bluesy - former owner?

[Gerardus]

Owned a 5 and 6 digit bluesy. Sold the 5 digit more then 15 years ago. Sold/traded my 116613LB in the summer 2018 because I wanted a DD in my small collection back. Still regret not keeping the 6 digit.

I've had a bluesy in one form or another nearly all the years I've spent collecting watches. I literally fell in love with the watch the first time I laid eyes on it. Hopefully, that will continue in the coming years.

Although I will admit the 5 digit is a beautiful specimen, the bracelet and clasp of the 6 digit seals the deal for me.

I was just about to do this exact same post. Beat me to it.

I had the TT Ceramic and 6 months later tried on the Full gold version, went home with it and sold the TT. I’ll never sell it. And if I couldn’t have afforded it, I’d have always kept the TT. I’ve got some cool watches, but this is always my #1.

And I don’t get the complaints about this watch being loud and not versatile? It’s yellow gold and a flashy blue, it’s ULTRA clear that it’s not a conservative watch right from the get-go. So why buy it if you want a more conservative watch? Go get a Speedmaster or something. That being said, I find it wears best with casual all the way up to semi formal, but never higher than that.

Bought a 116613 LB new from my AD. Sold it back to the a couple of months later. It was a stunning watch but there was just too much going on for my taste. Wouldn’t buy another, but on others it looks great.

Got my 5 digit Bluesy as a gift in 2002 and wore it as my daily all that time. I’m not someone who likes bling and it’s never felt too blingy to me.
I had it in for Service in October and while I was without it I became obsessed with picking up a new SubC date as a 2nd piece. My thought was I would where the SS as a daily and wear the Bluesy when I wasn’t doing physical things.
My AD managed to get me the SS the week before Christmas and although I love it, I’ve found myself splitting wrist time with them. Basically still love the Bluesy on my wrist after all these years...

Had a 116613LB for a year. Gorgeous watch...loved it til I suddenly didn’t anymore. I’m tattooed to the wrist on both arms and the ink, blue sunburst dial and two tone were just...too much. It was a lot going on. May have held onto it if I had a “bare” arm.

biggest regret was selling my 116613LB but I used it to fund my grail, DD40. I now have the itch but will go full YG with the 116618LB

Yes, same here. Beautiful piece.

I had both the aluminium bezel version and the ceramic bezel, sunburst dial version.

They are very handsome watches on their own but just didn't look good on my wrist - not a good match for my skin tone.
