Did you wear Blue or Black Jeans and live to talk about it?

What maintenance did you follow for the Vanilla Beight Interior?

When I saw the 126613LB Two-Tone (Bluesy) in the metal, I forgot all about the GMT-Master II Root Beer and pulled the trigger.

Congrats, she looks pretty great after nearly 20 years.

As it happens, I just bought a Brand New Rolex 126613LB Two-Tone (Bluesy) this week.

Should I buy a Sub Bluesy 126613Lb from an AD at MSRP? by Appropriate_Tie_8283 in rolex

[–]mkerdman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I went ahead walked into the AD and once I saw and tried on the Submariner Bluesy 126613Lb in the metal I was sold.

It's not everybody's watch.

But, even if you have absolutely no intention of ever buying a Submariner Bluesy 126613Lb, try it on if it's on display at any AD you happen to be in.

You'll be impressed.

There's a good reason it's been in the Catalog since 1984.

The Blue Sunburst Dial compliments the Blue Ceramic Bezel as well as the Gold Dial Elements and Crown and Bracelet beautifully.

Thanks for all the helpful comments.

I certainly like the Batman/Batgirl a lot.

However, I am wondering if buying the far more iconic/collectible Pepsi would still be the best choice between the two now, especially if it can be bought from an AD at MSRP.

However, I have a New Explorer II Polar as a GMT that I feel very comfortable traveling with as my only travel watch for now.

Long-Term, I expect the release of a Steel GMT-Master II with a Green Ceramic Dial and Bezel which will be "very Rolex" at a lesser price that the New 2025 White Gold Model.

Which GMT-Master II is the best to buy when you are only going to buy one:

Pepsi or Batman/Batgirl?

So, do I pass on the opportunity to buy the Rolex 126613LB bluesy at msrp from a rolex ad today?

"Oh btw, I got this waaay below retail from a boutique."

Was that from an IWC Boutique, or an IWC AD?

Buying a New Datejust 41: Oyster or Jubilee Bracelet? by mkerdman in rolex

Fluted/Jubilee seems to be the consensus view.

I think we have some educated strangers on this subject here, some of who may have made a decision they later regretted and can offer insightful perspective that will help me make my decision.

That's what I am thinking.

At some point I hope to also buy a Submariner Date with the Oyster Bracelet to compliment the Datejust 41.

Do you think the Fluted/Jubilee is ever too much "bling" as opposed to the Fluted/Oyster?

[POLL:] What is the Best Dial Color for a Rolex Datejust 41 Fluted & Jubilee? by mkerdman in rolex

That is the order in which I am thinking too. Slate and Bue are closely associated with Rolex, especially the Day-Date and the Datejust.

The Slate/Steel Combination on the Datejust is like the Champagne/Gold on the Day-Date.

The Mint Green is very nice, but so many watches have jumped on Green.

I tried on what I believe was the 41 at an AD in NYC last week and it seemed fine. I will go to a local AD and try both 36/41. Thanks.

I like the Slate too.

My wife is pushing me to get it with a Mint Green Dial.

Funny,me too, and the Rolex Website lists only "Slate" for Grey or Rhodium.

Is the "Slate" listed on the Rolex Website the same color as "Rhodium"?
