Great post!
I agree with everything you say. The Deepsea is a wonderful piece of engineering that is unlike any other Rolex and the James Cameron dial really makes it interesting and fun. I look forward to wearing it each time it turn comes around in my rotation (and I find excuses to wear it out of rotation whenever I can).
it’s not that big, it just takes a bit of time to adjust to it if you have been wearing watches of 40mm or less.
Here is the ‘Beast’ picture I posted a few weeks back. I am sure Thomas will be along soon to post some of his great pictures of this Deepsea, which has actually been near water (unlike mine!);

Hello! Been a while.... I wanted to share something I really had not given great thought to. So, over the last 3 years, I have been blessed to acquire 3 Rolexes. A Cameron, a Red 43, and a DJ 41. I love them all. But I rarely wear my Cameron. SO today I s...
What a lovely post!
I enjoy reading these kinds of posts. Where we rediscover a wonderful watch! Just a joy to read Mostel! No worries that you're not a pic guy! I unfortunately don't wear a Cameron, nor own one, because the thing is WAY TOO BIG for my wrists. Maybe if I hav...
Haha!
Thanks Patrick! I also thought it was FAR too big!! But the composition/balance is what makes it so remarkable. But my real 'share' here is how EXOTICALLY different it is from any other Rolex. And it took not wearing it for a good while to really comprehe...

I get it!
For much of the past year, I've had a similar response. I have much nicer (vintage) pieces that I enjoy looking at, but the JC is just a really fun piece to wear. I love the slightly domed crystal, the proportions -- it's both overengineered and just righ...
Oh yes, and it's extremely comfortable on my scrawny 154mm/6" wrist! ..
I had the black-dial 116660 for about 12 years (2008-2020). I hardly ever wore it. It was comfortable, but I'd gravitate towards pieces like the 16660 Sea-Dweller. Then, in 2020, I sold the 116660 black dial and finally got a 126660 JC. Delivery was a fun...
Hello dear Mostel! Thank you so much for this great post written with much passion. I also own a Cameron which I´m currently wearing... and a Red 43 SD which I have never worn and has all stickers and plastics still on..
... Now I would like to know your feelings about the SD 43 in comparison with the Cameron. Doesn´t seem them too close in their measurements, thickness, etc??. .. This doubt motivated me not to wear mine... still! As it happened to you, I bought them abou...
