Seadweller Comparison 116600 vs 126600
Hello Fellas,
As soon as I receive my new Seadweller I prepared a detailed comparison with the previous version. There are many updates on the new one and honestly speaking it seems to me the best stainless steel Rolex model. Here are some photos and the link of the review. Thanks for reading : 116600 vs. 126600 |

Great review but for me, the 116600 is still king of the sea dwellers. Thanks

Thanks for your post and review. They need to correct their price on the chart though, they have them reversed.
I agree with you the SD43 is darn near perfect IMO |

I don't know, still looks like an oversized Sub in my eyes, there are things that I like for sure (SEL design, red text detail, even the cyclops) but I hoped they could make it like 42mm, more like the Exp2 size... still like the 116600 more as well

I agree with this, not distinct enough from the Sub, a cool watch nonetheless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think it's an awesome watch , love it, I like big watches and the weight of it ; but in the same token I have to admit that in my eyes the sub and the Daytona are still the signature pieces on the Rolex sport watches line up

Its a very nice piece and a nice review but to call it "The Best SS Rolex" well opinions vary on that subject.

116600
is the only way to go. The new model lacks prospective and is too big for you and most people. I suspect the 126600 will struggle sale wise after the initial pop goes away.

It's a beauty, for sure...would love to see and try one on someday.
But, the best SS model? That's covering a lot of territory right there. |

Let's see my friend. I believe that the number of the production will be important. I also think that Deepsea sales will get effected with this release.

I love the new Seadweller 126600, but I'm 'in love' with my older 116600 and the pics in this review show me why!
The 116600 is the perfect watch, flies under the radar and is pure class. I know when I'm wearing my 126600, but I forget that I'm wearing the 116600. Size is not an issue as I'm 6' 5" and 230lbs - the 116600 is still just wonderful. |
