Incoming from my trusty AD
My collection changed a lot in the past 2 months. After adding the new 126613 LB, I realized how much I prefer the newer dimensions of the 41 mm sub so I sold my 116610 LN, 116610 LV and 116619 LB. It wasn’t easy letting the LV and LB go but I am good with the decision. I then asked my SA to get me the 126619 and he called yesterday to say it arrived. Will pick it up this weekend. Looking forward to putting it on.

I have to admit, when I saw the pics on the Rolex site, I thought "meh, I liked the old all-blue version better."
But if the colors in your pic are an accurate representation, all I can say is "wow, that looks gooooooood!" |

Congrats on the WG 41mm, you are brave! I could not let my 116 LV and 619 go, love those dial/bezel configurations too much

Congrats! Getting what you want and leveraging the current absurd environment to level up. You are a winner in my eyes.
Enjoy the heck out of that fantastic watch |

I have been told the watch is better in person than on pics. I will post pics when I get it on the wrist.

Trust me, I feel ya. It wasn't easy as I think the LV dial is one of the most gorgeous dials. My WG sub had diamonds so I welcome a diamond less dial I can wear frequently. I did own the WG sub for 10 years and since I can't take them with me in death, I choose to wear what I like while I am still kicking! rofl:

I made a lot on those watches so I had a lot left over. I have 3 more pieces that my AD is going to acquire for me. The next one will be the pinnacle of my collection. Cheers Bud!

This is, of course, entirely irrelevant to me, since I can only afford stainless (and only at msrp ). |

Wears larger with better bracelet presence. The watch case looks longer when on and the clasp is more prominent. The 16 version was a great one too but wearing the newer edition really changed my mind quickly. I am not one to make a quick decision on my moving a watch but this just felt right.
