For the guys that have this amazing reference; is there room in a collection for both?

Kiddodoc · 3 October 2018, 08:52 AM

Yes, if you love the reference, it is ok to have multiple of the same. Get what you want and don't worry about what we think!

drgoro · 3 October 2018, 08:59 AM

The more potted question is there a big enough difference in daily wearability.

I don't have both but have the 116660 DSSD Blue and the SD43. The new bracelet is definitely wider and seems to make the watch look bigger overall. The original bracelet on the 116610 is thinner but not too thin. I think the difference will be small so if you are looking for a big difference, you won't find it. Some feel the older bracelet was too small. Also the lugs/bracelet area is flush now whereas the 116660 protrudes a bit.

I really don’t believe so. They’re so similar.

I think owning 2 is not needed. I bought the old style DSblue I like the bigger lugs and the thinner bracelet. I figured Rolex first design was all about form following function. The second ref. changed because what buyers wanted. Power reserve means nothing to me, plus I want the old work horse 3135 .

I think that it is duplication and there are a lot of other watches that would be in my lineup before I duplicated a watch.

GsurgBM · 3 October 2018, 11:43 PM

Nah. Too similar. And if you wore the new one you probably would r wear the older one much.

I would't have two similar watches in my collection unless one is a dealer or selling the watches for profit. It's not a mail stamp.

travisb · 4 October 2018, 12:55 AM

Too similar for me.
I sold my 116660 when I got the 126660.

Boaters · 4 October 2018, 01:11 AM

Would be too similar for me.

HK Islandboy · 4 October 2018, 01:16 AM

I wouldn’t own both. I own the 116660 and, much as it pains me to say it, prefer the 126660 - but not enough to go through the hassle of an upgrade

Nikrnic · 4 October 2018, 02:42 AM

Too close foe me to own both, maybe if it were like a 5 vs 6 digit I would. or DSSD vs SD43.

No way

I have the MK I and was offered the MK II by my AD but turned it fine as I live mine so much!
I wouldn’t have both! Waaaaaaaay too similar

Rolex.c6 · 4 October 2018, 04:33 PM

For me I see no reason why. The watches are too much alike. Honestly can not see a reason why to keep a 116660 if I could get a 126660. Maybe only if the first one has sentimental value/memories. I think it's different from someone owning a 5 and 6 digit sub or Seadweller for instance. Those are 'totally different' watches. The only differences (I can tell at least) for the new DSSD are the wider bracelet, the new 32 movement and the tiny crown at 6 on the dial.

Manu74 · 4 October 2018, 04:40 PM

No, they are too similar.

VicLeChic · 4 October 2018, 05:58 PM

the new one would cannibalize the old one

i think the real question is do you like it enough to justify two of the same watch vs having two different watches.

I always want way more watches than i have, so i would get something else.

Its so close to being the same and the bracelet isnt different enough to me.
