Yeah, I see that. My bad.

Is it the same sunburst dial though? Doesn't look quite as vibrant as the sunburst on the 6 digit.

Smurf everytime, and I'm a fan of all color gold watches but imo the Smurf is the special one out of the 3.

I’ll second that, and unless I’m mistaken, gold is actually a little more corrosion resistant than SS making it perfect for a dive. By the above logic Rolex needs to start producing sport models in only tungsten or tungsten carbide.

I have owned all of the PM Submariners at one point and if I was to go back it would be to the YG with the blue sunburst dial. Stunning watch.

YG LN for me. I might add an LB at some point down the road, but for an only PM Sub, it’s the LN for me. TBH, it’s really a toss up. When I got my YG SubC, I already had a TT LB (smurf dial, I miss this watch BTW).

Yellow Gold, Blue... would love to have one! I would take a WG smurf, but not interested in the Yellow Gold with Black (stunning watch, just doesn't do it for me).
