Spring bars Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 — 20mm drilled lugs
Set of two spring bars for Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 16600 drilled lug version, in hardened Swiss Standard steel. Size: 20mm between the lugs. Pin 1.8mm. Drilled lugs. The 16600 is the Sea-Dweller produced from 1989 to 2008 — drilled lug version for 1989-2003 productions, technical sister of the first-phase 16610 Submariner.
The drilled 16600 maintains the technical tradition of the Sea-Dweller even as it modernises. Drilled lug hole like the 16660 Triple Six that precedes it, 1.8mm pin. The case is thicker than the Submariner, tall sapphire crystal, helium escape valve: but the strap-fitting geometry remains vintage-friendly until 2003. When a client brings in a drilled 16600 for service, these are the spring bars.
The same spring bars on every clients’ drilled lug 16600.

Frequently asked questions
What size are these spring bars?
20mm between the lugs, 1.8mm pins. Sized for the Sea-Dweller 16600 with drilled lugs.
What material are they made of?
Hardened Swiss Standard steel. I keep the hardness high because on a watch this thick the spring bars work quite hard.
Do they also fit the solid lug version?
No. These are for the 16600 with drilled lugs, produced from 1989 to 2003. On the solid version there's no recess, and the fitting is different.
My 16600 is from 2005, will these spring bars still fit?
It depends on the version, not the exact year. The drilled lugs cover production from 1989 to 2003. Bring me the watch if you're unsure, and I'll check the recess myself.
Are these the same spring bars you fit when a customer brings in a 16600 for servicing?
Yes. Same set, same size, for every 16600 with drilled lugs that comes across the bench.
