26470red/black for 116618lb ???

Simple dilemma.....looking to jazz things up a little.

Would you trade the new 42 ROO 26470 for a Rolex YG sub with the blue sunburst dial ? I would have to throw in a little $$$ but nothing major.

I have the gold version of the 26470 and would keep that piece. Also have the James Cameron DSSD deep blue for the SS daily driver.

Any other suggestions ? May consider a smurf as well.....

TIA !

I wouldn't do it but that's just me. The 42 mm ROO is more attractive than a gold Sub, as far as my tastes are concerned. Obviously a very personal decision, so good luck.

Yes I would do it. The dial on the 116618LB is beautiful and the watch is very wearable with the glidelock bracelet.

I would consider the smurf as I find it stunning but not the YG with sun burst dial, it's nice but not a huge fan...

Absolutely. I'd also consider the WG as well.

Yes, that is beautiful, and you have a RG AP piece as well, so they make a perfect pair.

'Jazz things up' - get the 44mm ROO 26401RO--that will solve all issues.
