I'm feeling jealous! The dial options for the men's watches are amazing. I feel the DJ dials in the women's sizes are much more reserved! The Sub dial is awesome!

I personally think the sunburst blue on the 116613LB or 116618LB is the best blue Rolex produces. If you have ever held one direct in the sunlight or bright light its mesmerizing.

The shade of blue changes as a functon of lighting. Here it is in sunlight. It goes from a smokey bluish-gray to this bright chambray blue.

I found it wore surprisingly big. My watches are all 40-42mm for reference
