116613LB too "blingy"

I always thought that the combination of that blue with the yellow gold is really eye catching and not something i would like to broadcast. What do you guys think? Anyone out there with a bluesy and agree or disagree?

As I've posted in three threads in as many days, the LB is not blingy. It's richly coloured, textured and beautiful. My Z-Blue is twice as flashy.

If it goes with you it goes with everything you wear. Although I loved the Blusey, I didn't commit to buy until I saw it against me. It worked.

Great looker, It's a little blingy for me but thats just my personal choice as I'm not into TT but there's really no problem pulling it off.

I had one for 18 years and wore it less and less over the years due to the fact that I though it became too blingy.

In 2015 I traded it towards a BLNR and never looked back.

It might stand out as a little blingy but if you have other watches, you can rotate it. The bluesy is the one watch I go back and forth with. Sometimes I feel close to adding and other times i don’t want to add it.

Bottom line is get what you really want. If you are that unsure it may not be the “one” for you.

Yes, it has more wrist presence/bling, but who cares? Great watch!

Not too blingy at all. When the sun hits that dial it’s absolutely stunning !

Nothing like a diamond pave all YG piece, no not at all. A bit blingy? Its a Rolex dude... so yes, but no overly so. I've seen quite a few of these in the wild and while I'd not personally ever buy a TT watch, to me this model comes off as very nice and a good mix of colors/tones.

What's blingy is all relative. It's def blingy but I wouldn't say too blingy.

Definitely commands attention. The blue is bright and gold....well gold is gold and attracts attention.

You will be noticed wearing this watch 10000%

Such a misnomer.
I have only noticed one person ever noticing my Bluesy and it turned out to be a a Rolex enthusiast.
I guess only in a Rolex forum can people be so self centered to think the average person gives a hoot about a watch someone is wearing.
Trust me, unless a WIS, no one ever notices or cares.

It's certainly no rainbow Daytona, but, yes, compared to a straight S/S Sub, it could be seen as just a little......'brash''.


....nice looking watch though.
