Hi everyone,
I thought I'd take a quick moment to share my newest addition! I pulled the trigger on a brand new 126660 DSSD J/C. I initially though it would wear too large, but after trying it on a few times at the AD I went ahead and picked one up. I asked them to remove the flip-lock extension and I now use the glide lock for small adjustments rather than remove a link and the fit is excellent for me.
As with most of the owners of this piece, it was the blue to black dial and bright green lettering that sold me. I was able to get it in time to wear it to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin for a motorcycle race this past weekend, so I was surely happy about that. I included some pics!
Thanks for allowing me to share and have a great day!

Amazing watch,looks great on you
Congrats

Congratulations

Great to see you get a 126660. I would’ve thought they’ve all been sold by now.

This^^^

Exactly what I was thinking

Does seem a bit weird after such a long time they are still supplying the old model.

Regardless, congratulations & enjoy for many years to come.

I love mine

I should have clarified. I didn't go through my AD for this purchase. I wanted the 126660 rather than the 136660 and none of my local ADs had access to any obviously.

Fit you well. Great choice. About the diver extension funny everyone complain that in the new one 136660 have been removed BUT in reality no one use it. So funny

CONGRATS! Looks great. I have a 6" wrist and it's very comfortable (despite how big it looks), so you should be fine as far as comfort goes.

My daily and favorite watch! In addition to the dial, love the domed crystal and overall size/fit/feel. Got to drive COTA last year in a street car!

Congratulations, from a fellow Chester County resident (West Chester). What a fantastic watch!

Are you the guy picking up this very watch on Roman Scharf's YouTube channel? Watching it right now actually!

that does look amazing - it's actually growing on me

chalkflewup · 14 September 2023, 09:03 AM

Very nice. This might be next for me as my AD feels he can get me one. I tried it on at a boutique in Venice this summer and love the gradation as well and was surprised that it felt good on my wrist (7 3/8"). Congratulations.

rmlovett1 · 14 September 2023, 09:03 AM

Great watch! Congratulations!

Guppydriver · 14 September 2023, 09:07 AM

That has some serious wrist presence! I love it, great choice.

Did the AD sell you that new or pre-owned? I would have thought all the 126660 were long gone…
