Welcome aboard


I agree. I think the 116613LB especially benefits from the ceramic bezel. The glossiness of the ceramic combined with the sunburst blue dial really takes things up a notch in comparison to the 16613LB. Add to that the much better clasp and bracelet and it’s a no brainer in my opinion.

Never really thought about it. But it makes sense that the ceramic bezel would bring out the Sunburst dial. Good call.

Bluesy is a beauty but if a few grand more is not a big deal go with a newer model.

One common theme here is that we love our Blue Rolesor Sub dates. Go 6!

I think another thing to consider is the heft of the watch. In my personal opinion the 6 digit bluesy feels ALOT more substantial of a watch than a 5 digit.

If you like a heavier watch then the 6 digit is the way to go.
