This watch will prove to be more collectable and even more valuable than many of the crazy priced Daytonas! Rolex's most iconic watch to date

[hughmcneillie]

Once you have worn this watch you won't be able to look at the smaller diameter Rolex models. The beast!

[sigmachi]

I just got the 136660 after owning the 126660 for a year. The improvements are subtle but definitely make it even more beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous

[jon.steele]

It's the watch that would take big chunks out of your door frame, rather than scratch. The dial is a thing of real beauty.

[edwardfrench]

Great detail as always Damian. Thank you for sharing this with us. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening.

You just convinced me to add this one to my "want to add to collection someday" list. Love your videos, a nice distraction as i am an Army officer and currently serving a tour in a UN peace keeping mission. Keep it coming!

[jeffprest]

I just picked this watch up today! Love it, my first Rolex.

[macrolex]

My 1st Rolex was the 126660 and remains my favourite too Damien 👍🙂

[kev-the-windsurfer.]

I wear a 116660 Deep Sea black face most days, I love it, definitely takes a few days to understand how to wear it and get used to the feel, but once you do, its a super nice piece!!

[harleyrider]

I love that on the list and have a stack of hundreds ready for the call!

[essexwatchenthusiast]

Like you I am more attached to the madness of my mk1 rather than my Mk2.
Incredible engineering, this watch really is a must in any Rolex collection.

[xbr]

Bought a new sub in 2016 and sold it again in 2017 to buy the Deepsea Blue. I have never regretted it. I love this watch and wear it every day. For me the best Diver on this planet.

[TRman]

Have you considered making a video of how you maintain your watch collection?
Things such as do you have dozens of watch winders? Do you rotate the usage of each watch? How do you remember which watches need servicing etc?

[sweeney]

Great video. I own this watch and love it, but you're misrepresenting the watch's capabilities a bit. It will not survive to the bottom of the Mariana trench, which is over three times this watch's depth rating. Cameron having it on his wrist inside the submersible does not subject it to that pressure, as he would have been dead. He could have been wearing a Patek dress watch in there and it would have been fine. The DeepSea Challenge definitely can survive those pressures, but too bad we can't purchase it.

One of my all time favorites in the Rolex line …

[kenvance]

I recently purchased a JC 126660. My wife bought me a new Sub 14060 in 1990 and I wanted to add another Rolex this year. I considered a used SD 4000 but it looks quite similar to my current Sub. I decided to go for the new JC. The writing around the ring looks very prominent in pictures, but is not as noticeable when you wear the watch.

[Jgibbs]

Just got it today after a two day wait lucked out for sure and def happy with it

[ashfishpool]

It’s a beast of a watch but doesn’t feel massive - I love my one, it wears beautifully and the dial is just awesome

[adomccracken]

I have the 126660-01 (Black DSSD) and love it

[jonathansmith]
