Congratulations!
Very accurate description of this understated reference.
I have mine close to two years now and love it same as the first day I got it(I payed retail).
Same as you, while historically the previous model is more significant, it was a little bit to loud for my style but, as soon as this was released, it was love and new I need to get it.
It fits in every situation or environment, now you just need to get the LV

Promise, you won’t be disappointed!🥂
I must have been on a Rolex fever
While browsing intensely last night I’ve decided to pick up the Rolex 126619LB today at a local grey dealer. The price was too good to be true in the resale market. The stock photo on the website had always captured my attention. That blue bezel insert al...
A great sub for sure
Thank you for sharing your in depth impressions. Considering where steel prices are, I personally find precious metal models more attractive, even if I don't have any rolex in the stable. Wear it in good health!
Thanks Arronax :-)
Well, I think steel Rolexs are always going to be in demand. They are the bread and butter stuff for the brand. Also relatively affordable. The gold pieces however are expensive, and are priced accordingly with where the price of gold is. In that regard i...
Thanks brother
The feeling on the wrist is sublime. Never owned a precious metal sports diver. This is the first, and could very well be my last. Best Gatsby
Would love to know what you eventually pick my friend
Always fascinates me to be a part of someone’s watch collecting journey. I think at some point I will begin writing posts on my watch collecting journey here. It’s been two and half decades of serious watch collecting, I’m definitely going to want to pen ...
I would love to read your journey as well! As for me one thing is for sure I do want a white gold Rolex in my collection. The DD was the obvious first choice originally but now I am less sure…
I love the other options like your or the Pepsi blue dial which looks similar to the steel version to the untrained eye…
It’s a great looking watch, wonderfully captured in your pictures.
I have tried it a couple of times and I really like it. As you say, the grey market prices are attractive too. Enjoy your watch. All the best, Jon
Thank you Jon for your kind words
I’m still trying to understand it. Rolex is all about the nuances, the little details. Nothing that complex but takes time for one’s appreciation to set in. And as with time perceptions always change. Best Gatsby
You’ll be happy with it.
The bezel is a really nice tone of blue, and as you state, they can be had well below retail. I also bought mine on the secondary market a while ago. It’s flies below the radar as well. ...
Wow :-) great wrist shot sir
I’m so glad that you thought the same as I did. I now know that I’m not insane at the very least lol. I just put the sub next to the GMT in stainless steel. The subtle difference between both metals is truly gratifying. I love the warmth of (white) gold. ...
Congratulations!

Great shot of the watch at the tracks!
I hear you on the LV mate. Correct me if I’m wrong but most people would tend to buy the LV first before the LB if given a choice. I went the opposite way. Going to try and see if it actually changes anything in terms of how I feel about their ownership. ...
Thank you MR
You are way too kind with your words. I do agree that the combination of white gold and blue accents typically would capture my attention. And in this instance too much of it that I ended up buying the watch. Best Gatsby
Thank you Greg
Hope you’ve been well mate and nice “seeing you” on the forum. Best Gatsby
Congratulations!
Thanks for the review and write-up...I hear you about the evolution of our collecting and tastes as we 'mature'...lol Great addition to your collection!
Ahhh Dimardi….
The evolution of our tastes and collecting…that’s a big and interesting topic we must all discuss. I would however not like to discuss how we’ve all “matured” lol. It’s better to revel in our youth 😂 Best Gatsby
I saw one in real life and have been impreased by it ever since
Beautiful this is. Chk
Congratulations, it’s a..
beautiful watch. In my opinion you can never go wrong buying a Rolex!
I’m with you Musashi
Totally utilitarian for almost all occasions. If Bond can wear a sub on nato with a tuxedo, anything is possible with Rolex. Best Gatsby
Merci my dear Mon Ami
I have come to love heavy metal sports watches. I was listening to U2 all day while wearing this watch. I love the heft of a white gold sub. Best Gatsby
Excellent time piece. Beautiful and the steel top notch. Surgical stainless steel. 😊
Happy for you. Congratulations, good choice. 👍 Geross.
Christianch if you’re reading this
I just read your post written years ago: I am reliving your memory in the flesh right now. Best Gatsby
I am! 👏congratulations for your amazing watch !
thank you for the trip down the memory lane. I still own the watch and I will probably never sell it. The submariner is *the* most versatile rolex. You can wear it anytime, anywhere with any outfit. It is very robust, discreet yet luxurious. I have some a...
Lovely lovely shot mate :-))))
More shots of your beautiful watch please ! Best Gatsby
gorgeous 👏 Love this version
A great evolution of the schlumpf...enjoy it and wear it in great health! Christian
