INCOMING 126660 Deep Sea Sea Dweller James Cameron Story

Thanks! I agree...there is just something about the way a domed crystal catches the light. The DSSD, my BB58, my Omega Seamaster 300 and my Omega Speedy Pro are some of my favorites...all have domed crystals. Coincidence? Probably not:)

Agree on all counts! It is a masterpiece and a technological marvel!

Thanks! Happy to be a member...such a great watch.

I know that feeling. No worries...as long as you have the DSSD you are all set!

I saw a Cameron at a restaurant today.

I could only tell that it was a Sea-Dweller across the room.

We were leaving at the same time, so I asked about it.

The owner was kind enough to let me have a couple of glances at it and showed knowledge of the different versions to convince me he was on the up and up.

Always a pleasure to encounter a WIS at unexpected times.

Thanks, Grady...very cool story! It is always fun to meet other WIS in the wild. I have only seen a couple DSSD out in the real world and until this one arrived, I had never actually seen the JC dial in person. I am not sure I have ever seen a picture that truly captures it.

Congrats and welcome. I went back and forth for months - is it too big, is it practical, is the dial too extreme. Then I bought it. Zero regrets and I wear it every single day.

Thanks! I answered those questions as follows: Is it too big? Probably. Is it practical? Probably not. Is the dial too extreme? Nah...I love a pop of color. Should I buy one and keep it forever? Absolutely! There is just nothing else like it on the market.

Congratulations! Can't comment on the SD43 but I have the JC12 and it is a fantastic watch. Agree with your points.

Wear in the best of health

Other great features:
- domed crystal (5mm thick)
- wider fully brushed oyster bracelet
- blue to black fade dial
- 220g weight gives feeling of PM with durability of 904L
- most technical dive watch available for sale to the public
- greatest dive depth rating
- largest trip lock crown for easy manipulation
- no cyclops

Exactly!!!

I’ve read several posts about SD50 discomfort. You’re not alone. I’m glad you found something else that’s better for you.

Thanks, brother! I updated my signature line for you:)

Amazing...post some pics if you get chance!

Congrats.

Love the story and beautiful watch.

Thanks...I agree completely. DSSD is a keeper!

Thanks! Although it has quite the following, I would have to agree that I never really "understood" the hype around the Daytona.

It's funny how TRF works....all these years and I've always respected the DSSD from afar but thought it wasn't for me. Now, thanks to Charles, I'm thinking, the pinnacle of Rolex engineering should be on my wrist.

[rfiorito]

Long live the domed crystal!

[Bladeshot]

Big congrats! That’s a beauty!

Now that’s foreshadowing Would love to see you do it

Congratulations Charles, it’s an awesome reference

[Avs Fan]

Congratulations! I would say the 126660 JC is perfect! It has temporarily ended my desire to add any other sports watch to the collection.

[Michaelvester]

Congratulations and wear in health.

[arosado]

44MM, dial color, and no cyclops ... amazing watch. The biggest size in the Rolex catalog. Congrats!!

[lowmandfl]

Great pickup, I would imagine this one may stay with you. I had similar issues with the SD43, I loved the look but wasn’t that comfortable for me. I much prefer the Deepsea, and good choice on the JC.

[GsurgBM]

Nice watch.

Congrats. That’s just one amazing dial.

[RyanO]

I think when this off the charts dial is no longer in production, people may appreciate it more. It’s got to be one of, if not the most unique steel sports models in production.
