Top row or bottom row?

My daughter happily confirmed what I’m dreaming of.

But what do YOU think?

100%: 126613 LB!!! Such a beauty!

jb335 · 2 February 2022, 07:15 AM

I’d take the GMT. I’m just not a fan of the TT bluesty though. Biased

Exactly the opposite for me, don't like the TT GMT, but for the Bluesy it's a match

CHNR (Rootbeer) is the most gorgeous TT timepiece for Rolex.

Double post.

joeboy · 2 February 2022, 07:35 AM

Not to show bias but instead to help you along. I hope you enjoy whichever way you go.

Just really like the look of the Rootbeer

I had both. Bluesy by a mile.

SDR581 · 2 February 2022, 08:03 AM

126613LB all the way

garyk · 2 February 2022, 08:06 AM

I love my Bluesy but a GMT is very functional especially for traveling.

HogwldFLTR · 2 February 2022, 08:16 AM

I'm a diver and not a time traveler. I'd go for the sub.

Harry-57 · 2 February 2022, 08:17 AM

If it was the 116613LV it would be a dead heat for me.

Agree. I already own the 126613LB. The TT Sub LV would also be an interesting config, should Rolex decide to make one. That would be an epic Sub, IMHO.

ThunderRoad261 · 2 February 2022, 08:32 AM

I had them both, ended up keeping the 126613lb. Both are absolutely stunning watches but I like the color pop more on the Sub. I also have a Pepsi, so the Pepsi satisfies my need for a GMT. The Bluesy works well for me as a more dressier smaller diver, versus my everyday SD43. Either way, cannot go wrong. Go with what speaks to you.

Fifteen · 2 February 2022, 08:38 AM

Older 116613LB reference, but you get the point. Hands down bluesy is better

I have both and like both very much; however the bluesy is much more striking in color.

YoyoGift8 · 2 February 2022, 08:51 AM

I like both but if i have to choose, I’ll take the CHNR.

myporsche · 2 February 2022, 08:51 AM

I like Gold with Black so I would prefer these:

Thanks all for your comments and votes. Great photos, too.

I used to be squarely in the CHNR camp, but with this LB generation’s white text and proportions, I find myself very drawn to the LB in a way I hadn’t before.

Andad · 2 February 2022, 05:07 PM

From another time but still contenders?

I've owned both and still have the Bluesy.
It's a show off kind of watch but I love it

Henrimontgomery · 2 February 2022, 05:37 PM

None. 126613LB gets stale very fast IMO, and the GMT has brown, which I don’t like at all as a color. Either go with full gold for both, or the SS variant.

Cigars&Watches · 2 February 2022, 06:30 PM

Bigmozza · 2 February 2022, 06:34 PM

Both really nice watches but the bluesy is the one for me the new white lettering and the dial is one of best IMO
