Incoming Deepsea JC!
Long time lurker and first time poster.
So after waiting approximately 6 months or so, my AD calls me out of the blue and asks if I am still interested in a 126660 Deepsea JC. So this is the 126660 Deepsea, not the NEW 136660 Deepsea. Apparently the new 136660 has not arrived at any authorized dealer, and the posts in this forum seem to confirm that, but authorized dealers are still receiving the previous/discontinued 126660 model. So this still has the fliplock divers clasp, but is missing slightly bigger date window and date, RLX Titanium not regular titanium, no slimmed down bezel, and no optimized chroma light! You never know but it seems like current consensus is the new model is not necessarily an improvement but maybe even slightly worse. Who knows. So after a very short deliberation I decided I would take it, even though it is the just discontinued JC model. Some people think I am crazy for buying now because they believe I will be able to pick up a Deepsea JC for $9.99 and a pack of gum in a few months on the secondary market due to the end of financial times, while some others believe it will triple in cost next year due to inflation. I don't know what the future watch market holds, I will leave the speculation to others, I am not a flipper or investor, I am just someone who is enjoying looking at the gradient dial of what I think is one of the best models Rolex makes and someone who will wear his watch, and enjoy it nicks and all. Ps. Not a photographer so best pics I have for now. Also 7-1/2 inch wrist size for those who care. |

BIG CONGRATS ! I got mine in May of this year. I actually saw and handled the new 133360 and i have to tell you.... I like the 126660 better. I will tell you why...
I like a heavy watch and the 136660 is 215g VS the 126660 which is 225g. The date window is NOT a big deal. If someone didnt tell you that it was 8% bigger .... you would NEVER know it. I had them side by side and you just cant tell. As far as the slimmer bezel.... again... its hard to tell and really doesn't seem to make any difference in the look of the watch and the overall thickness. Its STILL a VERY thick watch. I LIKE THAT ! I think its a good time to buy what you want and you made the right choice to pick that one. I ADORE mine. Wear yours in good health ! |
