Rolex Rip Off! "James Cameron" 126660 Unboxing & Rant!

[@tomroman7455]

I must be one of the lucky ones: bought my DeepSea Cameron last year and was fortunate to get another 'wait-listed' model this year and I have the warranty cards for both. There wasn't even any mention of "we're supposed to hold this but ...". However, this year they did remove almost all the stickers whereas last year they only did so after asking if I wanted them to. Since I'm not a flipper this isn't an issue to me. I love my DeepSea but I do agree that's it's not for everyone - no watch is.

[@ashleyb66]

I'll stick to the Ginault Ocean Rover. Any company that has revenue in excess of $4.7 billion dollars (2016) and has managed to remain a registered charity is going to have some less than respectable business practices. If I was told I wasn't getting the guarantee card for 12 months after having forked out 💰💰💰💰 there would be a call to the card company to cancel the transaction. Good on you for your honest review and bringing this to people's attention. OUTRAGEOUS as you said.

[@lenpowell6647]

I have the same argument.Rolex moved to Switzerland from London back in the day for tax purposes and established themselves as a charity! A charity by definition is a non profit making company.????? Good comment.

[@stevenwymor1398]

Great honest review as usual Jody. All that printing on the dial and chapter ring is tacky AF if ya ask me (and I know ya didn't). Good rant about Rolex trade practices. I'd never buy a product from a company that was artificially limiting supply to create scarcity and inflation. And, I'd never buy one, period. I'd rather have an Omega or a Grand Seiko Spring Drive and pocket the difference. Rolex and all the homages are completely lost on me. If only Bond had never worn one... 🤔

[@huss1205]

An Omega diver will be a better choice, looking better at least and less than half the price.

[@andrewolsen5667]

I'd rather have a Seamaster or Black Bay over any of Rolex's dive offerings. Not that I hate Rolex. I just thing that Omega and Tudors are more interesting watches.

[@fatboab2181]

people say this watch is over priced and not very good value, but that farmer in Michigan was using a meteorite worth $100,000 as a door stop. he could've used a sea dweller instead and had $85,000 left over so think again all you rolex haters!

Even too chunky for me and I'm rocking 8" wrists! My ideal Rolex is a black dialed Explorer. Decent size, unassuming and beautiful simple. I blame my Seiko Alpinist for this change away from my former favourite, the ubiquitous Submariner. Still.... my grail watch is a vintage mkII speedmaster pro.

8" wrist makes this watch perfect on that sized wrist! I have 7.25" and it doesn't look ridiculous at all!

[@cis4coffee]

They may be big, and well out of my price grasp... But I have a fondness for divers. And that blue-to-black fade on the dial is so enticing! Maybe a new "Batman" model in the making?! Thanks Mr. X for sharing, thanks Jody for the video (and hope your blood pressure is calmed down).

[@stephenward3468]

I would have prefered a blue rotating bezel to match the dial.It is a heavy tool watch no doubt,but not for me.I'm a Seiko Marine Master fan.As for the Rolex dealer retaining the warranty,if i am spending 12.000 quid for the watch i want ALL the paperwork pertaining to the watch before i leave the shop.

[@AlanHearnshaw]

You know, it’s all you watch reviewers’ fault that watches are so expensive now. When watches had a price, it wasn’t too bad. Now they have a “price point”, it’s much more expensive. Needlessly inflated, like the phrase. 😉

[@rimas.kalpokas]

I have a homage of the same dimensions and a large wrist, however, I feel the watch on my wrist AND have to look out for door handles and the like so I wouldn't damage it :) By the way, there is a watch in between the sub and the Deep Sea, the Sea Dweller, with only 15mm thickness :)

[@gdsvalentine1193]

[@danielwinther3388]

I seriously don't understand why people want a Rolex.

[@rankbadyin4147]

Shame that they never put some text on the dial.

[@LordArioh]

3900m WR kinda tells you about how tough this watch is. Hardly ever anyone dives more than 200 meters. Most common depth is above 50 meters.

[@twiceborn_by_grace]

It reminds me of one of those wall clock safes. It looks okay until you see it from the side.

[@m39fan]

Now we know where Invicta got their ideas on size!

[@Biggun8262]

Nor do I like the Rolex DSDW. It’s too big and heavy. Although I have a few caveats, not worth it when you consider you could acquire an Omega PO 600m for 1/5th of the price of this, or for that matter a Rolex Submariner. Plus with the Omega Planet Ocean 600m you get two more tests than with either of the Rolex models. COSC and Metas certified! Look it up! Making the Omega PO a much better watch by far than a Rolex. The Omega is completely anti-magnetic, Rolex can’t claim that!

[@ogrxdy]

I think 200 metres resistance is a fine place to set the standard. Anything more than that is becoming unnecessary. The thickness is absolutely mental. That weight is pretty much a quarter of a kilogram! All that aside, it's a goddamn gorgeous piece.

[@foxmulder3980]

LOL, wrong... Stands to reason if it's good to 3000+ meters then 200 meters is child pay. This is the only Rolex that is worth the price.

[@stevek8829]

That "original gas escape" etc. signage around the dial is very tasteful. It must appeal to those that will hold their wrist up to everyone. Perfect for trash with cash.

