What I'm asked about the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1

What strap size does the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1 take?

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1 needs 20 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1?

Yes, in 20 mm leather, as long as you don't wear it in the water: leather doesn't like the sea or the pool. For days in the water, rubber. On a 40 mm diver I go for a full-thickness strap, not a thin one.

Which strap do you recommend for the Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Matte MK1?

Rubber if you wear it in the water; otherwise a 20 mm calf strap, full thickness. You'll find it ready in the 20 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.

The next step

The right strap isn't chosen. It is built, together.
