Gold Lettering on 116613lb Blue Dial

[jrs146]

I don’t mind the white on the TT but much prefer gold on the solid gold.

That is by any measure a beautiful watch. Congratulations.

The white font is certainly highly legible and dwars the eye to it. Which is why it doesn't work for me. But each to our own.

Can anyone with the new generation white font dial confirm whether or not the letters are raised?

On the gold font dial the letters have dimension to them.

I've yet to see a modern dial where the text is NOT raised. So I'd expect so.

Text on the dial of mine looks to be raised, pretty consistent with the previous model

It was inconsistent with the previous model just how raised the dial text was , I'd image the same here. Some looked awful , some looked like they were very 3D , most looked somewhere inbetween. I much prefer the gold , cannot understand the decision to change to white on this colour scheme.

I have the gold lettering but I think the white looks nice too. I prefer mine because I think the gold matches the overall color profile better, but I do agree that the white pops more against the blue.

It’s funny - I am trying to understand why gold would match better. When I look at the dial, all I see is white and blue. White dial markers, hands, dial wheel. I think it is just as simple as white text matches the dial well and you can see the text more visibly. Some have suggested the blue is darker on the 12. It does look more navy than the 11 to my eyes. Consider the black dials have white text, maybe the darker dial called for it. I think the gold gets lost sometimes with the sunray finish. I actually liked the gold better on the flat blue dial. Also like it more on the FG as it really matches the all gold better. I don’t think the text color makes that much of a difference, especially in real life. The close up photos and our attention to it makes it more obvious.

I think the gold letters especially on 5-digit bluesy is pretty drab. White is crispy and nice to look at.

For me the gold text ties the dial back to the gold on the bezel, insert, crown, and the gold center links on the bracelet.

I actually like the white print. It looks more crisp in my opinion.

That being said, the gold print looks great too.

At the end of the day, they're both still the beautiful and iconic Bluesy.

Blue TT Sub ..have the 16613 blue and 116613LB and love the gold lettering .However,have seen the 126613LB and the white lettering works great in the design too !

Mistakes ...

126613LN they should have reintroduced the gold lettering .Black TT Sub is such a beautiful watch !
YG Blue TT Sub ,I feel gold lettering is a must .
