddy - I used to look through the window of an AD and think "I'm gonna own one of those little b@stards one day". Alas cars girls and university came between - I was 40 before I bought my first Rolex. Damn it. :-(
@@j.burgess4459 damn that is a long time. haha
the reason a lot of 30 and older folk like watches is because watches were basically required back in the 90s and earlier. we all grew up with them. but with the younger generation and having phones on them 24/7, watches are completely unnecessary; they are no longer tools, but are now accessories. it makes me wonder if the ownership of watches will ever fall by the way side. it also makes me wonder if owning a rolex in 20 years will still seen as a status symbol.
@@poopy_fingers3324 Truth is, luxury Swiss watches haven't truly been "tools" since about 1970...
Adam determination, motivation and importantly education is the key to success! Focus and you won’t fail buddy
Your unboxing presentations of the Rolex line are by far the best and most informative on RUclips. Thank you for detailed work.
4:01 "and FINALLY the watch!"
Great presentation as always. Congratulations.
I'd keep the SD4K on top of the SD43. I used to think the SD4K was a commercial failure for a good reason (the little quirks) but not anymore, I now see it as very special piece actually. You won't see many of these in the wild. It represents the last of a kind, of a long series of traditional Sea-Dwellers. The SD43 has its own merits (I bought one) but is nonetheless a clear non orthodox departure from a classic line. Not good nor bad, just different.
Good idea to put the rubber strap. I was about to do the same with my SD43 but there's no pin and buckle option yet so I'll wait. My Planet Ocean 2500 is also my only diver on rubber at the moment so another rubber option is totally cool as PO and SD look different enough (very different dial to case proportion).
I would love to see a side by side review of the SD4K vs. SD43. That would be terrific.
Thanks again for your video and for sharing your passion with us.
Absolutely- the Sea Dweller 116600 SD4K is the best sport model ever made
This guy has the most unworn, safe queen collection of watches ever. Nice for us to enjoy at least on here.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few months. You sir, have a very well rounded and very high end collection. You obviously work hard and hard work should be rewarded. Please keep the video reviews. They are good quality and appreciate the professional approach!
Definitely would look great on that rubber strap imo! Another great video btw can’t wait for the next 1! 👍
Fabulous watch indeed had my sd4000 since April 2018 and absolutely love it very underrated. No cyclops is very clean touch too personal choice sits very nice one wrist been worn daily never found a problem.
Just got this watch yesterday. Wonderful review of a fantastic watch! Rolex did such a great job making this it’s own piece, separate from the Submariner. Love your reviews!
I was wondering if you still had this piece in your collection. In fact I discussed about it with my brother earlier this week. I think this 40mm SD is the best of the SD line. The SD 43 can go as deep as this one, so it makes no sense to me to have a bigger watch that can do the same thing, as the 40mm model wears better for day to day use. The deepsea models, especially the D-blue, look cool but they are too big to wear (for me at least, it's better for people with big wrists).
If I could choose, I would take this 40mm SD over the other ones. I prefer the bracelet, but if you want to switch it up a bit in your collection, the black strap would suit it very well!
As far as the name on the card goes, I get it. But as it's a discontinued model it adds to the story and we can't alter the past.
Yes a SD43 vs SD4k comparison will be great !
What a great start to the day, a new LWC vid 😊...
Just found the channel and i have had a recent facination with watches, and im glad im not the only Londner with that kind of hobby.
I have the sd4k. I think it'll be a classic watch due to its short run. Please do the comparison video with 43mm. Ty
That'll be a keeper for me. Yes, it is very similar to a sub, but the lack of a cyclops kind of gives it an identity of its own. I've a 116610LN sub and my biggest gripe about it is the cyclops. Off topic, but in my wishful thinking, I wish Rolex would make a dateless Yacht-Master. That'd be handsome.
This is a must have watch for a Rolex enthusiast...great review as well...
The SD4K is a great watch but I feel like maybe it was a mistake for you especially getting paying extra for stickers since you already have the SD43, the JC and Submariners as well. I just don’t see you wearing this one more than the SD43.
