That gold gilt print is so understated and classy. Older version is preferred as Rolex is cutting corners going white. The 3135 is bulletproof.

Thanks for the video, insightful and straight to the point 👍.

I recently upgraded from the 11 series to the 12 but it just doesnt feel right on my wrist. I think i prefer the 11 series better and wish i hadnt let it go

I've been wanting a Bluesy since 2019. However, I wasn't a fan of the supercase with fat lugs and that was holding me back. When the Sub41 126613lb was announced in Sep 2020, my prayers were answered and I pulled the trigger. This is my favourite piece in my humble collection. Having said that, had I liked and owned the previous 116613lb, I wouldn't have upgraded to the latest one.

And the new one has the new movement inside giving it 70 hours of reserve! Great vid. Either one for me.

Did they upgrade the movement on the newer one

I didn’t notice the white script before but I like it. Hopefully one will arrive soon at my dealer.

stunning watch - i was offered one and as you mentioned, in the current environment, I have not worn a dressier watch many times at all in last 2 years. Enjoy, Gorgeous!!

I have the first generation of the ceramic bezel 116613LB, AR coating underneath the sapphire crystal, solid links, glidelock clasp, gold text on the dial and the now-discontinued Maxi case. The newer generation after that the 126613LB has AR coating on the top side of the sapphire crystal also which can scuff and scratch. Also it has painted on white text not gold texts not like the previous model. WHICH WOULD BE THREE COLORS COMBINATION NOT TWO TONES. The case size basically is the same. It's just that they made the bracelet wider on the top but, the dimensions are still the same as to the lugs if not longer. I also purchased the 126610LN to have the different dimensions matching colors basically.

How much Malaysia set... Price....

nice rolex submariner bluesy watch - can you sort the difference ?

The dial on the new reference looks better than on the old version and the proportions are optimized as well, smaller lugs, 1mm bigger bracelet. Would always go for the new one - no brainer

Lol 😂 hope not covid too, thank for the videos.

Is the blue tone of the bezel and dial exactly the same? I don't see any difference.

Chris, would you say the dial colour is exactly the same?

The bracelet is 1mm wider on the new one, and therefore the lugs are slimmer.

The new one utilize the 3235 caliber.

Is the clasp larger on the new one?

Gold text by far

The lugs are clearly thinner on the 126613LB.

The white print is much nicer imo. It freshens the watch and matches all the white on the dial. The older gold print is too old looking.

lugs tapper much more on the new one

New movement

Another difference is the "Sun-burst" Dial. I am surprised you can not see that.

You are just keeping them for the person who will buy them and actually wear them.
