The Sea-Dwellers we buy
- Sea-Dweller 126600 — 43mm, red text, 3235 movement
- Sea-Dweller 126603 — two-tone steel & yellow gold
- Sea-Dweller 116600 (40mm ceramic, 2014–2017)
- Sea-Dweller 16600 (five-digit workhorse)
- Sea-Dweller 16660 “Triple Six”
- Vintage 1665 — Double Red & Great White
- Vintage 1665 COMEX-issued cars
COMEX cars are the grails. A 1665 or 16600 issued to COMEX divers, with provenance, is in a different universe of value — if yours has company markings or papers, tell us before you come in.
Sea-Dweller value: red letters and restraint
The market pays for the words on the dial: two red lines on a 1665 (Double Red) or the single red line on the 126600. Beyond that it is the usual Sea-Dweller discipline — original dial and hands, an unpolished case with its factory bevels, correct helium valve, and a complete bracelet with the diver's extension. The short-run 116600 has its own cult following and prices accordingly.
Sea-Dwellers were bought by working divers, so honest wear is the norm; we price condition fairly and never expect safe-queen perfection on a five-digit car.
Box & papers — they pay more, but they are not required
A full set — inner and outer box, warranty card, booklets, hang tags and links — adds real money to a Sea-Dweller offer, because the next buyer pays for completeness. No box, no papers? We buy it anyway. Our staff authenticate and inspect the watch in-house: the movement, the reference and serial engravings, the dial, hands and bracelet are all checked at the counter, and we price what is in front of us.
Bringing more than the watch? The more you bring in, the more you get — a second watch, the gold chain you never wear, the coins in the drawer. Bundles are priced piece by piece in front of you, and the total is almost always stronger than selling each item separately somewhere else.
Bring a valid photo ID. Sellers and borrowers are 18+ with ID; serial numbers are checked and every transaction is recorded and reported exactly as Massachusetts law requires.
How it works
1. Text photos first. Photos of your Sea-Dweller — dial, case back, clasp, plus the box and papers if you have them — to 857-867-6468. Get a realistic range before you travel.
2. Bring it in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Bring a valid photo ID (18+). Rolex deals are handled in our private VIP room, and we inspect and price the watch at the counter, in front of you.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash on the spot if you sell — or a pawn loan at 3% per month* if you would rather borrow against it and keep it yours.
Why sell your Sea-Dweller here?
Dive shops and generalist buyers quote a Sea-Dweller like a heavy Submariner. The reference premiums — red text, 116600, Double Red — are real money we put in the offer.
Online marketplaces mean weeks of messages, shipping a five-figure watch to a stranger, and real fraud risk on the payment.
At LBC Pawn the watch is inspected at the counter in front of you, the offer is the offer, and you leave with cash the same visit — or with a loan ticket and the watch still yours.
Skip the drive-first guesswork. Text photos of the watch — dial, case back, and the box and papers if you have them — to 857-867-6468 and get a ballpark before you come. Prefer to talk? Call the same number during shop hours.

Questions we hear
- What is the Double Red Sea-Dweller worth?
- A correct, original 1665 Double Red is one of the most valuable vintage divers we handle. Value depends on dial condition, case originality and provenance — bring it in untouched for a real number.
- Do you buy the two-tone Sea-Dweller 126603?
- Yes — priced on reference, condition and gold content. Two-tone Sea-Dwellers have a smaller, steady market and we quote against actual results.
- My Sea-Dweller was actually used for diving. Problem?
- No — that is what it was built for. As long as the dial, hands and case are original, honest dive wear is priced in, not penalized.
- Can I pawn a Sea-Dweller?
- Yes — 3% per month plus the one-time 8% first-month charge, up to 4 months, renewable, stored securely.
