She's a beauty! Got my Deep Sea 126660 about 4 years ago. Still in love with it to this day.

[@vintagecrazyjay4970]

I have the 126660 and never want to take it off! It's like a tank wearing a tuxedo - tough, yet classy! Love it!

[@justenforge4596]

Congratulations on finally getting one! I appreciate your palpable excitement as you open your new treasure. I, too, had to wait many years to acquire one. By the time my opportunity came around they had come out with the 126660 which I picked up at my AD at retail. I am fortunate. Your initial impressions mirror mine to a tee - I prefer black to the JC, and appreciate having that model that is a little more obscure/mysterious.This 44mm is the perfect size for my 7.25" wrist, and is so balanced it feels like it's not even there. I had owned a 14060 and the regular SD, but they just felt too small. It's so refreshing having you discuss the real features about a model that precious few know about or appreciate in the Rolex world. Good video, look forward to the next one.

[@TheRaleighGuide]

Picked up a v serial (2008) couple weeks ago and have not taken it off my wrist! The watch is perfect and took no time getting used to. I removed two extra links and got the size perfect using the glide lock. Thanks for another amazing review, it helped me pull the trigger on this one. Never getting rid of this one, PERFECT daily wearer. Thanks J.A :)

[@ericdiefel4505]

I tried one of these on in August of 2019. It was used (2010 model). Wasn't crazy about the size. The next morning my AD called and told me they got one of these watches in. I asked a few people on a forum if you get used to the size. I have bigger wrists. Everyone that owned one said to absolutely go for it. I did and was the best decision I've ever made. I LOVE this watch. The flip lock extension/glide lock is, as you mentioned, a great feature. I find myself staring at the watch all the time. I couldn't wear my sub for awhile. Congratulations and you'll love it

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks, and totally agree. It takes a bit but you do get used to the size

[@barrymeaden5712]

I got my deep sea recently. I absolutely love it just like the original watch used on the James Cameron deep sea challenge. Out of all my Rolex watches I do love this the most.

[@maxanderson5612]

I have the 136660 with black dial. It is a absolute masterpiece, I favour the black dial over the James Cameron blue black dial but everyone for there own choices, it's good of the two options, My every day driver, suits all occasions, I've had endless compliments. If you're wanting a watch in the Sea Dweller range on your wrist "136660" is the go. 😊👍🏼

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

Glad to see you back, J, and congrats on finally getting your new Sea Dweller!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thank you 🙏

[@chiliprepper7678]

Got mine this past Fall 2019 after owning 2 other Subs including the 114060. ❤this Deep Sea 44! My everyday go to watch. 7.25 inch wrist.

[@mrchow489]

Did u buy from AD or grey dealer? Grey dealers be jacking up the prices

[@chiliprepper7678]

@@mrchow489 Actually Grey. Chrono_store in NYC. I got a great $. Right now they have two 114060 post on their ebay store at just $7.5 K & $8. That is what I paid for it and beginning Summer 2019 and got in trade in Fall 2019. The Deep Sea 44 black are about $9.5k right now as of Fen 1 2020. Happy hunting.

[@blainecole5452]

"I was this punk kid ... at the time I was twenty years old..." Your honesty is commendable.

[@cheaney5]

I love this watch. It's probably the most comfortable watch I own. And you're right, it's just so solidly built, you don't worry about damaging it at all.

[@derhampaul2182]

Yeah

[@Nexus.Achiles]

Good to see you back. Great piece you got there. I went for the SD43 but yours is on another level in terms of technical achievement, for sure. Wear it in good health.

[@johnbarnett4284]

I own this exact same model and could not agree more with your review and your love for this watch. Thank you for the great work. She is a beast!

[@dakotaxu4792]

First of all thank you for taking the trouble to make such a cool video. Very film-like. I always felt that tube was the best Rolex and I was never drawn toward the Daytona, also never could understand the crazy price for the Daytona either. The only thing that I was undecided about was the deep blue dial versus this one. But after watching your video I now realize that the black dial is a classic! I’m getting mine either today or early next week. Yes I saved up the money for it!! Again thank you for such a nice video!

[@alecleamus3280]

Glad to see you back! Always was a channel that was watch driven, with no dramas, Love the watch and your review of it. Congrats on your purchase, wear it for many years in good health my friend.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thank you for the support my friend!

[@polarroller]

I love the Sea Dweller. I have the first model DSSD-James Cameron and the 50th Ann SD , single red line. I just love both watches. I agree, after wearing the Deep Sea a few hours, you get use to it, can't even tell it's on your wrist. You get totally used to it. Awesome purchase J !!!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks my friend, great to hear from you!

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Congratulations! I have the 43mm version. These SD’s are like super Subs!

[@djpeak10]

Great video buddy! Just got mine, had a decent amount of automatic time pieces but this is my first Rolex. Love your back story on when you first fell in love with it. I had similar experience.

[@b.2221]

It's something that I will never be able to afford, but hope that you enjoy it Sir, because it's simply magnificent. Thank you very much for sharing your video Sir 👍 Tam.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. I appreciate it.

[@MCFCTheMadHatter]

I couldn’t agree with you more on your characterization of the DSSD - engineering pinnacle of Rolex can do; relative rarity of the piece; I prefer the black over the blue for that more classic and subtle look etc. I’ve wanted one for years and eventually bought one in Feb 2017. It’s a daily wearer and 3-years on it still makes me happy when I gaze upon it just like my Panerai 422. I rotate btwn the two, and each one puts a smile on my face. I hope yours gives you years of enjoyment as mine has.

