Rolex DeepSea..
Anyone notice Rolex had updated and change the back of the case.. the titanium block is now much more “exposed” compared to first generation DeepSea 116660 compared to the latest 136660. Anyone here own a 126660? Care to share a photo of the case back? .. or are my eyes playing trick on me??
