Picked mine up at AD 2 weeks ago. Love the fact on the new ones it doesn't say "Sea'Dweller" anymore-- just says "Deepsea" on bottom now-- makes the dial less busy with less words.
You have huge wrist Jonathan so I would imagine this looks great on your wrist. I found this at an AD while on a business visit to Sao Paulo and found it humongous on my near 7 inch wrist. The regular SD is about the biggest I can do with my wrist.
This watch is fantastic; perhaps the most technically and horologically exquisite diver ever made. But it’s big and bulky. If only Rolex made a diver, with helium escape valve, that is 2mm thinner, 1mm smaller in case diameter, lighter, and better proportioned for daily wear....
I don't want to sound pedantic. The Sea Dweller and Deepsea are designed for saturation driving. The diver lives in a pressured chamber for about a month, breathing mixed gas's which includes helium.. During this time the helium gas gradually penatrates the watchs case. Because the watches are sealed as the pressure in the saturation dive chamber is reduced over a period of a week on the assent the helium gas begins to expands in the watch case due to the reduced preasure as the watches are brought back to surface preasure. If it wasn't for the helium escape valve allowing the expanding helium gas to escape, the watches would explode from within. Rolex really didn't need to build a watch ,to go to a depth of 12000 feet it did it because it can.and it had beat Breitling and Seiko Professional dive watches. I love the domed glass Andrew the design. But the watch looks way to big on my wrist unfortunately.

Great video, as always. Off to collect my DS 126660 on Thursday from my AD. Can’t wait.
Thank you. Enjoy it!
I have the DS, JC. Once you get a good fit it feels great. And a lot of people notice how good it looks.
I heard rolex stopped making the sand blasted back where the crown is underneath the clasp and now they are shiny. Is this true?
Fantastic review - very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you
Mine needs to be fixed the numbers on the bezel have turned black it’s not right
FAKE
Going to pick mine 126660 BL tomorrow.
Enjoy. A cracking watch!

I know this video is old but I was just offered this watch. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a watch I wanted just due to its thickness. But it is nice.
Love Rolex ♥️
I love my rolex
I want that ⌚️ watch!!!
Love Rolex deepsea
Especially 126660
Have a deep blue
It s a shame you put no effort into the wrist shots...
Took over 5 mins to take out of the box????
Good watch rare they made only a few about 20
20,000 I assume you mean , there’s certainly more than 20
MY WATCH❤

Then you should look at the 126600 reference Sea Dweller 50th Anniversary.
