The Rolex 116600 Sea-Dweller – the legend continues

 

The Rolex Sea-Dweller (not the Deep Sea) has been one of the best-selling Rolex models. It has a professional image and very proper size and weight. Unlike the Submariner, the Sea-Dweller is preferred by professional divers as it is water-resistant to 1200m. As the latest member of the Sea-Dweller family, the 116600 is a must-have for any Rolex collector.

 




Unlike its predecessor 16600, the 116600 has a ceramic bezel on which markers from 0-60 minutes are engraved, just like the bezel of the Deep Sea. It makes the watch look more professional. The lume on the markers and the hands is now Rolex Chromalight which is blue in color and it is stronger than previous luminous materials. At 40mm, the difference between the 116600 and the Submariner 116610 is now more obvious. Other than the bezel markings, the whole watch weighs more and has thicker case and bezel ring. The helium-escape-valve on the 9 o’ clock position is also another feature that differs it from the Sub.

 
 
 

Unlike the Deep Sea, the 116600 has more proper size and weight. On the wrist, it feels very comfortable and you do not have to have big wrists in order to wear the watch well. The cosmetics upgrades are very well done. The watch looks more like a luxurious dive watch now than ever. The Glidelock clasp is included which gives the 116600 a more professional touch. You can adjust the bracelet whenever you want.
 




 
The 116600 is the ultimate diver of choice. You will understand how well-made the Sea-Dweller is if you compare it with other 1200m divers. The Deep Sea is of course an engineering marvel. However, the size and the weight make it hard to a lot of people to wear. The 3900m water-resistant ability is not really needed to, at least, most of us. On the other hand, the 116600’s 1200m water-resistance is just about right. It is not just an ordinary diver with 300m or 600m water-resistance. It is one solid watch to have and wear every day.

Vintage time : Rolex 5513 and why you should buy it over a modern Sub




The Rolex Submariner is perhaps the best-selling and most famous tool watch that has ever been produced. The 5513 is one of the most popular references among the other few. The 5513 was produced between 1962 and 1989. It was one of the best diver in that period as the watch was very simple and easy to maintain. The 5513 is a 200m diver with a lot of dial variations. But, let’s talk about the basics first.
 

 
 



The 5513 is 40mm in diameter and it is a good entry level vintage Rolex. It has a matte dial and no date. It has a domed Plexiglass crystal and tritium markers. Most of the 5513 you can find today have aged markers which are beige in color. A normal 5513 with white dial letters and “feet-first” dial is around 47-50k HKD

 

 



Compared with modern Submariners, the 5513 feels more like a tool watch. It has better curves on the case and there are lug holes. The Maxi dial gives it very good legibility. The fun thing is that you can pair it with different leather straps and watch the watch age. The aluminum bezel insert will fade in color in time to give it a unique look. The dial markers will grow darker in color. It is not cold modern Submariners can compare. You can opt for the gilt dial on which letters on the dial are gold in color if you are willing to pay a premium for the added vintage feeling. The 5513 houses a robust 1530 or 1520 movement which is not COSC certified like that in the 5512. However, as always, Rolex’s workhorses do not fail.

The color game of Rolex – tricks or real aesthetics?



Rolex, as we all know, is very good at playing with colors. The 116610lv “Hulk”, the 116710blnr “Batman” and the 116660 Deep Sea D-Blue are among the best-selling Rolex watches with “special” colors.
 



The Deep Sea D-Blue has the most appealing aesthetics as it has a gradient blue-black dial with sharp green “DEEPSEA” letters. At 44mm, it is a way more attractive watch than the Deep Sea black. However, the price of it is also much higher than the Deep Sea black after discounts. You may end up paying 20k more than the Deep Sea black. But, it is always worth it if you want to wear something special.
 

 



In the world of Rolex, colors seem to represent a kind of prestige. For example, the Platona (Platinum Daytona) has ice blue dial while the Yellow gold Submariner has blue dial and bezel.



 
 


Other choices? The Milgauss Z-blue and the Yacht Master blue dial are not bad if you are into the color blue. Colors come with a price in the world of Rolex. Different colors are also a sign of prestige, meaning that you are not the ordinary man with a ordinary watch.

