Thank you Jim!
The Deepsea has always attracted me magically. But every time I tried this piece (first version 116660) I refused because of the much too narrow bracelet and the shape of the lugs. The watch felt very top-heavy and ... unstable and .... yes ... uncomfortable on my wrist.
These and other small flaws have been improved with the 2018 launched successor 126660. Now it fits my wrist much better. I am very close to pull the trigger...
What was your wearing experience?
Best, Thomas
My beloved AD reserved this 126660 for me!
Just arrived and now waiting (hoping?) to become part of my collection. My first impression: this 44mm tool watch doesn’t feel too big on my small but “Panerai-proven” wrist (16,5 - 17 cm). What do you think? Best, Thomas ...
Fits you wrist great
I have the same size wrist and wore one for a while, traded it for something else but liked it a lot...Jim

Yes, my AD is great!
He always puts me on the top of the list if I am interested in something. And I am for sure not the best buying customer... You aren’t distracted by the date window? 😎
Deepsea
Is this the DBlue ? If so go for it for sure. I have the all black version . Like it a lot .
A mega watch!
It looks good on your wrist and if you like it go for it. I have not seen it in real yet but own the SD Anniversay, so I can Imagine it is a mega watch 👍
Thank you. Yes, I think I will go for it.
I also had the chance to try the Sea Dweller 50th anniversary. The Deepsea felt significantly more massive. So the new improvements especially of the bracelet and the lugs are essential for me. Best, Thomas
Thank you, Jari!
Yes, I feel the same. What surprises me. I haven’t expected this. Best, Thomas
Thanks a lot, dear aperna5549!
Yes, I long for it more and more each day. On Wednesday I have an appointment with my AD where I going to make my final decision. Best, Thomas
Yes, I tried both...
the SD Anniversary and the Deepsea. I am thinking of the the new TT-Version and therefore also tried the TT Submariner black dial to get an idea how TT feels. At the end the Deepsea Cameron attracted me the most. Best, Thomas
gorgeous watch !! I have the previous version also blue
really nice and not as big. Just thick but one gets used to it and it is very versatile. Works well on a suit and of course casual too !
Thank you for your feedback, dear christianch!
I was not sure at the beginning because so many watch enthusiasts find this watch too big and bulky. When I tried the new 126660 I didn’t have this feeling at all. Still smaller than a 47mm Panerai (which I wear quite often) and total wearable for me. So ...
Thank you for your comment, agyzace! I tried both.
I have to confess I like the SD Anniversary very much from the pictures I have seen. But in flesh the Deepsea attracted me more. Best, Thomas
Thanks for sharing your experience Thomas!
I personally struggle to take seriously the SD Anniv. as it is clearly a product conceived by marketing researchers with the sole aim to differentiate the product from the Submariner and drive sales, negating its glorious past in the process. The deep sea...
Thank you, Alex,
I definitely share your opinion. And what made/makes me sure with the new Deepsea is, that Rolex seems to have done everything right with the improvements of the successor presented in 2018: The new caliber 3235 with 70 hours PR, the smaller lugs, the wid...
I will try to make some „lug pics“ especially for you
on Wednesday. ☺️ With my iPhone and therefore far away from the always very high quality of your photos. But perhaps it will help you to get a better impression. Best, Thomas
