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
Never impressed by a Daytona
Looks like a ladies watch@@RootBeerGMT
@@RootBeerGMT Daytona is to small. Correct size for women but to small for men.
Once you have worn this watch you won't be able to look at the smaller diameter Rolex models. The beast!
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
I just got the 136660 and LOVE it
@@yatinkheti2427 how much did you pay for it? i would like to get one but waiting list is huge
@@davyrao Got it at retail for like 15k
â @@davyrao I have the 136660 got it at retail ÂŁ12210, 5 years 3 months on the waiting list
â@raystewart365 when was this?
My 1st Rolex was the 126660 and remains my favourite too Damien đđ
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.
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!!
I just picked this watch up today! Love it, my first Rolex.
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!
Thank you for your service, Martin. I hope your tour isnât too long. Thanks for watching.
@@TheWatchGuysTV 7 months down, 5 to go, luckily i also have Thecarguys to watch;)
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.
Good choice!
@@TheWatchGuysTV why did you erase your 5711 green video? đ€đ€đ€đ€ did patek told you to bring it down? đ€đ€
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.
Definitely
One of my all time favorites in the Rolex line âŠ
WARNING: For me, I own the black dial 126660 Deep Sea and love it! One thing about it, once I tried it on - it has ruined the Submariner and smaller watches for me, they seem like children's toys after wearing the Deep Sea. It's like a tank wearing a tuxedo, extremely tough and classy!!! Enjoy!
I know what you mean
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.
I agree Ken - the ring lock dominates in pictures but quite discreet in reality - a fantastic watch đđ
Just got it today after a two day wait lucked out for sure and def happy with it
Great detail as always Damian. Thank you for sharing this with us. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening.
Glad you enjoyed it
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?
I'm pretty sure even I would fall asleep during that one đ
I love that watch.......I'm on the list and have a stack of hundreds ready for the call!
Itâs a beast of a watch but doesnât feel massive - I love my one, it wears beautifully and the dial is just awesome
Agreed. Feel the same about mine.
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.
Fair point
I have the 126660-01 (Black DSSD) and love it
I'm a big guy and my 126660 JC sits on my wrist like a 36mm would on most people lol.... plenty of wrist real estate remaining ... :-) ..... it is truly a stunning watch !!
On January 23, 1960 Swiss Jacques Piccard had put a Rolex Deep Sea special on the outside of the batyscaphe and this Rolex prototype survived the adventure!
Jacques Piccard always wore a personal Rolex Submariner wristwatch. So far only 5 people visited that deepest spot on Earth:
2012, March 16: James Cameron wearing a Rolex DeepSea Challenge Sea Dweller wristwatch and another outside his Kawasaki green colored Deep submersible " Deep Sea Challenger "
2019, April 28: Victor Vescovo reached the deepest point onboard DSV Limiting Factor wearing an Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep
2020, June 7: Again Victor Vescovo who was joined by veteran NASA astronaut Kathryn Sullivan to dive to the deepest point on Earth. Their DSV - Deep Submergence Vehicle had Omega logos on the side and Vescovo wore an Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep
My 126660 dblue gets more wrist time than my sub and gmt. Its just a special piece and very unique and top of the range made by rolex. Yes it is thick and big but there's a reason for that due to its depth rating.
I am delighted to encounter this variant of TheCarGuys. Damien's observations are valuable, but I have begun to miss the other guy's perspective--I can no longer recall his name, but he seems more compatible with my Toyota budget. On the subject of Sea Dwellers, how about lobbying Rolex to offer the Deap Sea Challenge? That would be a really memorable tool watch even if it would have to worn on the outside of a sleeve.
Appreciate the history. Every watch expert that reviews this watch talks about the deep sea, and the depth one can dive with the watch. Letâs face it, most people who own this watch are not driving into the deep seađ.
Damian, great review. I just got the 136660 and I love it! Guys like us could pull off this watch because we have man-sized wrists.
