is the 126660 band that much better than my original DSSD?

I was used to and always most pleased with 4 and 5 digit bracelets with regard to the width and taper and it took me a while to adjust to the DSSD, so i wasn't in the mood for any more change in my Rolex watches.
As it's worked out in the fullness of time sticking with the 11 was the best choice for me by far.
Besides, the increased price alone couldn't justify the shift across to the 12 at all.

Thank you so much for the affirmation. I researched several older threads when the 12series was coming out before the 13’s. I read several of your posts and others describing more detailed differences between the bands and it has been helpful.

I realize I’m probably not going to be able to compare in person so I really appreciate the input.

My experience has been similar in that I became very comfortable with the watch and once fitted well, I never thought about the bracelet width or the weight/balance.

Without being able to compare directly and given mine is returning like new, I’m disinclined to try and swap it for a used watch just for a mm or so.

Thanks again
