bluesy is just beautiful..

after looking at many ads, my local ad called me with the bluesy 116613LB/

I paid on the spot and i paid tax. went in, and got it.

After 2 days, i must say, this is one beautiful watch. i dont think it is too loud.

it is just a very pretty watch. love it. dont mind at all paying full retail for it.

It blows my mind that the root beer (also beautiful) is so hard to find, but in most cities you can find a bluesy.

these 2 are the best two tones in my opinion. just a good solid tt watch

Its the nicest looking sub out of the entire range. Personally its miles more stunning than the LN or the Hulk. It was the watch that got me originally hooked onto Rolex.

Only thing that beats it is the full gold 116618LB.

Would you trade a GMT LN for a bluesy? Cash added?

Who gets the cash? The GMT owner I assume.

Congrats! This is also the reference that got me into Rolex. Just got it back from service after 17 years of daily wear and still puts a smile on my face!
I know wear it in rotation, but every time I put it on it still sings to me...wear it in good health!

I agree. I think these two are some of the most visual appealing in the entire Rolex Catalog.

Love my eldest TT. After 15 years still gets a lot of wrist time.

Congrats on the pick up and wear it in good health!

In my opinion, the full gold isn’t as stunning as the two tone

Yes it sounds cooler, but side by side, the bluesy is better looking

I agree. The all-gold makes more of a status statement, but for pure aesthetics, I prefer the TT.
