I am delighted to encounter this variant of TheCarGuys. Damien's observations are valuable, but I have begun to miss the other guy's perspective--I can no longer recall his name, but he seems more compatible with my Toyota budget. On the subject of Sea Dwellers, how about lobbying Rolex to offer the Deap Sea Challenge? That would be a really memorable tool watch even if it would have to worn on the outside of a sleeve.

Thoughts on the Tudor North Flag Damien? I’ve always been drawn to this model and picking one up tomorrow. As it’s now discontinued I rang/emailed Tudor AD’s all over the UK hoping to find one still in stock. Eventually I found a new one on the bracelet - an unexpected bonus was a 15% discount when the AD owner noticed a tiny mark on the bezel 👍🙂

Thanks for the fun video. I have an option on a 2021 newer model and I agree with all of your points. I had the SD 43, but the Deepsea is more comfortable (at least on my wrist). And you are right, the newer model is more balanced and more comfortable.

@pukenanginang 3 года назад

My 126660 dblue gets more wrist time than my sub and gmt. Its just a special piece and very unique and top of the range made by rolex. Yes it is thick and big but there's a reason for that due to its depth rating.

@kenvance259 3 года назад

I recently purchased a JC 126660. My wife bought me a new Sub 14060 in 1990 and I wanted to add another Rolex this year. I considered a used SD 4000 but it looks quite similar to my current Sub. I decided to go for the new JC. The writing around the ring looks very prominent in pictures, but is not as noticeable when you wear the watch.

@macrolex9485 3 года назад

I agree Ken - the ring lock dominates in pictures but quite discreet in reality - a fantastic watch 👍🙂

@sweeney5296 3 года назад

Great video. I own this watch and love it, but you're misrepresenting the watch's capabilities a bit. It will not survive to the bottom of the Mariana trench, which is over three times this watch's depth rating. Cameron having it on his wrist inside the submersible does not subject it to that pressure, as he would have been dead. He could have been wearing a Patek dress watch in there and it would have been fine. The DeepSea Challenge definitely can survive those pressures, but too bad we can't purchase it.

@phmwu7368 3 года назад

On January 23, 1960 Swiss Jacques Piccard had put a Rolex Deep Sea special on the outside of the batyscaphe and this Rolex prototype survived the adventure! Jacques Piccard always wore a personal Rolex Submariner wristwatch. So far only 5 people visited that deepest spot on Earth: 2012, March 16: James Cameron wearing a Rolex DeepSea Challenge Sea Dweller wristwatch and another outside his Kawasaki green colored Deep submersible " Deep Sea Challenger " 2019, April 28: Victor Vescovo reached the deepest point onboard DSV Limiting Factor wearing an Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep 2020, June 7: Again Victor Vescovo who was joined by veteran NASA astronaut Kathryn Sullivan to dive to the deepest point on Earth. Their DSV - Deep Submergence Vehicle had Omega logos on the side and Vescovo wore an Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep
