Can a two tone blue Sub be my only watch?

That's the automatic. I have the Quartz version. And mine's all stainless with a panda (black with silver sub dials) dial.

Let's see...

Third bracelet
fifth or sixth set of [sub dial] hands (kept falling off when I was skiing)
Second crystal
Third crown
Second set of pushers
second bezel assembly

Bought in Salzburg, Austria in 1988 I think. Still have the Heuer marked box, and it had a Heuer crown and bracelet, so it was a "transitional" model. I learned about "TAG" when I bought it. I had to have the Heuer because I saw it all over the race cars when my Dad and I would watch the races on TV...

(I attached a crappy, pre-restoration photo I found)

I was planning to rotate the bluesy with my other watches to match my clothes that I am wearing but the bluesy seems to fit with everything whether it is suit or a casual T-shirt and shorts

Bluesy is perfect I think. Although I am in a list for a Daytona, I may downsize to bluesy.. As my second choice.

Thanks - great looking piece, they're probably close in production years and look relatively close in looks. Sheesh, looks like almost the exact same model aside from mechanical versus Quartz.

Yes, mine has had the pushers replaced, crown and seals replaced as well as the crystal I believe, was a $600 service several years ago, was probably crazy to pay that much, but it has sentimental value.

Thanks for sharing....

I'll take a Bluesy any day over a Daytona, but I'm not a Daytona fan.

I have a white ceramic Daytona and find myself wearing the LB more. Much more. Almost daily. The blue dial is just mesmerizing even after years of wearing different variants of the LB. I’ve had PM DD’s, PP’s, etc. still nothing has captured my heart like the LB! There are times when I wear the Daytona or other SS pieces but always miss the LB. More so in the summer I think.

Same here.

The Bluesy would be a great "only" watch, but if you want to play it safe the all stainless model is never a bad choice.

Wouldn't you rather wake up every day and strap something on your wrist that blows you away?

Exactly!!!! It was my daily for years ... Get it and enjoy it !!!

Yes, most definitely!

If I had to have only one Rolex (thank Dog that's never going to happen!) it would be a 16613. Only watch I could put on every day and it would bring a smile to my face.
It will be my next and probably last Rolex.
