I cant offload my bluesy
I have now owned my Submariner 1166613LB for over 2 years and since have been offered or have owned around several sports SS models but cant part with the bluesy. Its sunburst dial and look has a unique persona and believe its one of the finest looking models in the Rolex range.
I am on a list for the Daytona and other models that are sought after but dont believe I will accept the other models as wont part with one of the finest looking models Rolex have produced. Am I biased or is there a fan of the model that would empathise on this. |

I'm sure there are many like you. I would take the bluesy over a Daytona any day of the week.

The Bluesy is a great looking watch, it's on my radar, waiting for the call.

I'd take almost any other Rolex over the Daytona, from an aesthetic point of view. Of course, that's just my particular taste.

I agree with you that the Bluesy is a stunning watch. It is the most “preppy” watch on the market. Of course, this style is loved by many ... and “too much“ for others. I was lucky to “get the call” from my AD for a black Daytona last Christmas, but (similar to your assessment) it does not capture me as much as my personal favorite - The BLNR.

this was the watch that caught my eye when i first learned about rolex (way before i could afford them) -- and it was my first rolex purchase some 20+ years later, when i was ready to buy one. |

When I was a kid and didn't know anything about watches (except that I loved them), if somebody mentioned the word "Rolex" it was a bluesy that came to my mind. For me it is pure Rolex. Congrats on having found your wrist's soul mate.

I have been fortunate to buy some very nice and expensive pieces. I always look at my blue sub and ask myself “what watch should I wear today that can take the spot of my bluesy”. When I started this journey 4 years ago, and with very little knowledge of Rolex or any other brand, I knew that I wanted one, to me, when I thought about Rolex, I always pictured the blue & gold sub. It is my daily and the one with the most meaning to me. I like them all, but it’s hard to forget your 1st!

It's fortunate that you've found "the One" that you actually love. I'm still hunting for mine. Getting an Exp2 today, I hope to feel the same :-)

I wore a Bluesy for 15 years. It’s so unique and will not be mistaken for any other model. The new BLNR is my ultimate Rolex for me. It embodies everything I like about the “Rolex Look”. The Bluesy is coming back and is on a upswing in popularity. David SW just commented on TT models.
IMHO, Rolex got absolutely everything right with the new BLNR. That seems to be becoming a rare thing these days. When you find the right watch and connect with it, you kinda stop looking.

I'm a big 116613LB fan and own one. It's a lovely watch. I don't like the Daytona, so I empathise, although from a slightly different perspective.
