Hey guys,
I noticed that my favorite Rolex reference, the WG Submariner 116619LB, does not yet have an Official thread for both owner's and fans to post pictures.

This watch was a personal grail of mine for over two years and I finally pulled the trigger back in March. It is truly a special piece and certainly the crown jewel of my collection.

The white metal is true to its "tool" watch heritage and the blue dial is spectacular, as it changes in different lighting conditions…everything from dark navy blue indoors to electric blue in the direct sun.

So…whether you are a current owner, past owner, future owner or just an admirer, post up your best pictures and and let's give this watch the respect it deserves:)

Sadly, I think I'll be "just an admirer" for many years, lol.

One day...

I'm looking forward to seeing all the pics. The WG Sub is truly something special.

Count me as an admirer. I need to go to a larger AD to try one on. I want either that or a YG blue dial Sub. Something to rotate with the Hulk.

Great thread and gorgeous photos.

Yellow Gold Blue Dial gets my vote if you are gonna shell out that much coin.

AK797 · 11 June 2014, 04:37 AM

Fantastic pics! So when you buy a WG Subc do you also have to take a quick photography course?

Mack Bolan · 11 June 2014, 04:47 AM

Ive never tried on a solid gold sub..are they heavy?

Mine weighs approximately 223 grams when sized for a 6.75" wrist. For reference, a SS Submariner weighs around 142 grams, so, yes, it is much heavier, but the watch is very well-balanced so it wears like a dream.

locutus49 · 11 June 2014, 04:59 AM

I've already been laying the groundwork with the wife. Problem is, I got to buy her one, too. Maintain the harmonic balance in the universe and so forth.

I'm a current member of this club, just not sure for how much longer. Sometimes you need to part with things, even if it is your favorite one of the bunch.
