I love my 12 series JC. Probably my most worn and easy to wear watch with any casual outfit.

Definitely the new dial’s loss - ‘Sea-Dweller’ is a bad-ass name ….

IMO the watch is a fantastic piece of engineering, but is far too large and borderline comical. Needs to be worn on a very large wrist, or even over a wetsuit as intended!

The ‘ratchet adjustment’ (Glidelock, specific to the Deepsea line) is unchanged over the three generations of DS.
Rolex removed the Fliplock link from the bracelet of the 136660. I believe it’s now only on the DS Challenge. |

Wetsuit extension link is worthless
Quote:
I always wanted the added protection of a layer of neoprene over my watch while diving. I have always worn my watch under my wetsuit sleeve, or under my drysuit glove. And I never wore one in sat with hot water suits. As far as the dial color on the JC model goes, it is like a breath of fresh air. I have owned so many black dial Divers including probably a dozen Subs and Seadwellers I am not missing them in the least. There is nothing more toolish or utilitarian about the plain black dial over the JC dial. Not IMO, as a professional Diver for many years, anyway. That being said here is a nice picture of my SD50 with plain black Dial under the sleeve of my wetsuit. |

Wetsuit extension link

You can see it in these pictures of when the watch was new. Say Hello to my little friend! |

I have both the JC and black dial first generation deepsea,two of my favourite watches. In the summertime I wear them on a rubberB. After a day of wearing you get accustomed to the weight and proportions. Have not tried on the latest generation but am told the wearing comfort has improved.

I have the new iteration JC. I also have an 8 inch wrist so the 44 mm is perfect for me. If you don’t have a skinny bony wrist, the case back will settle down into your wrist and looks fine from each angle. I was offered several subs and sea dwellers before I bought this one. I am glad I waited.

It was missing on the introduction of the 126603 (2019-ish) and then I think it was dropped from the 126600 a couple of years later.
