Congrats! I recently picked up a 126655 too. I had the 116655, but the glidelock is a game changer on this one. The oysterflex is unreal comfortable. Great watch and IMO underrated, enjoy it!!

I am slightly under 6.75”. I don’t know what letters they fitted me with but I can check later today. It’s nice to have the glidelock!

Great watch - saw someone with it on in NYC on my way to an AD who happened to have one in the back. Price was the only reason I didn't walk out with it.

Thank you! Believe me price was the only thing holding me back from picking this up for quite a while, but it just kept calling me...In the end I just couldn’t stop thinking about it so I succumbed

Congrats!!! Definitely a sleeper, and a personal grail of mine after trying one on in my first ever trip to an AD many years ago. Secondary market values on this are up a solid 10k recently, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this ones popularity continue to skyrocket as SS pieces fetch similar prices. Enjoy it!!

Those prices were actually for the first gen 116655.

The lowest the new 12 series reference dipped to was around $26k~, but now they’re going for $29k~ +.
