Just picked up a "W" serial number Bluesey, what caliber movement does
it have inside 3185? Also what reasons make this model appeal to so many
Rolex Aficionados versus other Rolex models? Work can be a bit slow,
just thinking and hopeing I made a wise choice.

I'll start NO other blue dial color in the world can compete

Any opinions and insight would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all

It has the 3135 movement inside one of the most rugged rolex movements ever

You did a great choice i think that the blue colour makes it so popular and it is a wonderful colour in my opinion

Rolexitis · 7 August 2008, 01:09 AM

Everyday I think about flipping my SS Sub for a Bluesy.....I just don't have the additional cash needed to add to it.

You've got a real stunner.

jasonbellevue · 7 August 2008, 01:16 AM

What's not to like? I think it's one of the most beautiful watch Rolex ever made.

Here's my Z-series Bluesy

...and my T-series Bluesy

I disagree. I'd take a 3/6/9 blue dial AK or Expy1 over a Bluesy anyday. I'd also take a blue dial DJ SS or WG over it as well.

But then again I don't like gold, and haven't worn gold jewelery in over a decade.

Hey, you asked for opinions.

Not bad everything is fine

I went on vacation and it was relaxing

Still charging up my batteries for the next academic semester

It's all about the BLUE and why the new Sub bluesy COULD be a bummer. Hope not, but by going ceramic they MAY not have been able to recreate that beautiful cobalt blue.

Gold and blue, and gold, blue, and steel just look great together. That's why they sell a ton of them too.

Air King? They still sell them? Just kidding. Solid starter watch - perfect for kids and small adults.

Great pics, particularly like the glint on the the dial of the first pic, now that's how "blue" is meant to look.

buz-lh · 7 August 2008, 06:22 AM

Big Hat that is a beauty. I only have one Jason, am I deprived? Do both of yours get wrist time?
For me the watch has many different personalities depending on the lighting. A lot like me,

Jimbits76 · 7 August 2008, 06:32 AM

Jason those pics are so hot...the watch is steaming and sizzling!!!!!!!!!

Same goes to Buz.

Great pix...great watches!

shoppy · 7 August 2008, 06:38 AM

Great photos, looks stunning. I looked at one the only thing that put me off was the bracelet felt to light for the watch. I guess I have been spoilt with SEl bracelets.

Simmy69 · 7 August 2008, 07:37 AM

I have to say that I have wanted one for over 20 years and now I have a beautiful M serno that my wife got me for my 40th B-day. I think that the Bluesey is iconic of Rolex, at least for me and I wear my everyday. I am just trying to get used to the idea that it now has scratches on it.

Vic Diehl · 7 August 2008, 11:34 AM

Saw this one here on Nantucket

Vic Diehl · 7 August 2008, 11:36 AM

The three together

mickeydainish · 7 August 2008, 12:43 PM

Very nice pics of bluesy you all.... :-)

Road Warrior · 7 August 2008, 01:29 PM

That's a gorgeous watch, Matt. I didn't know that you had an 18K Bluesy, I wonder what the weight difference is between my 16613 and yours.

Yes, you are Buz, now go get another one.

...kidding aside, the newer Bluesy, gets more wrist time.

Wow, I've never heard words like hot, steaming and sizzling being used to describe my watches, you're making me hungry.

Thanks Jimbo, I appreciate the kind words my friend.

Z-Sub · 7 August 2008, 02:30 PM

It is the best looking blue dial I've seen so far.

Andad · 7 August 2008, 02:45 PM

The 3186 hides inside this one.

pwrslider · 7 August 2008, 05:04 PM

great choice!! I miss my Bluesy...at the RSC..due to come out in 2 weeks!

The 16613 has had SEL's since late 99 or 2000. Hollow center links though.

f16570 · 7 August 2008, 07:45 PM

Tried one on at the weekend, did not sing for me, yet i think it is agreat looking watch.

Thanks. In an informal "heft" assessment with a TT GMT-IIC it seems a bit heavier despite a bit less mass in the case.
You want me to weigh it? Let me know.

Only the TT has hollow links by the way.

jerry db · 7 August 2008, 11:05 PM

The blue colour is beautiful like ocean, sky or Levi's jeans ;)