But I totally understand that this becomes an addiction for us and it’s hard to resist getting a new watch! I think you have amassed an excellent collection and should slow down a little bit otherwise you will run out of watches to look forward to! Also who knows what Rolex will introduce at Basel this year and next. It’s almost guaranteed that they will release another must have steel Rolex.
Also what do you think of the new Royal Oak 15500st? This is now the replacement for the excellent 15400st with new movement and new dial. The rotor has changed, they added minute track and removed the Automatic print from the dial.
I think this is the best rolex diver
Hello are u still enjoying your 116600, any thoughts after wearing it for some time, my Rolex AD has the submariner no date, your impression on wearing both, thickness etc
Nice video as always!!
Rare bird for collectors and supertool diver piece. OK for non-beach casual although already a bit big. No go for formal or office. And top piece for beach, pool, holidays. This means about 30 days wear per year. And if you have 2 big divers, then it's about 15 days a year max.
I wish I had your funds. I would have kept my SD4000 and my Pelagos but I needed the money so i sold both and got a ND SubC. Love the SubC but the SD4000 is a special piece. Wear with the bracelet and enjoy!!!
Do a comparison with this and the submariner.
great to have you back. made my saturday! great watch. always felt that rubber watches cheapened the watch. im looking for one myself.
For sure try the rubber strap. I also think maybe try other colors besides black. But that really come down to your personal style.
Great piece. I have all of the current Rolex diving watches in my collection (2018 Deepsea James Cameron, 50th Anniversary Sea-Dweller 43mm, and Submariner "Hulk"), but now I'm looking to add something like this. I love this watch!
damachine3 no doubt buddy you’ve a great collection of timepiece, seen all your RUclips videos and they were fantastic.
@@timeisprecious2739 Thanks, bud!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Great content 👍
I will keep this one - this is the last true sea dweller- the new SD43 is a fashioned follower designed
100 percent correct rod and the 116600 has a higher value than the 126600 now. Says it all👏
I've got mine on a black Everest strap and it's perfect. Wears smaller than my Submariner. Enjoy!
Congratulations For your chanel! A my curiosity ... but do you user in your every day these your fantastic watches or are only for the collection? Or which is your watch do you use every day ? 🙂
Congrats on the new addition ! Sweet piece for sure
Thank you for a great review and looking forward to the follow up video, please do a comparison of the 2 Sea-Dwellers.
Amazing video keep it up just all around great content
Hi can you do an unboxing and review of the Longines HydroConquest please, they both 39mm and 41mm sizes. Thanks!
Yes agreed it is a big watch but in the wrist shot it looks great on your wrist and with the rubber strap i think it pops keep it and enjoy.
I understand the OCD of having your name on the guarantee card it just makes the watch more yours and enjoying the whole experience of buying from the AD .
9:29 your Aquanaut Travel Time is on rubber as well though, right? I hope you still have that! I wouldn’t let go of my 5167 for anything! Great vids, keep up the good work :P
please do the following video. the watch looks insane on the rubber strap!!!
Hi!! Sorry for the random question completely unrelatable to the Rolex subject, but would you kindly tell me which music you’re using in this video? Thank u so much!!
Exactly! Good taste
Definitely fits the look on the rubber strap!
Being a Rolex collector what’s your opinion on the Rolex Milgauss?
Ive been thinking about it but I’m also inclined towards the air king.
I don't like the Milgauss and neither do many. If I were you I'd look the Oyster Perpetual line. It's not an Air King and neither is so polished like a Milgauss
Each collection should be unique... every watch collector has his preferences, in my personal opinion each collection should have a rubber strap if it’s on an aquanaut or if it’s on a sea dweller it shouldn’t matter as long as it adds some sort of value to your personal perception!
Since you own an Aquanaut, which is on a rubber strap, you can keep this on bracelet
I'm flip flopping between this and a hulk for my next purchase. Curious to see what you end up doing.
Look nice on rubber strap, n since sea dweller no longer in production, n u bought this unit brand new, I would suggest u to keep it
Very nice video Sir! But I have certain feeling that you are not sure if that watch would have a chance to stay longer in your collection. But for sure it will be replaced by something spectacular :) I am quite curious what are your feelings about brands like A.Lange? Maybe you should try something like Tudor GMT, which in my opinion is a great piece of a watch :) I know that you have great taste of watches, but have you considered trying other brands than Rolexlike giants?
