Nice score, glad you got one early. Enjoy it bro.

Congratulations

Thanks for the LB comparison picture. There seems to be a lot of varying opinions on whether the dials are the same or not.

Having done a side by side comparison today I can confirm the green bezel is the exact same colour as the previous model. The black dial however makes the new total watch experience ‘less green’. An obvious comment but this is likely why some people perceive the bezels to be different.

Okay, fellas...the pics are still no great shakes (perhaps I need to quit watches for awhile and invest in a legit camera haha), but what I’m trying to show is the bracelet comparison. Again, the case size difference is so minuscule, it’s almost a nonissue. Instead, look at how much more comparable the new Sub bracelet is to the SD43 as opposed to the Sub LB. It’s most obvious when comparing the clasps.

Are the blue TT Submariner bezels the same colour or did they fix it*


*I say because it matches perfectly and was designed for the first original 116613LB flat blue dial which ran for 3years before it got the sunburst dial similar to the old 16613LB. The cartoon blue bezel of the sunburst 116613LB made me fall out of love with it and I sold mine after 2yrs of daily wear. I was hoping the would make the 126613LB with a darker bezel.

Congrats on your new Cermit.

thesharkfactor - new LB is same dial (sunburst blue) as the previous generation maxi-case, and the blue on the bezel is also the same. For me, personally, I wouldn't buy the new LB because I'm fond of the gold text as opposed to the new, white text.

So looking closely at these two together, it appears to me the new one with slightly thinner lugs but 1MM larger and slightly wider bracelet next to the 116613LB which has slightly fatter lugs but 1MM smaller and a slightly narrower bracelet, look pretty much the same. Obviously the writing on the dial is different. My wife walked in while I was looking at these up on my big monitor and she said, oh someone bought two of those?? Haha...

I genuinely appreciate all of ya - for real! Thank you for your direction and advice over the last couple of years. Until I get my act together with pics, BogdanS is the best with measurements:

Really like it. Overall dimensions do not look all that different but the dial does look more substantial, which works great with the black/green contrast.

Congrats and enjoy!
