Watch Info
Manufacturer: Rolex
Model: Sea-Dweller Deepsea
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 126660
Year: 2023
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories:Complete Set. Includes Rolex inner and outer boxes, Warranty Card dated 2023, manual, and green chronometer hangtag.
Notes: The 126660 is a masterclass in extreme engineering, featuring the patented Ringlock System that allows for a staggering water resistance of 12,800 feet. This 2023-dated example is particularly interesting as it sits in the transition period following the release of the updated ref. 136660. For collectors, the 126660 remains the "purist" modern choice as it retains the Fliplock dive extension on the bracelet—a feature Rolex famously removed in the subsequent reference.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This watch has been sparingly worn and retains the robust, muscular proportions that define the Deepsea.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The deep black dial is pristine, featuring the updated "coronet" at 6 o'clock. The extra-thick (5.5mm) domed sapphire crystal is flawless, without any chips or edge nicks. The Chromalight lume remains crisp and bright.
Case & Bezel: The 44mm Oystersteel case is in excellent shape with sharp, clear lug lines. The black Cerachrom bezel insert is perfect. Note: There are minor, superficial hairlines on the high-polish case sides. A light professional polish would easily erase these signs of use, bringing the watch to a truly "like-new" aesthetic.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: The Oyster bracelet is tight and includes the full Glidelock and Fliplock extension systems. The clasp shows only light desk-diving swirls on the polished center section.
Technical Specifications
Reference: 126660-0001
Case Size: 44mm
Case Material: Oystersteel with Grade 5 Titanium Caseback
Dial: Black with Chromalight Lume
Movement: Calibre 3235 (Manufacture Rolex, Automatic)
Power Reserve: Approximately 70 Hours
Water Resistance: 3,900m ($12,800\text{ feet}$)
Notable Details: Nitrogen-alloyed steel compression ring, helium escape valve, and the "Fliplock" fold-out link for wearing over a thick diving suit.
Why the 126660 is the Professional’s Deepsea
While the Deepsea is the largest watch in the Rolex professional catalog, the 126660 was the reference that finally perfected its wearability. By widening the bracelet to 22mm and slimming the lugs, Rolex solved the "top-heavy" feel of the original 116660, making this 44mm beast surprisingly comfortable for daily use.
This 2023 complete set represents one of the final production runs of this reference. In the current market, collectors are increasingly seeking out late-model 126660s over the newer 136660 precisely because they want the Fliplock extension—a piece of Rolex tool-watch DNA that is now officially a thing of the past. With its recent warranty date, this watch carries the balance of its 5-year Rolex international warranty until 2028.
