I bought my 136660 Deep Sea D-Blue James Cameron last December and I love it. The 13 month wait was worth it and the watch makes my Submariner look dainty!

[holgerkrahmer]

The deepsea d-blue is not a limited edition. It's a misleading message in the movie.

[theprivatecollectors]

Rolex does not do limited editions and the JC version is no exception. There are three references having the deep blue dial since 2014, so production time is quite long already. It’s far from rare and it is probably not a good investment (unless maybe it’s discontinued which is pure speculation).

Sorry but 1 Cameron didn't wear the Deepsea Challenge during his dive, that watch was on the outside of the Deepsea Challenger submariner, on its robotic harms. 2 The watch JC wore INSIDE the submariner, at his wrist, was a Rolex Deepsea 116660 black dial (the only one dial option available at the time), mk2 dial. 3 The D-Blue Dial Rolex Deepsea isn't a limited edition watch at all! 4 James Cameron didn't collaborate with Rolex for the project of the Rolex Sea Dweller Deepsea watch presented at the Basel 2008 show.

Picked up my 136660 from my local AD after a mere 17 days wait from initial consultation to getting it on my wrist; that must be a record!

Very very happy with it and hope to have it in my collection for many years to come.

I own the 126660 d-blue and it's now my daily watch. I love the weight, the size, and the overall beauty (especially in the bright sun). It makes my Daytona Panda and GMT-Master II feel small now. Yes I know the difference between 40mm and 44mm...but it's a matter of how they now feel on my wrist (7 3/4 inches). If you are thinking about purchasing a DSSD, I highly recommend it. And BTW, I could care less about investment value...I brought it to wear and that is what I do. I just HATE to get a scratch on it, especially the side of the case where the helium valve is located. I just love to see that "mirror" finish!

After the no date Sub, it's my favorite Rolex.

[cookingwithwatches]

Deepsea and Bluesy are my two favorite watches

[herjenderlally]

I got mine last year. And it is a beautiful timepiece and i enjoy wearing it.

The D Blue is will only appreciate in value for another new reason. The structurally flawed design of the fatal OceanGate Expedition submersible, The Titan's Titanium Carbon fibre epoxy matrix composite material and 7 inch thick acrylic portal window which catastrophically imploded at the depth of 12500 feet below sea level or Titanic wreckage resting point. Watch Collectors would instantly recognise the engineering marvel of the Rolex DSSD D-Blue Steel and 5.5 cm thick sapphire crystal that not only triumphed over the Titan but the fact that the watch would be only thing that could have survived the implosion

Not the James Cameron, but a 1220m Sea Dweller bought in 1987 for 7 weeks pay as a teacher in Australia. I was interested in canoeing, sailing, bushwalking etc and wanted the toughest, most reliable waterproof watch available at the time as I was going overseas for a few years... there was not the supercharged iconic/cache value back then (which I was not the least bit interested in at he time), as with most things this only came with the 'crazy late '80's. Long story/short, for one reason or another my watch went for 23 years without a service and ran faultlessly during that time, as verified by the previous servicing watchmaker. Here in Australia the servicing watchmakers engrave their initials and the date of servicing somewhere inside the case. I offer this as a testament to the reliability of this model (as if this has not already been established on countless occasions over many years) and I continue to salute the steadfastness of not 'my Rolex' but simply 'my watch'!

I got my JCDS 3 months ago. I love it. It’s my casual watch. I’m already thinking about my next watch which I want to be slightly dressy. I’m leaning toward the 2tone sky dweller black dial. Any suggestions?

[jeandavidian]

It’s worth every single cent. One of a kind and limited edition.

[robertchristie]

I just bought 13660 and it’s beautiful.

[anilmuktavar]

I think it's worth the investment.

[sosaix]

My 126660 is my daily driver and I absolutely love it.

[danedaniels]

I bought one and love it except it’s huge both in diameter and thickness. It also heavy. You know you have it on. You have to be conscious of its size as not to bang it up.

[Legadema]

Which of the 3 models are the most collectable? The last 136600 dont have the drivers extension and the first 116600 was top heavy and limited production, the second 126600 was maybe the best. Is it the 116600?

[cyrussataravalla]

Ma786sai Dua is the 2023 Ref 136660 the same heavy weight of 212 grams as the outgoing Ref 126660? I like the look and feel of this 126660. Is the 2023 Ref 136660 the same?

[amouraviva]

It’s neither rare or a limited edition, definitely not an investment watch. Buy to wear and enjoy for what it is.
