Incoming (The Beast)

Drove 4 hours today to Dallas and I’m camped up in a hotel for the night so I can meet the seller of my new TT Sea-Dweller aka (The Beast) first thing in the morning at my bank. This will be my 5th Rolex and by far the nicest one I have ever owned. After owning a 116613ln years ago and flipping it I swore I would never own a two tone watch again unless it was the bluesy. But after comparing the Beast to the Bluesy on Saturday at a grey dealer side by the Beast just swallowed Bluesy. Everything from the larger case size and oversize bracelet just overpowers the regular subs. If they ever make a TT Sea dweller in blue it would probably be the end of the TT submariner. The watch really does not wear big like a lot of people say it does it only wears awesome. Honeymoon pics coming in the morning.

I chose the Bluesy over it but it’s a great looking watch for sure. Congrats!

Congrats! Just picked up its SS brother and I was quite surprised of its weight and I wear full PM 90% of the time. With all links and extension its right at 192 grams where as my 126715 is 222

Definitely a beast as you say on the wrist. Wonder what the TT weighs.

Congrats!! Been wearing the 126600 since Friday. Love it

Yes Please I will take it! I drove a couple blocks next door to the Thanksgiving Square because I have much to be thankful for today. These watches do not come easy and definitely feel blessed to own one.
