Do you think Rolex will discontinue the Deep Sea D Blue 126660 ?
Like to hear your thoughts

Cheers

Eventually they will. But I already got mine in the collection. Great reference

petay993 · 1 October 2019, 10:31 PM

If they had plans to drop it any time soon they would not have relaunched it in the 126660 format

herts9 · 1 October 2019, 10:33 PM

I'd think they'd d/c the black DSSD before the JC, but you'll never know until they do.

Mystro · 1 October 2019, 10:35 PM

I wasn’t taking any chances and I just purchased one. I think it’s a very significant watch in the Rolex collection.

JayHantz · 1 October 2019, 11:12 PM

I personally think that this model will see a discontinuation before the LV. I would love one but I don't think I can pull off the size. Nevertheless, a gorgeous watch and an absolute beast of a tool watch.

Love mine and think JC will be discontinued before black dial. Just don’t think that will be seen since it just came out.

I’d like to see Rolex offer a 22mm OysterFlex bracelet option for us that might want to occasionally switch to rubber, but keep the security of a bracelet (underlying titanium) that also keeps it 100% Rolex.

It just arrived and is quite hot. Does not make sense to discontinue

switchface · 3 October 2019, 09:00 AM

I can see it being discontinued in 1-2 years.

In general terms, I think the trend (and I don't say that in a demeaning way) of most watches ballooning in overall size has mostly subsided. There is now talk of many people now re-discovering the beauty of smaller dress watches. Not me, I like a watch with substance.

In specific terms, I think any watch that commemorates a particular event, etc has to have a somewhat limited run time, otherwise it becomes more an item in of itself and less something to celebrate said event.

Personally, I would love if it was discontinued as I just picked one up!

No one knows

TswaneNguni · 3 October 2019, 03:16 PM

More likely the SD50

omx5o · 3 October 2019, 04:42 PM

Discontinue this watch, which is based on one of their biggest and most proudest achievements? I doubt it. I think this will still be available in 15 years time. Besides, they’ll likely discontinue the black before the blue.

Smarties · 3 October 2019, 05:10 PM

It will. Sooner or later. Just don't know when.

Personally I guess it will not happen in coming few years.

Rashid.bk · 3 October 2019, 05:21 PM

Why would they. Makes no sense, they just updated it and retooled the manufacturing to produce a new case and bracelet, they gave it the new movement and presented it with fanfare at Basel just last year.
Not to mention that engineering wise, it's Rolex's most advanced tech in a watch.

It's going to be a looooong while before it's gone.

Rolex can discontinue D-Blue and launch a DS in different color variation (if Rolex wants to make some change to DS). Nothing is impossible.

Boaters · 9 October 2019, 09:31 PM
