Rolex

It’s not so easy to capture the blue of the dial. This watch is sparkling and shining from every angel...

























Have a great start to the week,

Yes, I love to wear it. My worries that it would be to heavy and bulky on my wrist were without reason. The Cameron wears extremely well. And it‘s still 3mm smaller than some of my Panerais. ☺️

My wrist is between 16,5 and 17 cm.

His golf talent is much higher. Fore sure.

And - also for sure - he has a good taste! 😎

Thanks a lot and all the best,

Thomas

Contrary to all fears it wears really comfortably.

I think this is due to the modifications from the 116660 to its successor 126660. I tried the predecessor a few years ago and the feeling was quite different... At least for me.

Best, Thomas

Really a great win.

In a nutshell: Same watch, different golf talent. 😁

Best, Thomas

This is a great watch. I had the black dial variant before but next to the James Cameron it just didn’t do it for me. Very nice piece!

Yes, indeed, it’s a great watch.
Did you have the 126660 or the 116660 black dial?
And: did you switch to the Cameron?

Best, Thomas

Honestly I removed the diver expression and because my wrist size I never experienced the off balance between the watch case and the bracelet. It was actually very comfortable. I never did get the James Cameron because the price was way too much compared to the black dial!

Interesting!
Did you buy your Deepsea black dial from an authorized AD?
I actually had to pay a small price difference of € 300,00 (like shown on the official Rolex website).

But if I look i.e. at the prices for the small number of Camerons offered at Chrono24, the differences are ... significant.

Best, Thomas

The market was also not insane like it is now. Prices should come down soon. I actually just got a call that my Rolex AD received a lot of supply with their latest shipment. If the trend continues then all these insane prices should stabilize.

I am curious about this development.

Regarding Rolex I think that those fantasy prices are mainly caused by an artificial shortage caused Rolex itself, a greedy grey market and ... some unserious dealers.

I can think also of some brands where the prices are insane right from the start without any of these phenomena.

In any case: hope is the last to die.

I personally have exempted myself from that price insanity and just buy watches when I have the feeling that I get a half-decent equivalent value to the price I have to pay. But I know this is a very subjective approach.

Best, Thomas

I couldn’t get myself to keep it knowing 3 years prior i owned it for a normal price. My dealer took it back and I got a seamaster 300 which I absolutely love. It’s now my daily wearer. With how good Omega is these days I see no reason to shell out premiums for stainless Rolex. I do like them just not double msrp!

Although there is no Omega in my collection so far.

Best, Thomas

on your wrist. Pics are also stunning.

I am also an fan of your Hulk and your GMT II TT.
How much wrist time do they get? ☺️
