I posted this in another thread, but it seemed appropriate to re-post today. Have you ever noticed how close in color the Bluesy is to Duke blue?

Enjoying the sunshine today on the Westcoast. Wearing my favourite blue watch in support for the Vancouver Canucks in tonight's Stanley Cup Playoffs!

I bought fresh from a new shipment from my AD. Once I got home, I realized it has the cyclops with the not so magnified date window. They have been rolling out with a few different models having this issue. Not a big deal to me

Not sure what you are referring to. I just bought a new 116613 and the cyclops magnification looks absolutely normal/standard for Rolex.

The magnification on your cyclops looks fine. However, some new models over the past year of so have a smaller magnification. This issue is well documented on this forum.

It's a gorgeous watch. I've only worn mine twice or so. Not sure if it fits my style or not so I started hunting a trade but may wind up keeping it after all. It is a rather unique piece.

I think it's more Kentucky Blue 😄. Congrats on the national title. I wish we could of played you in the title game. I think you would of still won, but would of been a great match up.

It looks amazing on your wrist. A definite keeper.

Was able to grab a shot in the sunshine today. Still in awe every time I look at this dial.

Im loving mine. This is the most beautiful watch Rolex has ever made INMHO. I never get tired of it and my friends who could care less about watches say its their favorite of all the ones I've owned.

Aside from my Day-Date, the 116613 LB gets the most comments from people around me. It truly is a stunning piece. The best move Rolex did for this watch was to change the flat dial to the sunburst dial.
