I'm pretty certain the next watch is going to be a 16618 Submariner. I previously had a number of 16613 Submariners with blue dial, black dial and with a gold Serti dial but I always would have preffered the silver Serti dial. However, when it comes to 16618, I'm not sure if it better suits the gold or silver Serti dial best? Let's see what the poll says.

I would be trading up with my 126710BLRO, one special watch for another.

Pics for example only..

Personally, for that generation Sub in all gold, I prefer the LB blue dial.

Good luck with your choice!

Had a TT Serti with champagne dial. That is the only Serti dial for a full PM. The silver Serti dial only looks appropriate on the TT model. I would go either Blue or champagne Serti dial with your choices.

Lovely.. had a similar one myself..

I love my blue 16618

jb335 · 22 January 2025, 05:29 AM

The LB is great and the safe choice, but that gold serti dial is my favorite. Super cool and you will likely never see someone else wearing one.

georgekart · 22 January 2025, 06:06 AM

My preferences are LB>silver Serti>LN>gold Serti in that order. I feel like serti works a lot better on the TT LB. On full gold nothing beats the classic blue dial.

Flex368 · 22 January 2025, 06:07 AM

Gold Serti dial for the 16618.

If you decide to go blue dial, I'd look for a 116618LB as the Glidelock is hard to beat on a heavy watch like this.

16613 18K/SS Serti, I LOVE wearing mine.

GMTmatt · 22 January 2025, 08:26 AM

I think the black bezel looks best on the Serti dial.

Oytun · 22 January 2025, 08:45 AM

LB on 16618.. Blue & yellow looks amazing

MDR143 · 22 January 2025, 01:11 PM

I vote for silver!

Johnnnymac · 22 January 2025, 02:38 PM

LB. Hands-down. Blue dial on the all gold sub. It’s amazing.

Bxtek · 22 January 2025, 02:41 PM

The blue wins it for me! That color dial and bezel against the YG is such a stunning look!

Bazil · 22 January 2025, 03:18 PM

Blue all day long, but the Serti is something different and does look good, so I'd have either tbh ...

Joearch · 22 January 2025, 04:11 PM

Gold + Black is the way

Watchdog · 22 January 2025, 04:17 PM

Blue

1William · 23 January 2025, 12:22 AM

I have owned them all and for a just straight out great looking watch the LB is the one. Daily wear is the LN. I have moved away from any gem watches but I had a run where I really like them.

brandrea · 23 January 2025, 12:25 AM

I prefer the black version
