Wonderful, but it deserved a Sunburst dial.

Maybe. But I like it the way it is. If you see one with a sunburst dial it would be a unicorn because I haven't. You could with great difficulty source that sunburst dial I suppose.

I am saying that generally speaking the WG sub, would have been, imho, better looking with a Sunburnt dial. The plain blue is just to plain for me to pull the trigger. But I can easily understand it works for a lot of people.

I agree, Mike. The "milky" royal blue dial works beautifully on the wg sub.

Rolex sunburst dials are amazing! If the 116619 had one, it would certainly look great, in a different way. I think the current dial gives the watch a lot of unique personality. There's always the 618 for those who want a sunburst.

Gorgeous! Congrats!

If I could afford this price point I'd have trouble deciding between this and the BLRO, but heck, if I could afford this price point I'd have won the lottery so I'd just get both!
