(INCOMING) Think it’s good now :)

Just arrived, and 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!!

You said "trimmed down." Did you have the case modified?

Awesome watch, congrats!

The subtle changes have definitely made a big difference in how it looks/feels on the wrist.

Congratulations! I picked mine up in the week. A friend came with me and was wearing his own, original deepsea. We compared the two and couldn't really tell much difference. However, I didn't actually try his on... I'm glad you're pleased with it. It's a great piece.

Congrats ! A good one, I know.

If I may ask, since I have the 116660 and have never tried the new one on - what is the differece in wearing experience between these two ?
I cannot possibly believe that the new model would be even better than the old one. Bracelet diff is 1 mm and tapering is different ?