Rolex Datejust 36mm and Datejust II 41mm




The Rolex Datejust has always been one of the most iconic watches in the entire Rolex collection. It is a very practical watch. Unlike the Day-date, the Datejust is also available in stainless steel and the prices are way more affordable. The best thing about the Datejust is that it comes with precious metal bezels no matter which material you choose.





The 36mm Datejust has been around for many years. It is a very elegant and discrete watch that shines on any occasion. The fluted bezel is a show stopper while the smooth bezel is more understated. The 116234 offers a wide range of dial options. These options include computer dials, diamond markers, mother of pearl dials and some very well-designed ones such as the tuxedo dials. At 36mm, it is the perfect size for formal attire especially with Jubilee bracelet.
 
 

 
 



The 41mm Datejust II Ref.116334 has received some new members this year with Jubilee bracelet in two tone models. The 41mm Datejust II offers bigger dials and therefore is more eye-catching. The whole watch reflects light sharper than the 36mm version and offers you a good option if you find the Datejust to be too formal. However, the 41mm Datejust II does not offer many dial options. It is a pity as the Datejust II can be more successful with more dial options especially those with diamond markers.






Either the 36mm Datejust or the 41mm Datejust II will be a very good choice for you if you are looking for a dress watch with a reasonable price.
 
HKWF can get less 20% off the list price for you with cash deal.
 
Specify your specification and we do get the watch delivered into your home.*

HK Snob's Rolexs' Fantasy

BREXIT, Rolex Price Up, recession and what Shall we do else with the depreciating money?

A UK Friend knows this because he has a banking background. So anyone who has the same experience will or can relate. On a few points. I don't have much gold but like to trade watches for gold coins nowadays rather than money (paper), cuts all the rubbish out.

London Rolex Authorized dealers have already increased it prices on Gold watches 5-8% so in theory we have had price increases throughout this year within 6-9 months. Following on, BOE is yet to raise its rates, the IMF will dry up, eventually. Prime Minister has no obligation to Europe accept its cousins (Royal descendants, aristocrats) typically as business men would say after doing you out of a deal! "Its business"

Now David Cameron has jumped ship! Correct Hilary battle axe will be president and its down hill from there onwards, for those who have stored up so much New pieces, good if you have the capital but only time will tell. "The water bed is drying" which is going to force a harsh decline. I'd rather any 60s-80s YG or WG full gold 14k, 18k watch over a steel any day. At least scrap value has some value to it and if you paid $7k and was to scrap as a worst case scenario you'd gain at least 50% against the weight maybe more to what you paid. But try and do this on today with any of the new watches it will be like trying to resale a diamond stone and we all know you always lose 75% of cost unless it’s flawless, same with exceptional time pieces! However for the average or majority who have thought to invest in newer and over produced pieces, many may be upset with my comment view and they are well within their rights to disagree.

Valuable metals is the global currency always has been has never failed, every countries foundation of economics still believes it to be viable.

Gold will soon increase to $2,000 very soon.

A UK Big Rolex Gold Watch Collector, 28 June 2016

Anyone who has gold 22k 1oz coins in exchange for GOLD WATCHES please contact me and l will notify him!

It is a Chaos when the economic is bad, especially the rich does not want people come to take their food on the plate free… Who knows After Britain, then France, Italy, and Sooner the Big brother Germany will declare to leave EU?

US, yes in the role of world Police, Japan? No, They cannot go back to the tie they were in 80s

Russia and China may tie up into a closer relations to declare brotherhood, China may export more Super Rail, factory sets-up support to countries like Philippines, East European, East Africa, Pakistan, South America.

So at that time another generation of Rich Chinese will have extra money to buy toys…

By 2025 China GDP is same as if no close  to USA, become world No.1  economy System,.

How to spend the money for the Middle Class… buying crazy stuff Like Italian Horse and Bull or luxury watches is a MUST!

UK Collectors' Day Date









 
 
 
Price of a Rolex depends much on the dial especially on Day Date.
 
Onyx is a kind of gem Rolex used to put it as dial on some of the Flag Ship watch in the 80s.
 

Day Date Onyx, Submariner Onyx carries a price 2X to 2.5X 
than an ordinary dial of the same model.
 
Look at these watches, are they rare?
 
Yes they are, The creamy Explorer II is also adorable,
 
For more information, you can Whatsapp me.
