The more I read about this deep sea the more I would want it just for the sheer technological advances and its extreme capabilities. Rolex marketing sure is evocative

Here is a bit of a long answer. I have been wearing my JC Deepsea daily for 2 years now. I have a 7-1/4 inch wrist. Yes the watch has some heft, its thick and fairly big at 44mm. I found that when you size it right (and there may be a little trial and error) it fits great. I never found it as top-heavy as others did because of the great fitment. It must be on the snug side but glide lock allows you to loosen it up if you get any swelling or fatigue. I wear a suit and tie to work daily and I have no issue wearing it. It will not slip under most dress cuff. I'm a bigger guy with bigger cuffs so it slide under a few but for most people it wont slide under any shirt. When im not working im very casual and it wear great as well. it wears great with anything but its a big bold watch and will be seen. I was originally worried it may be too big but try before you buy and if unsure think about it and try it on again.

Had my DSSD for 4 years now as a daily watch. Goes every where from business suits to wet suits. Had the black and now the JC.
No issues here.

I have both the black and JC previous generation and find them fine daily wearers.

Have had the 126660 for 5 months. I also have a Daytona RG that I like a lot, but the JC gets majority of wrist time. I don't have huge wrists but am 6'5" w/ medium build so it never feels too large. Plus, with the glidelock you can easily make it fit to your liking. Unrelated to comfort... the blue dial never gets old.

Comparison - about to go out with my wife, so after setting her time and winding, decided to take a couple of pics.
The difference in thickness is massive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Got mine last Wednesday and worn it every day since. You certainly know that you're wearing it though!

it stands out from everything and everyone
for technical qualities and robustness for this reason, wearing it is a privilege and a great emotion

I’ve owned it twice. The Black and the JC. Best dial, just too thick for me in the end. I’m awaiting my SD43, seems to be the best of both worlds between the Sub and DSSD.

A weekend wearer for me, and I have big wrists. To talk and bulky for a suit for me.

Mine gets the most wrist time of all my watches. I wear it (week) daily. Weekends are for PM. I am one of the fortunate ones that doesn’t have to wear a suit. However, for a suit it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Love the colour of the blue in the sun. Mines not a daily bet gets an outing every weekend. Never had any problems with the size and weight.