If you kept this SD4K and didn’t wear it, an unworn stickered Fullset is $18k+
The rubber strap is a must 👍🏼
Fellow sd4k owner; would love to see some leather band options for this sd as well.
Btw may I know the name of the music you board cast in all of your video?
This size is way too perfect for the new sea dweller to exist
Can you do a video on watch winders and your view on them please. Keep up the videos they are amazing and inspiring
Have you kept it or sold it?
Im inspired by your videoss and watch collection. My current lineup: hulk,batman,superman and no date sub. next one will probably be a daytona.
Which watch is call superman?
NO Rubber....
Enjoy your weekend....
mrg1911 This could be taken in a conpletely different way :)
Martin C. Haha! Now that I read it again....
Honestly I don’t like the sea dweller as much as I like the submariner. But on a rubber strap the watch looks great .👍🏼
Hi, yes please do a follow up video on this Watch.
Great video!
Amazing. Lovely video. Thanks.
The last AP in this video caught my attention rather then the rolex.
Nice and interesting video! If you want to keept the watch, I would put it on the rubber strap. But to be honest: you own the deep sea and submariner, so what do you want with the sea dweller? even the gmt watches are resembling too much to those diving watches if you ask me.
I would rather sell them and buy a greater variety of timepieces, such as Breguet, A.Lange, Blancpain....so many outstanding watch models out there, it has not to be Rolex!
How are u able to afford all these luxury time pieces. Id love to know what you do to get all the money tell me lol I’m addicted to watches to.
I had submariners, that were too small, then got the deep sea that was too tick, change for the 116600 was ok but too small, now got the 126600 that is great, I m thinking to get the new sub 126610
whats the difference between this and submariner?
Awesome videos
Nice watch
I am not sure if on the rubber strap will looks nice
Sub ... Killer!
But a grand seiko spring drive. :)
I think the watch police should come and arrest you if you take that watch off its bracelet!!
My reaction to a rubber strap is "yuck," but then that's subjective and personal.
Where's your Patreon?
I totally get the thing about not wanting a Rolex with another person's name on the card. I would also have weird issues with this. I suppose it might be different if it had belonged to some celebrity or sports star that I admired - just maybe. But all things being equal I want to be the name on the card!
agree with you, especially when you pay 10k
I love this watch but it feels like you’re not passionate about it. I am happy to see it on a rubber strap and curious how you’ll feel about it. However, don’t force yourself into a watch. Good luck!
Sorry but it looks like a Submariner on steroids...Looked good on your wrist though and have a strong feeling it would look better on the rubber strap...you should definitely do a follow up and show us how it looks on the rubber strap....Also waiting for the review of the metal square from Gshock....
❤
Everestbands.com has nice rubber straps which are seen as the best aftermarket Rolex straps in the game i would check them out!
nvm i didn't watch the whole video you already bought them haha
Привет братка! А можешь подарить мне одни часы, буду очень благодарен тебе от души 😊
Sell the SD43 better / the SD4K is the one to keep
My personal thoughts Rolex without a cyclops doesn’t feel like a Rolex, great watch but still prefer the new sea dweller 50th anniversary. As always LWC another great review.
I just have to say this: “Superlative” is pronounced ‘sue-pearl-a-tiv.” Not “super-lay-tiv.” Love the content, it’s just some of the mispronunciations drive my OCD wild lol
Michael Fleming found the dickhead
Do not sell it!
First again
What a bad payek phillpe
I hate wearing rubber straps. I don’t care how good they’re claimed to be. It feels unnatural and throws the whole watch off balance.
Sell it... I'll take it for $7000
Not a SD fan
more show less talk ,thanks
Nice Watch but The 16600 Is much Better ,more elegant and fascinating imho . This Is to bling bling ,like all the new Rolex
Less bling due to matte dial I think, but the ceramic bezel might give it bling factor
The watch itself looks great on a rubber strap, Its the clasp I think looks ridiculous.
So, Why not try a black & grey NATO strap ? Not the most original but, Sporty.
I like it very much but I personally don't ever put any rubber on a Rolex
