Well no ...
Sep 17, 2020,11:49 AM
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 ... even if the 12 is, I must admit it, a little more pleasant on the wrist.
- End links : I finally prefer the end links of the 116660 ... visually, because I feel that on the 11 the massive side of the watch stands out more.
- Size : The larger bracelet and buckle of the 12 did not please me visually.
- Principe : It is out of the question for me to buy a non discontinued watch from a non AD dealer ...
- My feeling : This 116660 was in a condition that I found excellent for a 2014 model and it is a first hand that runs perfectly, which is moreover full full set (France warranty card, booklets, cosc seal, serial seal, box, on box, on on box and the little bath towel ;-) ), all at a price that I will qualify as very suitable since I took it ...
In short, the new caliber of the 12 did not win out even if it tempted me ...
More pictures tomorrow because I am leaving Paris late due of F ...... strikes .... and will thus arrive at my destination late ...
In addition, it is not yet on my wrist because I have my Amvox I there that I fully enjoy ...
Best

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...

116660 the only one

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.....

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...
Congrats !

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 ;-) )
It's made by Vitra, a Swiss company...

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. ...
