Side-by-side: 116613LB & 126613LB

[Cru Jones]

So similar yet so different.

Same, same but different! 100 points for the 126613 LB! Nuances but so much more refreshing! Love the Bluesy since long, but only the new model made me a buy!

I have the 41mm Bluesy. I like the white text better in the 41mm version. Just feels a bit younger.

I've wanted the Sub TT LB since 2019, but I hesitated because of the supercase. When the Sub41 TT LB was announced, I had to have it!

I still prefer the fat lugs and the gold text.

I was looking for a mint 116618LB for many many months before eventually finding a NOS one. The older ones are getting harder and harder to find especially ones in good condition/like new condition.

Me too. I sold it last year and regret it. It was the perfect everyday watch.

Yeah, I hear you. I’ve long admired the the Bluesy from afar, but something about the 126613LB “clicked” for me, and now I dream of it. :-)

I don’t know if it’s “younger”, but for me it feels crisp & clean and balances well against the YG.

Something that’s great about Rolex: the details. Each model has its fans. I’m glad you found that one that makes you happy. I love the lugs on my 116610LV.

I’ve always loved the Bluesy. I like the white text slightly better, but I’d be very happy with the previous generation too.

like the 41 size, like the gold text better though

White text cleaner but it's a personal choice.

I’ve always liked the bluesy but wasn’t a fan of the gold text, but when the new 41mm came out with the white tex I got one strait away amazing dial.

I liked the gold text better on the old one

gold text looks better.

The gold text definitely looks better
