Which one would you rather....

16600 in perfect, unpolished, full kit condition or a new DSSD 126660? Wrist size not an issue.

126660 DSSD all the way,

Bigger, bolder, nicer looking , better power reserve and grabs attention

As long as you can pull it off, the thickness might be a problem, was for me
but, I did enjoy it for over 3 years (116600)

I heard the lume is much better on these newer DSSDs, that was one thing I hated about mine, crappy lume!

Can’t speak to the lume on the older model, but the new one looks perfect to me - bright, clean, blue and long-lasting.

Wrist size no issue, then I'd say 126660 DSSD

If my chicken wrists could pull it off, I’d love a Deepsea. It’s just an incredible engineering achievement.

5-digits were meant to be tool watches, 6-digits come across as jewelry, so 16600 for sure. Unpolished is a must.

All are “jewelry” nowadays. But, the 126660 is the most capable jewelry there is. :)

Tough for me to turn down a classic SD with lug holes.

I've been told by some that the dssd is not comfortable to wear, so try before you buy.
