[@Odat]

The blue dial 2 tone Sub is the absolute best. No other blue dial Rolex makes has the same effect. The Bluesy is a gem!

[@TheLumeRoom]

One of the best blue dials in the entire game

[@Nexus.Achiles]

I've been wearing my Bluesy for the past 9 months everytime I go out. Such a fun watch to wear if you're not against a bit of a showy piece. When I feel like wearing something more discreet I fall back on my platinum dial Yacht-Master which completely flies under the radar. When I want something more beefy, I put on the SD43 for that badass look. So I kind of have most corners covered, the showy Sub, the classy Sub and the badass Sub.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Great lineup there, all bases covered! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@thaiexcellencemobile5816]

I got the 2 tone with black dial, how you feel about the micro scratches on the bracelet? i feel its an incredible scratch magnet.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@@thaiexcellencemobile5816 Nice! Yeah they defo pick up scratches but its a mirror polished precious metal. I just wear it and enjoy it

Bluesy all the way ❤️

[@TheLumeRoom]

I hear ya!

[@DinAustralia]

Definitely the blue dial. Super easy to read, everything appears so much crisper to my eye. Additionally, it would be a more versatile wear - very easy to sport this blue dial with two tone with casual, semi casual even, and a dress occasion requiring a suit. A lovely watch.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Good choice! Bluesy is still one of my all time faves. Love that watch!

[@DinAustralia]

@@TheLumeRoom Couldn't agree more. Million dollar question: Would you swap a 2021 GMT Master II 126710BLNR for a 2022 Blusey?

[@TheLumeRoom]

@David I'm lucky enough to own both and I love them for different reasons. It's up to yourself but generally I don't trade or sell any Rolex as I feel they are blessings.

Ordered mine, will be than the 3rd blue sub. Sold my first bluesy as I got the 116618LB. Sold that as full yellow gold was too much for my liking and now going back to the new 126613LB. Congrats to yours, wear it in good health and thanks for this vid. Cheers mate

👍s up for your great review. I’ve purchased a V serial 2009 ‘Bluesy’ this week with the Flat Blue ‘Smurf’ Dial, partially stickered & unworn, from a reputable local Ex-Rolex 🇬🇧 AD (they were the original supplier of the watch who had just bought it back from a regular client of theirs). I had been considering adding a ‘Bluesy’ to my collection for years & slightly preferred the ‘Smurf’ dial. Apart from missing ‘Hang Tags’ it was complete with a blank undated warranty card & original box. As the ‘Smurf’ dial was only in production for 3 years & I was really pleased to find one in such condition. I’ve worn the watch continually now for 72 hours & was delighted to find it well within COSC specification (it has gained less than 3 seconds)

[@TheLumeRoom]

The Rolex models always run great. Wear that Smurf well and enjoy it!

[@anthonygray7012]

Had the hulk and looked amazing but when holding it against my TT Daytona, didn’t like the weight of just stainless. I let Hulk go and received my Bluesy from AD a few weeks ago. It’s the best Sub and the solid gold one doesn’t have the contrast. Also fancy the new TT GMT with Jubilee, black grey dial.

[@TheLumeRoom]

A man after my heart. Agree completely 👌🏻

[@michele_]

I agree with you with the white writing on the dial

[@Anonymouslyme1]

I prefer the 40mm ceramic sub, not a fan of the 41mm case with the wide bracelet. I can see why they did it but the 40mm sub looks like a proper piece of equipment, a tool. That really is gone forever now it’s just a show piece. I have the new Explorer II where they did the same trick with the lugs and bracelet but I think the bracelet looks over-bearing (there is just too much bracelet) and not as comfortable.

[@TheLumeRoom]

Fair point about them looking less tooly. Have they went for a happier medium perhaps? I actually find the 41mm more comfortable

[@Anonymouslyme1]

@@TheLumeRoom I guess the Explorer II is another level again, the bracelet is wider and the watch head is bigger. Always very conscious of how much bracelet steel is in contact with the wrist, I suppose it’s not uncomfortable but more that it’s very noticeable. It’s never a watch you forget you are wearing, having said that I do love it.

[@TheLumeRoom]

@Anonymouslyme1 A wider bracelet means there's less wobble on wrist. Small changes I guess

[@rafaelmcallestar484]

I beleive your 100% right. The Solid Yellow Gold does Over Power the Bluesey Dial. The Two Tone Bluesey seems have more balance and let's the Blue Dial do most of the talking. I've heard in person the Two Tone is even more impressive then looking at in a photo or video.

About 14-15k now lol

[@AlephThree]

I am in the market for a submariner right now. Leaning towards the Hulk (or possibly new Kermit). With the bluesy, I feel that it looks like you want a gold Rolex but can’t afford it (like driving a Porsche Boxter because you can’t afford a 911). Also, having seen a gold Submariner on someone with pale white skin like me, it didn’t look that great. However, each to their own, and if you’re lucky enough to afford any Submariner, you’re in a good place in life.

[@TheLumeRoom]

If you see someone with a Rolex or Porsche and the first thing that comes to your mind is "That person can't afford...", there's an issue. £11.5k for the Bluesy. Not sure I'd call that a compromise. I've tried on and lucky to be able to afford the full gold Subs but find them overbearing. The two tone version is more robust and better looking in my opinion. As you said, each to their own. Good luck on the watch hunt

[@AlephThree]

@@TheLumeRoom For interest, the Porsche example is from a classic Jeremy Clarkson quote: “the only reason you would buy a Boxter is because you can’t afford a 911. So, all you’re doing is advertising the fact that your life hasn’t worked out quite as well as you were hoping”. Harsh - yes. Fair - debatable!