[@MsStevechan]

I bought the same watch at an AD last year in Bangkok. I was so lucky that it was there for me. As soon as I put on my wrist, 2 people also walked in and asked for Rolex sport model. I was asked to take it off my wrist so I paid without a blink.

[@adriandevin653]

Steve Chan I had a similar story in Bangkok expect I was trying on a watch that was someone else that was coming in to pay for it. I paid straight away and I got it before the other person arrived

[@JohnnyDX]

Missed you. Don’t stop the straight honest content. Nice piece you got there.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks Johnny

[@jcbsplace]

Good to see you back on the tube

[@Ramblin_Man]

Congrats on the Sea-Dweller DeepSea! Looks great on your wrist, a perfect fit.

[@jayeveritt9956]

I'm watching this wearing my 2 week old 126660 black on black. Agreeing with everything said here. Love it. I like to think of it as a super sub. Smile multiple times a day when I look at it.

[@fullmetalcustomsdavidpark3443]

Thank you for the review. I have both the sub and this DSSD. How many of the black dial did they produce as compared to the blue dial would you say?

[@PhotoDaveJax]

I agree with your watch choice and reasons. Best part of the video was the personal openness at the end. Prayers for continued happiness and peace.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thank you my friend

[@jameshoward9700]

Awesome watch. Nice unboxing. I'm on the waitlist for a black dial too and they are superb. I actually use mine for scientific diving, so a bit frustrating not to be able to just go into a shop and buy a tool, but there you go. It will no doubt turn up eventually...

[@codychoong9185]

Been with your channel since the Seiko Monster days and the SARB035. The first KZbinr of watches I followed. Great to see you back. Cheers from @wristwatchdad

Great video Anthony glad to see you back

[@TimothyKelley007]

I have never watched your channel before but I have to say I really enjoyed your ending statement at around the 20:00 mark. Breath of fresh air right there. 👍👍👍

[@dwillc6621]

Great video!! I love your passion about the Deepsea. I share your exact sentiments. I wanted one for 20 years and finally purchased a 2014 model in 2019. By far the best Rolex there is due its uniqueness. Everything you said is everything I love too. I wear mine daily and don't worry about it. Rare, huge, helium valve, ring lock, titanium back, writing on the back, and the Oyster bracelet clasp that is only on the Deepsea. No other Oyster has the same pop up adjustment. And I'm with you on the black face... not much of a fan of the deep blue Cameron face. The black is classic and timeless. Best watch ever!!!!

[@Tcsotac27]

Great review man! This will be my first Rolex and glad I waited to find this gem… well as soon as they come back in stock. I own Breitling Super Avenger (48mm ) which is a monster and the reason I bought it. This DeepSea fits and feels like a glove. Thanks for your knowledge and content keep up the great work.🤘

[@TerenceMa1989]

I got the black deepsea last month from the local AD! the details are mesmerizing.

[@thewatchloungechris]

It is a marvel of engineering. The bracelet, the water resistance. Congratulations! It is a beast. I have the JC edition.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Love the blue dial as well!

[@DG-ej5nz]

Great vid man! How big is your wrist? Mine is just slightly bigger than 7.25" but I want this watch or the JC so bad but the 44mm has me 2nd guessing my decision. Thanks!

[@BigTonyGee]

Good review very informative! Wear in good health tony~!

[@01sevensix]

Great review! Thanks

[@TheBarts27]

Congrats. Great watch and thanks for the video. I have the Deep Sea 126660. I love it. I also love the fact the the box is bigger. Rolex has a nice box but the boxes are sometimes a bit small in my opinion. I sold my 114060 submariner for my Deep Sea 126660. Sometimes I regret it because I bought the 114060 at list at the AD end 2018 and the prices did come up. The submariner is beautiful too and so comfy on the wrist. In the end I will buy another sub with a date. I hope this year. The Deep Sea is a stunning watch and I also bought the black dial version because I like it better than the blue version. There is something "real tool" watch with the black dial. The blue dial is more funky but over the years the black dial will never be out of place. I want the sub also because the Deep Sea is big and sometimes too big. It has got a lot of wrist presence and sometimes too much. I can handle the watch because I have a 8.1" wrist so the watch sits perfect on my flat wrist. I wish it was a little bit thinner but it has a reason why it is thicker. Overall I am pleased with the Deep Sea. Sometimes I am thinking about selling it to create funds for the Vacheron constantin Overseas, but until this day and can't do it.

[@MyCalculatedRandomness]

I gotta say I love my Rolex Sea Dweller 50th Anniversary (No crown) and GMT Master ll Root-Beer, but this is stunning timepiece as well. Huge congrats sent your way!!!!

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Thanks my friend! Always loved the root beer GMT

[@andrewbrown5636]

Owned 2 DSSDs.. the black and the JC. Unfortunately I could never get over the ‘pebble on a string’ ergonomics so now own the SD43 . The bracelet was very skinny and Rolex obviously agreed as they made the new one wider. That said, the clasp is a fantastic piece of engineering.

At 1 mm less width and 3 mm less case thickness...with the newer Calibre 3235 movement...and with the wider, better-proportioned bracelet, I felt the Sea-Dweller 43 (Ref #126600) was the superior choice for a daily luxury sport diver. Granted, the depth rating on my SD43 is “only” (🤣) 4,000 feet, but we’re basically talking personal preferences here. The fit on my 18cm wrist is perfect.

[@JANTHONYCHANNEL]

Yeah, I totally understand. I personally prefer not having a cyclops and the smaller bracelet but I totally understand that I’m the minority on that. I love the SD43 as well!
