Big congratulations!
Oh yeah another victim of the Deepsea elevator.
I've been on it three times and this time it's for keeps. It's still big at times but it's just too good and too special.
I say if you can manage those pm references, then at least the weight won't be an issue, and the balance has been improved with the bracelet and case rework.

Congrats in advance and to the new owners. It looks just as good in black.
I'm impatiently waiting for rubber-b to release a band because Ant's looks so good.

I'm on number 3 as well....Not 100% Sure it is safe for ever, but for all the reasons that have been mentioned - case, bracelet etc.. it is better than the original for sure...

The Rubber B is available for the Deepsea. I'm definitely going to place an order for one as well.

Yes, but not for the 126660. The new case dimensions are different.

First impressions of the 126660
It is just trimmed down enough (lug to lug & end link to end link) to be visually “good” on my wrist this time.
I’ve always loved the watch, loved it for what it was..A BIG WATCH...respected the technology/engineering, loved the looks! It just sat ever so slightly too long, top to bottom...but with the slight lug changes, bracelet change....it’s sitting very comfortably on my wrist...and most important...sitting very comfortably in my minds eye when I look down at it. Yesssssss ....finally!!

Apologies.
You're correct. Rubber B is in the process of making one for the 126660 as I just discovered when I went to make the purchase and was redirected to sign up for the email when it's available. I'd only seen the 126660, but never clicked on it. Thanks for the correction.

It really does suck and when you use tapatalk, photos take a huge quality deficit.

Even after adjusting my photos to TRF maximum size requirements I still get errors for sizing. I have a nice shot of my DSSD that I've already posted, but it came out so small it's worthless to view, so I wanted to re-post it at the maximum size and I just keep getting the same error.

Also not receiving 'first unread post icons' next to my subscribed threads, only emails.

Just noticed something interesting and unusual about the DSSD.
The 60min arrow marker (12:00) on the bezel shows 4sec markers between every 5sec up to the 15min marker (3:00).

From the 15min marker (3:00) up to the 60min arrow (12:00) continues to show only 4sec increments. Interesting. Anybody ever notice this?

Yes because the first 15 mics, I believe this is an ISO requirement. The other second is buried between the marker digits that's why you can see it back at the 55 marker, just eyeball the rest.

The black is getting a second win. I wish I could afford both because it sure looks so good.

I wish I could afford both as well, because the D-Blue is beautiful too! I'm actually on the list at my AD when they get a D-Blue, but I'm not too sure I want to switch? I'll see when the time comes to see it in person.

The D-Blue wins by one thousandth of a second. That close in choosing a winner between these two. It's hard to explain unless you owned the black but it's amazing for a plain black watch.
