Well, I just sent an email to Peter to see if Rolex is still filling the existing orders for 116619LB’s or if not if I could be in for one of the early 126619LB’s since I’ve had a deposit down for 9 months. Not sure what to do if they don’t fill the 116619LB orders honestly. With the black dial, the 126619LB won’t look too different than my BLNR. It will once you see it outside. The hue of the gold is way different IMHO, and the blue is lighter than the Smurf. Different case, size... just no clue how that manifests on the wrist. Not sure which one I like better. Tough call. I know which one I want! |

I had all but forgotten that you had the deposit/order in for the Sub. You are right, the new one is too much like your BLNR. In that case, you are likely better just keeping the BLNR. Just my opinion, but it's a lot of money to be spent on a white gold watch, at least the 116619LB had the blue dial. It will be interesting to see if any/many current orders for the various Sub models are going to get filled. Ever thought about the Sea Dweller? |

Peter doesn't know if they are going to fill existing orders or not. He's checking with his rep. If not, there are lots of choices to consider: 1) the new WG sub with blue bezel / black dial 2) a 40mm WG DD with blue roman dial or black stick dial 3) go full baller mode and get the RG Rootbeer GMT 4) pull back a little and go for two watches - RG YM and one of the new subs (date or ND) 5) see if I can get moved up on the white dial daytona list and one of the new subs (date or ND) Decisions, decisions... |

Rose gold GMT and order an oyster flex for it.

Baco Noir "3) go full baller mode and get the RG Rootbeer GMT". It is stunning, and one of the very few GMT models I have managed to see in real life. I have seen it a couple of times at my AD. While I realize that jealousy is one of the ugliest human traits, I will do my best to simply feel very, very happy for you if you settle on that one!  I actually tried on both yellow gold and red gold Day Dates, and was really pleasantly surprised how little "bling" the Everose has. Good luck in your decision!!

I got to try on the 2-tone in NYC and I loved it! I think the full baller watch modded on the Oyster Flex could be a smashing combo! |

I agree, but either way it is likely THE nicest GMT watch I have ever seen!! |

I've got a TT white diamond dial Daytona I've been thinking of moving. |
