New addition...126660 James Cameron
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd take a quick moment to share my newest addition! I pulled the trigger on a brand new 126660 DSSD J/C. I initially though it would wear too large, but after trying it on a few times at the AD I went ahead and picked one up. I asked them to remove the flip-lock extension and I now use the glide lock for small adjustments rather than remove a link and the fit is excellent for me. As with most of the owners of this piece, it was the blue to black dial and bright green lettering that sold me. I was able to get it in time to wear it to the Circuit of the Americas in Austin for a motorcycle race this past weekend, so I was surely happy about that. I included some pics! Thanks for allowing me to share and have a great day! |

Congratulations
Great to see you get a 126660. I would’ve thought they’ve all been sold by now. |

Fit you well. Great choice. About the diver extension funny everyone complain that in the new one 136660 have been removed BUT in reality no one use it. So funny

CONGRATS! Looks great. I have a 6" wrist and it's very comfortable (despite how big it looks), so you should be fine as far as comfort goes.

My daily and favorite watch! In addition to the dial, love the domed crystal and overall size/fit/feel. Got to drive COTA last year in a street car!

Congratulations, from a fellow Chester County resident (West Chester). What a fantastic watch!
Are you the guy picking up this very watch on Roman Scharf's YouTube channel? Watching it right now actually! |

Very nice. This might be next for me as my AD feels he can get me one. I tried it on at a boutique in Venice this summer and love the gradation as well and was surprised that it felt good on my wrist (7 3/8"). Congratulations.

Did the AD sell you that new or pre-owned? I would have thought all the 126660 were long gone… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congratulations! i own the same watch
so I read a lot of comments here on how uncomfortable the fliplock extension is on the SDDS 126660, and how most people tend to remove it immediately at the AD, so i thought i would give it a try, went to the service center and asked them to remove it, and i had to purchase an additional link for $100 to maintain the bracelet size. okay, so 4 days later, i can now confirm that the original setup was much more comfortable, the fliplock curves nicely on the wrist and it being a solid longer link makes daily micro adjustments with the glidelock much easier i went back to the original setup, if anyone has removed the fliplock immediately after purchase, maybe put it back on and give it a try |
