·Nice chamfers. Guess year 1999 to 2007 as no lug holes and no tritium. Bezel would be aluminum and maybe faded with time.

·Looks good to me, the bezel fade is weird so soon but I guess it can happen.

·I believe so but there is an overlap as you could find watches with lug holes in stored after 2004.

·I’m requesting more photos...thank you gents.
I have yet to see a faded bezel like this for a relatively new model.
The case and bracelet looks far newer than its faded bezel, which looks cool as hell, but I’m curious if it’s original, or period correct.

·It’s a F serial, puts it in 2004-2005.
there’s a “T” after “16600”
I learned something new:
“Every Rolex professional watch, not just the Sea Dweller, has a T on the case if it was once a lug through-hole model that was changed to a blind-hole case.
The T stands for Trou Borgne, french for blind hole - French is Rolex native language.
Generally you do not see the T on paperwork.”

·Not sure about your bezel, perhaps a corrosive cleaning agent?
