126603 for a discount?

I’m pretty fortunate in that many of the watches I like are not the over hyped models (some definitely are), such as the 126603 two tone Sea Dweller. I refuse to pay over retail for any watch, so this has helped my collecting.
My Deepsea is the watch I have worn the most over the past few years (another unpopular model) and I WILL buy the solid gold version.
Until then, I’m considering this Sea Dweller as it checks a lot of boxes and I have been offered one at a significant discount.
Curious to hear feedback (and see photos) from owners as I decide on this purchase. Thanks

Great piece, loved it on my wrist at the AD. Passed due to already owning the SS SD43 and TT Sub.

Is the discount from the AD or grey dealer?

A TTSD, well you couldn't pick a better watch in my humble opinion.

I have one, it wears beautifully on my wrist, it looks stunning and for me it is a real statement piece.

From my point of view there are just no faults with it, yes its a big watch but if you know this it isn't a problem, if you're used to Subs or GMT's then the TTSD will come as a bit of a shock. I don't have big wrists but can get the watch fitting nicely using the Glidelock and have room to adjust for those times when your wrist swells or contracts due to the weather.

A great watch and totally recommended.

I have one and absolutely love it. I'm not a big guy and think it wears very well despite what many say about it being top heavy etc.

If you like it, go for it!

Thanks everyone. I agree that it’s a great piece, and since I like a larger watch, it makes sense. Being offered a sport watch at a discount from an AD seems like an easy choice.

I also own the SD43 TT, and it's one of my favorites. Go for it!

Awesome watch if it fits your wrist, I have played with it several times at the dealer. Sacrilegious I know, but I think it would look absolutely great with the gold PCLs brushed, like the Tudor S&G does.

That's my favorite sea dweller. It is class on the wrist.
