A desire of Rolex Sea Dweller.

Oct 21, 2020,13:10 PM
 

There are few vintage and modern Rolex I am running after, besides the GMT MASTER. The Sea Dweller, or its modern iteration is one of them. 


For the moment, I " only " have the Sea Dweller 16660, which is a strong love affair. 





Now, I am dreaming of a 1665 Double Red Sea Dweller, such as this one ( credit picture: S SONG ), even if I prefer a Mark 2.


And I would gladly end with a modern iteration, such as this 126660, aka James Cameron.  ( Credit Monochrome ).



It would be pretty alluring and exciting to cross the years of this reference. 

Best,

Nicolas

Attraction of 126660 JC vs. 116660 black dial

 
 By: CR : October 24th, 2020-06:14
My attraction to the 126660 JC was all about the blue/black dial color -- specifically that it (a) is beautiful dial (b) would add variety to my collection. Every other Rolex I own has a black dial. I had a 116660 for 12 years and thought it was perfectly... 

Not sure about in Europe, but in the US I believe wait time for the 126660 JC is relatively short...

Maybe a few months. I understand this isn't a popular watch compared to the other sports models. That makes sense, given the unusually large size, the higher price point, and fact that it's not as historic/iconic/well-known as a Sub or a Sea-Dweller. I co... 

The allure for me has always been for the great white. The modern iteration, whilst beautifully made, is just enormous!

Here's one next to a 1950s Tudor Oyster Royal (great uncle perhaps). ...  

How cool, this Tudor! [nt]

Full of excess, therefore a lot of personality

For those days when only a big pam, seiko tuna or deep sea will do. I reckon I would wear mine on a rubberB, the stock bracelet is a bit narrow especially on the previous model.

Completely understandable, my dear friend.

For me the Cameron is one of the best modern Rolex. And in the last version 126660 also very comfortable to wear. In terms of size: still significantly smaller than a 47mm Panerai. 😊 P.S.: With 16.5 - 17cm I have a rather small wrist! ...  

Thanks a lot! [nt]

I know!

Well then... 😊

Then

The Double Red is really something. I am not enamoured with the Cameron. The proportions for me are not right.

I think the 116600 is a future classic for a number of reasons, short run, mat dial and good proportions. R

My Cameron gets plenty of wrist time, very easy to wear...

...and that dial is so very special!

A wristshot, please!

 
 By: MTR : October 22nd, 2020-11:27

As requested...

Ha! Perfect!

Who says that this Cameron is too big?? Best Thomas

Perfecto! [nt]

This is not mine

But belongs to a friend of mine. Naturally I had to try it on my wrist. ...  

Great!

Definitely doesn't look too big for your wrist. Best Thomas

You wear it well! [nt]

With Rolex we have similar tastes, NIco.

 
 By: CR : October 23rd, 2020-18:54
The only vintage Rolex models that interested me enough to purchase were the 1665 DRSD, 1680 Red Sub, and 1675 GMT. And the only modern model is a 126660 JC, which I recently got while selling the older 116660 (purchased in 2008). I LOVE the 126660 and ha...  

Thanks, Tony. [nt]
