The body-built submariner but in a contained format
For several years I have regretted having sold my Sub 14060 but I found it a little strange to buy the same reference for a higher price. I then became interested in the Sea-Dweller, with an aesthetic close to the Sub but with even more impressive performances, while remaining on the same format. I finally found the 16600 that I was looking for, in a condition close to new (although this one is almost 20 years old). I find that it combines robustness and elegance to perfection.
