In my opinion diamonds do not belong on a Submariner in any shape or in any form. Blasphemy. I am glad Rolex discontinued the diamond Sub dial. Diamonds are a GIRLS best friend!

Does anyone like this rare 116613 w diamond dial markers?

Oof. Diamonds on a Sub? That's like lace on a leather jacket. No way.

You have to wonder why then did Rolex even make it.

Apparently, none of the new 116613's (now all w sunburst dial) come w a serti dial.

Rolex is so temperamental.

I love the Diamond version

I had the black first than changed to the blue. Goes good with everything.

There's obviously a market for it, but it's definitely not for me.

I especially love the old-style 16613 diamond champagne blue two tone subs. I wore one for years and still regret selling it. They're so cheesy they're cool!

That is really a personal call there. Not for me but I am sure others would say the same about some of my choices. I love the 116613LB the way it is I could see moving the all gold more than the diamond dial.

I think this is a really sweet watch in real life, maybe not the most photogenic like the hulk. The diamonds are the perfect size and I LOVE the golden disc around the date. It looks like a regular 116613 LB until you get close up. I would rather have one of these than the regular bluesy any day of the week. I also don't think its that "easy" to find, at least not here in Canada.

This watch has a few things going for it
1. Transitional model - very short production run (about 3 years)
2. Smurf flat blue dial - replaced with sunburst
3. Diamond hour markers

Do they have a YG version with diamond markers? Or only a TT and WG.

They did. The YG Submariner used to be available with a black or blue diamond dial. All Submariner diamond dials were discontinued a couple years ago.

Am I wrong?
You are correct. Not just the diamond dial, but the flat blue dial itself on the 116613 was discontinued. That's why I chose the flat blue dial when I was shopping for a 116613.

I wonder can you send a 116613lb latest back to RSC and ask for a dial change to the diamonds, I think that is superb combo
