Congrats, Mike! Love the SD theme. It’s the watch that got me hooked.

Enjoy, my friend.

Congrats on the incoming, Mike! (even if it’s not gold! )

Did a double take when I saw the post and wondered if someone had bumped an old thread. Nice to see you posting again!

Big congrats Mike! It's my most worn SS piece.
The dial is so good in so many ways. Enjoy it along with the rest of your SD fam!

Hey Mike, great to see you posting, brother! I've also calmed down on PMs a bit with my last few buys being SS, altho I did buy a SD43 in TT so I guess I am more golden than you on the Dwellers right now.

I don’t disagree but I enjoy larger watches and this watch sits on my wrist better than my PAM372.

Only reason I haven’t picked up the TT is because I’m holding out for the full gold model.

Hey Travis. Yeah I think the 116660 is going bye bye as I don’t see it getting any wrist time at all with the 126660 around.

So - every steel Rolex you own says Sea Dweller on the dial? That’s awesome.


Once I get an idea in my head, I’m glued to it. Thought it would be fun to get them all. I’ll probably start looking for a 16600 to replace the one I sold. Don’t think I’ll be doing the TT model though.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on how it wears compared to your 116660. Do you think there’s a noticeable difference?



I always appreciate hearing your insights


If you ignored the “Sea-Dweller” on the dial, the 40mm 43mm and 44mm could be their own models. Just as the Sub is different from the 116600, the 126660 is different from the 116660.

I think the shape of the wrist will influence how one feels about either watch. A flatter wrist might like how the lower 43mm sits while a rounder wrist may find the 44mm and wider bracelet wraps better. I think the 126660 fits my round wrist better but I’ll have to wear both back to back for an extended time to be sure.

I’m just waiting for Rolex to release more gold models. I have all the gold models that I want so far... still on the fence about the RG CHNR.
