What does the 'B' mean?

I've seen a watch advertised as reference "126333B" or "126333 (B)".

What does that B refer to?

Rolex doesn't, but I'm sure a secondary seller may

Rolex doesn't use a 'B' with this model. Therefore, it's something that the reseller is adding themselves. It's either to denote dial color or overall condition. Without knowing where these numbers were seen it's impossible to say.

So, 'B' could very easily be "Black" in this case.

What does that B refer to?


If I saw that in a listing then I’d really be sure the seller is truly experienced. Or it’s a typo

I think the seller might use it for Bi-metal, as the ref number is of a TT DJ.

On some if the older GMTs, Rolex used a letter to indicate the bezel insert color.