[@ianarn]

Good non biased review!

[@PatrickAnderson-vh7hv]

I mean.... It's a nice watch, but I would honestly never give Rolex a dime, even if I had the money. I'd rather go to Omega if I wanted a luxury watch. Much better value for money, too.

[@kenji228]

Every tool watch has a purpose. I fail to understand why a dive watch is being criticized as big. How about pilot watches?

So what if it may take a bit to get used to in the way of the weight on the wrist. You get to wear the biggest baddest Rolex they make. It makes me smile!

[@TheArmagan2211]

used rolex will go for 50% above retail in the jewellery stores. Rolex wants to stop the flippers thats why they keep the card for 12 months to they cant market the used watch 'with box and papers. This watch is absolutely amazing. Do you need a watch to dive that deep? No? BUT DO you really need your car to have 500 horse power even though 50 would be sufficient? Do you really that newest iphone?

On top of the 18mm height it has more text than a Casio G-Shock! It’s already sold... the owner shouldn’t have to be reminded why they bought it... or maybe that is the point. The customer may continually ask themselves ‘why the heck did I buy this bulbous steel growth to wear on my arm!!!’ And can’t even sell it... they bought a one year sentence! LoL

[@JungleEddie]

On that size watch I would want 22mm with no taper. I would have to say that is too big even for my 8.25 inch wrist.

[@dougwever2763]

The assumptions that are misinformed are regrettable. 1. The commentator asserts twice that people buy this watch to be noticed with their bigger more expensive Rolex DeepSea. In practice not only is this wrong, the opposite is true. One of the attractional qualities of the 126660 DeepSea is the lack of the iconic Rolex cyclops which throws this watch under the Rolex radar virtually assuring no one outside of a diving school will have any idea what you're wearing. Since August of 2018 I have had one person recognize this watch, and that was before a dive. A Submariner is exceedingly more iconic as a Rolex and would be the clear choice if someone had the goal of being noticed. 2. To call the depth capacity "utterly useless" is utterly useless. The reviewer said he would not have a DeepSea as long as there was one Submariner left on the planet. However, the Submariner's 1,000' capacity is equally useless. If a scuba diver achieved a 1,000' dive, it would take approximately twelve hours back up for the requirements of decompression, and the diver would go through seven or eight tanks during that time, therefore needing an extensive support team and special gas mixtures. So the Submariner is virtually as "useless" in the real world as the DeepSea. So what is the reviewer's real point other than demonstrating he doesn't dive or understand the real-world reasons some seek out over-engineered time pieces.

[@dylvasey]

I'd love to see a state of the collection from Mr. X. Never really been a fan of the 166610, as you said it's just massive. I have a 7 and a half inch wrist and this would be too big for me. The thickness surely means it cannot be worn with anything with a long sleeve. Same problem with the Cameron bt I am in love with it's dial. Great watches to look at, bad watches to wear (I assume having never had the chance to wrist one up). Great T-Shirt by the way!

[@Midlanflyguy]

I agree Rolex has gone off the cliff. I have a real Sub that I rarely wear because I'm saving to pass it down to my kid, but my daily-wear favorite these days is my $90 Chinese knockoff Sea-Dweller 😉

[@Wingspan_5]

Wonder how many of these are actually going to 3900m? How many are going past 20m. I'd wager none. Rolex could claim it can do 10000m and it'd be fine cause no one would try LOL

This watch isn't meant for dainty wrists. It is perfectly suitable for ppl like me. My 44 mm Panerai looks on my wrist the way a 40 mm looks on most. My 48 mm and 46 mm Breitlings also don't look large on my much wider wrists. If ya got tiny wrists, get a Sub.

[@peterbeck-rasmussen8514]

If you look at the prices the socalled "grey market" dealers demand for the all too often completely new Rolex watches with plastic and stickers, they have for sale and compare it to the AD´s suggested retail prices, you have the explanation for the long waiting lists at AD´s for a new watch. Not only are there waiting lists, but especially for the stainless steel sport Rolex´s, many AD´s also demand that you are a socalled "valued customer" before they will sell you one. "Valued customer" may just mean if you buy one or maybe two DateJusts at the same time as your Submariner or Seadweller. This is thanks to those "smart-asses", who goes to an AD, buys a brand new Rolex sub/dweller/etc or maybe two or more for the suggested retail prices, just to flip it for nearly twice the price at a "grey market" dealer (now THAT my friend, is capitalism !) ............... as a consequence no regular people, that over time may have been able to scrape together the money to buy a new sports Rolex at an AD, cannot do so !! In order to combat the "buy and flip and score the price-difference" Rolex has started to withhold the warranty cards for 12 months making it impossible to instantly flip the watch for a premium. This does in no way inflict the buyers warranty on the watch at all. I for one, as someone who would like to buy a Rolex at the suggested retail price instead of paying double the price at a "grey market" dealer (no matter how reputable they may be) wellcome this wholeheartedly !! Another thing the AD´s could do is to insist that the watch they sell to a customer will have the stickers peeled off and the bracelet sized to the customer, before they leave the shop with the watch ! If it was bought as a gift - give the customer the box and papers and tell them to make the reciepient of the gift come to the shop to have the watch peeled and sized at the shop.
