Not on the Rolex website anymore!

So I have to assume discontinued 😁

A year ago I was considering buying another Rolex. I was looking at a Smurf, a rose gold Yachtmaster on rubber and this steel-platinum but with a blue dial. Money is rarely just busting out

of my pockets so eventually the blue steel-platinum came to the forefront. Eventually I decided to keep my money. When that watch was gone I was sad. I'm still sad. Nice one Nico.

Weight is indeed not an issue, but if I may suggest an alternative ...

I recently acquired the Cookie Monster, and I love it on the wrist. I personally prefer the black dial - blue bezel contrast, but this is all very personal of course. The Smurf is more of an established classic. Either way, you cannot go wrong.

Experience, thoughts on Smurf — 116619LB

Thinking about adding to my collection and interested in pros/cons? Love the dial of course, but certainly heavy on the wrist — a factor? Anyone own it and let go for some reason, or wouldn’t even entertain the idea of parting with it? __________________

I absolutely love it.

I had the Smurf with “had” being the defining word 😁. I personally prefer this one. It flies under the radar as well.

Smurf for me!

I still regret not pulling the trigger when it was around. I think what bothered me a little was that the hands "felt" a bit skinny compared to the dial ...

I certainly appreciate the warmth of the metal of the Smurf.

But I find the green dial of the hulk just so captivating. But honestly, I prefer both of these!

I love, love blue…my favorite color…however…

I would go with the Hulk here, I have the BLNR and think that is just the right amount of blue, with the black, and may be in my top 3 watches ever that I have owned, and I have owned a lot of watches…I feel the Smurf is too much of the blue that I love,

Assuming both have the same value, from horological importance I’ll vote for the Smurf.

Both unique and special as Submariners go, however the Smurf is the “first” ceramic bezel Sub and also the first white gold Sub. The Hulk on the other hand while again unique, it’s an homage to the anniversary Kermit… But one can’t go wrong here, it’s a m
