16600 Sea Dweller

Lots of variations in this reference. Lug holes or not. Tritium, Luminova and Super Luminova.

What’s everyone’s favorite configuration? For me it’s one produced towards the end of the 20 year production run.

Really love the tritium dial watches. This for me…29 years old and all the character marks of a watch life well lived, but cared for Image

Hard to go wrong really, but drilled lugs would be my preference.

I love my mine from 2000

Lug holes and trit (as old as possible) or no lug holes and super lum (as new as possible). It's really comes down to that IMO. Do you want a neo vintage watch that combines vintage charm with modern wearability or do you want a pseudo modern watch which still retains the (IMO better) vintage proportions?

You can't really go wrong with either choice.

Pseudo modern was my choice.

Yep. Agree with lug holes if tritium, no lug holes if SL.
