New JC Deepsea 126610

Hi all,

Been looking for a my first Rolex for the last three years, every month I go into London and cycle around every Dealer to see if they had anything in the windows. I did occasionally go inside, have been on waitlists for the three years but no joy.

This month my patience paid off, I saw a black Deepsea in a window in Knightsbridge and although not my first choice immediately went inside to purchase, the SA was great and I mentioned I would prefer the JC he told me I could have one within two weeks.... I was reluctant to let the Black Deepsea go but knew the wait would be worth it! (what's another 14 days after 3 years!)

Ten days later I got the call and picked her up, I have 7inch wrists so a larger watch has always been my preference. Feel privilege to be wearing such a fine piece, and can't stop looking at it!

I am now on the waitlist for Black sub date with delivery by Christmas, my Rolex journey has finally began.........

Congrats on a beautiful watch it looks great on you. It's actually a 126660 NOT 126610 and honestly I would bypass a sub, especially a black one if you can pull off and are happy with a DSSD or SD43. So many other directions and watches even if you stick to Rolex like a DJ, GMT, EXP which all compliment a Rolex diving watch very well.

Excellent choice, the most capable dive watch in the world! Congrats. The 126610 new sub is also excellent. Love them both.

Nice. Very good design, but too bulky for me. Still love to see it for what it represent, and also love to see so much 904L polished. Flanks are like a telescope mirror!
