116660 the only one

Sep 17, 2020,23:00 PM
 

The deep sea born in 2008 is the most innovative diver in Rolex history. I think the 116660 is better than 126660. I prefer the old bracelet.  This is the limit of Rolex, to hope that with every little change its audience follows and is happy. Not for me...

Not being able to pick up my Air King in the south before the end of October, I took advantage of my week in Paris to get myself a little big something to be patient .... it is true that I did not really need something to wait because I have been particul...

Well no ...

Despite the fact I was offered to try both at the same time! Several reasons motivated my choice: - Consistency: The 116660 is complementary to my 114060 and my 116600 ... - Confort : the differences while wearing the 11 and the 12 are not that important ... 

You mean the slimmer lugs of the Amvox ? ;-) [nt]

I could try both recently and would also buy the previous version as well

The slimmer bracelet is a complete winner for me. Enjoy!!! Alex

I agree with your except for mouvements and the sky...

I also prefer the old bracelet, the end links, the global look of the 116660... and the black dial !

Unboxing

Finally, despite its better caliber, I don't like the 126660 ... for different reasons (Lack of consistency with my serial : 114060 and 116600 ; Less attraction for the new end links ; New Oyster is too large for my wrist, Rendering of the watch seems mor...  

Cool! Enjoy. [nt]

I had a 116660 since 2008 and found it to be just fine on my 6"/154mm wrist. Very comfortable. I recently changed to the 126660 only because I really wanted the blue dial, for variety. As you can see, I analyzed this quite intensively. ...  

116660/126660, black dial/JC… all good choices…

Even if I am black dial monomaniac... (Analysis in an Eames chair is probably more efficient, I should try... to be convinced to see life in blue ;-) )

Well there is nothing wrong with those black dials, for sure!

The blue is a bit "riskier," and some people dislike the green printing on the James Cameron, too.

Where do you get that mini Eames chair? [nt]

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : September 26th, 2020-09:04

It's made by Vitra, a Swiss company...

 
 By: CR : September 26th, 2020-19:20
They make 1/6-scale miniatures. Here's their website and my little collection (I got all the minis for the chairs that I also have in full-size versions) -- I put the Vitra shipping box for one of the pieces in the middle. ...  

Thank you! Those are cute. [nt]
