Adventures of a Bluesy
With all the “Is it safe?”, “one and only?”, “Ah, the scratches!! What do I do?” Threads lately I’ve decided to document a few well lived years in a Rolex 16613LB life.
Hope you all enjoy!! Advance apologies if there is feet in the pics, I know how much some of you hate that. 15 June 2020. Just picked her up, can’t stop staring. A dream realized I never thought would happen. ![]() It is safe to play tug of war with your 120lb dog. ![]() It’s also safe ish to let him wear it. ![]() It still works 30’ deep inside a manhole. ![]() It is superbly capable of keeping time while boating. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s not going to catch on fire or gain seconds because it got too close to the grill. ![]() It’s safe to wear during a pandemic. ![]() Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

It can take a blow with a mini sledge better than your wrist can.
![]() ![]() You can visit any kind of bar with it. ![]() It won’t harm the watch to hold wild corn snakes ![]() Or to check for life during a homeless camp on fire. ![]() ![]() We got within a few feet of this guy without harm and he was about 5’ long. ![]() Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

Awesome shots. My bluesy is the most fun watch in the collection. Just something about it, great weekend sports watch especially in the spring/summer months.

Eh, that snake was just doing it’s job and living it’s life. They’re probably more afraid of most of us than anyone is of them. I actually thought I hurt it at first, so I grabbed it to take to a safer place where I wasn’t working and make sure it wasn’t harmed. Never once tried to strike at me.

I enjoyed this photo essay so much! I bought a bluesy just like it in 1992 from an AD and it was well lived-in too. I even ran a marathon wearing it.
Cheers! |

At the risk of looking completely ignorant, can someone please tell me the difference between a 16613 and a 16613LB?

One of the best threads on TRF ever. It inspires me to wear mine more often, although some of those farm pics I might go with a G-Shock, lol. Thanks so much for posting.
