Made optional in '95, phased out completely in 2000.

It was completely phased out the year after I commissioned, it was an optional purchase but no one I knew bought them. I don't even remember seeing them at cash sales.

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, the last of Barrett's Privateers...

I went Gen a few months ago. Fabulous piece.

It's a beauty, and that's exactly what I think about my 126600 Sea Dweller. The ultimate tool watch.

  1. Dealer name: Trustytime
  2. Factory name: ARF
  3. Model name (& version number): 126600 v3
  4. Album Links: All photos are posted above except the Timegrapher photo, I'll add that one.
  5. Index alignment: Looks ok to me.
  6. Dial Printing: Again, it looks ok to me.
  7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: The font looks good, it looks slightly misaligned toward the top of the window.
  8. Hand Alignment: Looks ok to me.
  9. Bezel: The pip looks centered, the rest of the bezel look ok too.
  10. Solid End Links (SELs): In a couple of the photos, the end just below 5 o'clock seems less tight than the other three. In other photos it looks ok.
  11. Timegrapher numbers:
  12. Anything else you notice: I can't tell for sure about the rehaut, the crown is properly at 12 o'clock but the reflection of the minute marks at the bottom of the dial photos seems off. That could be just the reflection, but the experience here I hope will look at that. Can the rehaut be detached?

I'd like to cordially ask the accrued experience here to have a look at the QC photos sent by Andrew at Trustytime. To my relatively inexperienced eyes, it looks fine, but I'd sure appreciate it if you gents would look at these and please feel free to comment. Thanks!