Absolutely :)
Thoughts on the Tudor North Flag Damien? Iâve always been drawn to this model and picking one up tomorrow. As itâs now discontinued I rang/emailed Tudor ADâs all over the UK hoping to find one still in stock. Eventually I found a new one on the bracelet - an unexpected bonus was a 15% discount when the AD owner noticed a tiny mark on the bezel đđ
beast of a watch⊠40mm doesnât do it to me, this is great
Just got the very classic styled and chunky deep sea sea dweller, prefer the black dial with small white writing, its a date and delivers much more than i expected, I got it brand new and took the stickers off myself when i picked it up, love it
Just today I have been to Laings Southampton and bought my wife a Datejust, whilst there I ordered a Sea Dweller. Iâm now wondering if Iâve ordered the wrong watch!! Brilliant and very informative as usual. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Lawrence
Itâs a amazing watch but I could never make myself pay 20000 dollars for a watch unless I had just ridiculous money
That watch is absolutely bonkers.... and I kinda love it. Great episode, Damian.
Thanks, Jan
Lovely watch! A little heavy on writing all over the dial / Rehaut but still awesome! A watch that you can trust in fairly extreme conditions!
Now I want one after watching that review. I had tried on the Standard Deep Sea but that's really special.
It really is.
not a huge Rolex fan but really love this one.
just wondering if you have your eye on any of the new Tudors, Black Bay 925 or reverse Panda?
Thanks for the fun video. I have an option on a 2021 newer model and I agree with all of your points. I had the SD 43, but the Deepsea is more comfortable (at least on my wrist). And you are right, the newer model is more balanced and more comfortable.
Good choice!
Itâs a big heavy watch. You know you have it on. I wear mine daily.
good video, good breakdown . * I just brought the D-BLUE home from the AD this afternoon. - it is a beast. ~ JDS/CT
I have this Rolex and the presentation is remarkable.
Thank you for this video. I can afford to buy one of these but to be honest I'd be very nervous wearing it while out and about due to the high crime rate in the UK these days.
You just need to be careful where you wear it, but it shouldn't deter you completely.
Question. I want to buy a James Cameron watch but after seeing the video, it seems that the 11660 is the one to go for in stead of,12660. What is your suggestion ?
As mentioned there isnât a clear winner. The latest is a better watch, but I prefer the original
Loved the Saudi Arabia gagđ
Superb time piece, love the blue graduation to black. I will have to make do with my Hulk
I love the whole story of this watch I love the James Cameron story great episode Damien congrats on a lovely watch very nice
Are you alright? Hope to see your new vids.
I love the wear and tear that your 116660 shows-you really love wearing that watch!
Hi, donât know if I missed a message, just checking if youâre ok, missing your videos for last 2 weeks, assume youâre polishing your new 5711 so will await the next upload.
Back this Sunday đ
@@TheWatchGuysTV Excellent news!!
Tried one of these on. Finally a watch thickness thatâs as thick as the diameter abs you can still duct tape to a cavernous seeking deep sea submersible! Only Poseidon would be worthy....
The coolest sports watch Rolex make.
Deffo
Hey đ€Ź I have my two tone SeaDweller that I love, Iâm glad Rolex did options for us bigger size fellas, I donât like the smaller cousin the Submariner donât like the small look on my wrist and frame.
đđđđ
What a magnificent beast of a watch đđ»
Yes it is
this is no daily wearer - but as a collectible, it has the most $ upside of any standard rolex
I just bought one yesterday. This can absolutely be a everyday wear watch, especially if you are big boned.
Jean-Luc Picard đ€Ł
The James Cameron SD is amazing. Just not practical for my needs. Wish they had a sub with that dial.
No it did not go on the sub as much it was a challenger deepsea which was much bigger thicker only 3 made
This is more like it Damian !! Brilliant video!! Thanks for your details and research into the watch welldone !!
Much appreciated!
I've got the JC 126660 great watch I have a bracelet size of 215mm and can fit a watch up to 50mm with no problems I wish I could get a Rolex challenge as I'm one of the small number of people it would look great on my rist but Rolex won't put me on the list to buy it (I've tried) .
100% my favourite CZcams I Kid You Not.. đ€Ł
Thank you so very much for making such great videos.
You're welcome, James
I find it incredible people donât actually wear these heavy duty watches and instead keep them in a box hidden away somewhere !
Great video. Pick mine up tomorrow.
