I have a D-Blue. But as can be seen from the previous photos. The black Deepsea looks amazing on all red or all black Rubber B as the dial pops. On these occasions I miss the all black I had, no other Rolex looks this good on rubber.
Great photo.

thank you very much Rashid, I totally agree with you,i went with the Velcro strap, but I have to say that the D-Blue dial is beautiful too,i love the contrast of the dial from blue to black It will also look perfect with a blue or black strap, mine is from the old batch 2008 :):)

Your watches look amazing on Rubber B. Thank you for all the images.
I am impatiently waiting for Rubber to release a Rubber B for the 126660. They said spring 2019...but I have a feeling it will be later. They still haven't even released a buckle strap for the SD43. So that's not a good sign. :(

The words 'Ring Lock System' have a completely different font to the 116660.

The 'R' 'G' 'K' & 'S' are the most obvious, but if you look closely you will see all the letters have changed.

Also the 'ft' on the rear is slightly different.

Previously the cross line went right through the main stick of the letter whereas now in the 126660 it doesn't.

Take a look at the below pics for reference.

Thanks
