Opinions on 16613 Submariner blue

I could be getting the 16613 Submariner blue dial and bezel soon, but Im not 100% sure yet. What are people opinions on the Sub 16613 blue?

A beautiful piece! Overall I prefer the 116613 though (case, bracelet, clasp, ceramic).

I do not hate it, and hate it less than the 116613, which I admittedly love.

The original Bluesy is stunning.
Not a fan of the new blue hue, though.

One guy told me he bought the GMT with Pepsi to match his blue jeans.
They do indeed look very matching.

Blue is nice but black is a little classier imho. although choose whatever suits your style i feel that black goes with alot more choices either sport or dress mode

I think the color combo is the most striking combo of all Rolex line up. As others have pointed out, there are some color differences on the 16613 vs 116613. Which one you like better is a personal preference, but I think either are great watch to own. Good luck.

I like the color better than the newer one but love the clasp in the new one better. Great choice either way

great rolex!

demand has dropped making the 16613 a lot less $$$ used than the all ss models... buy it soon, imo, they're due for an increase on the used market.