Good choice!
noticed james got the watch on his right wrist ? must be a left hander or just such a huge thick watch only right arm able to support it ?
Without a doubt my âgrail watchâ I have a Breitling Seawolf Avenger ti and feel it is very much the a deep sea wannabe đ I will probably never be able to afford a Rolex but the dream is real.
I am in love with this watch!!
Get 1
I have the black version and I love both. its gonna be a cool collectible since the 126660 is now only been made for only 5 years. I wear and keep all my watches which is also why I am very particular about any future watch I may or may not buy. Hey, great channel and keep up the great work! Cheers!
Thanks
Thanks for your lovely talk as always đwell done
My pleasure đ
Hey Demian great video like always. I love my Deep Blue Mark 2 as well and its a keeper in my Rolex collection.
Good choice!
@@TheWatchGuysTV YO ! Why did you erase the green 5711 video? ... fake? đ€
My dream watch
Brilliant video & liked all the commentary and the background effects and other photos were a great touch. Super lucky I happened to get offered one by my AD!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love that Ferrier, wasn't the hidden toubillion his first steel?
Different class video as always Damian!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous watch I have one in my small collection âïž
Good choice!
This watch may have gone up in value due to the recent submarine implosion near the titanic. It got a lot of media attention I believe. I might pick one up sometime imo
what happened? where is Damian? Was the Olive Green Patek the ultimate grail and now the show is over?
Great review!
Thanks!
Love it!
Another great video Damian
Glad you enjoyed it
Rolex Armored Tank, hade it on my wrist a week ago from my AD! Would have bought it, on the wrist itâs too excessive!
The Rambo of diver watches.
Agreed đ
Great vlog great watch enjoy
Thanks so much
Yes....
Beautiful what a watch my dream watch ...
It really is!
This is good story watches to be worn,enjoy that
Great review
Thanks
Love mine
3900 Meter depth is nowhere near 3 tons of pressureâŠ.
The bracelet is too narrow on the original
Nice video!!
Thanks!
Any chance you would swap it for my Casio g shock. Itâs a good deal if you want it.
đ
The question Iâve got (the question that I think I think a lot of people will be asking themselves) is whether good old Franses in Bournemouth like Damian _enough_ to give him their single allocation of green 5711?đ€
I passed on this bad boy because I was holding out for another model. Eventually, I'll add it to my collection.
My Grail watch!
Good to have something to aim for
âWould I wear it in the shower? Of course not.â
This makes no sense to me... I bought my sea-dweller specifically to go scuba diving in it. Why buy a watch like this if youâre just going to treat it like a delicate toy? This watch was made to be worn, not babied.
Yes thatâs idiocy of my statement, which is why itâs funny.
This watch is fantastic; perhaps the most technically and horologically exquisite diver ever made. But itâs big and bulky. If only Rolex made a diver, with helium escape valve, that is 2mm thinner, 1mm smaller in case diameter, lighter, and better proportioned for daily wear....
đ
Masterpiece. When you interested in watches, that are so relevant in history of mankind going to extremes, the Moonwatch would be perfect for you. Omega has so nice watches in the line. Specially the vintage Speedmasters are soo beautiful. Do you have some of them in your collection? Cheers!
Yes.
@@TheWatchGuysTV I think Vintage Speedmasters are very underrated and have a quite interesting potential in the future. Maybe you could do an episode about these nice watches? đ đ° đ
Hahhaha shake to the bottom lol funny n so true. Please change your background suggested with fan heart đ
I love it, Rolex is Rolex : unique, do you know that one of the directors of Rolex was ..... British. đđđ
Did You know Rolex was founded in Great Britain but left London because of tax rates in 1915 and settled in Switzerland for good !
Is that a scratch on your Laurent Ferrier? Bottom part of the bezel đ± that was quick sir.
I don't think it is, fortunately.
Hi Damian, I hope youâre well. What happened to your Patek Philippe 5711 olive dial video? This was a worlds 1st. Is your Land Rover Olive green? Itâs got to be done!
Security concerns
Any truth in the rumor that this watch will be discontinued this year?
No-one knows
Loved this episode.. "only the cockroaches and this watch will be around" ... great line. Awesome watch. Thanks for sharing..
Glad you enjoyed it
