That watch is beyond beautiful.

[@thepanel2935]

Did any of the blue Submariners ever have a *_metallic bezel,_* not the ceramic looking bezel? (I'm talking about the bezel, not the dial face. I prefer metallic, not ceramic, in both the dial _and_ the bezel.)

[@thepanel2935]

I've discovered that it's the *_16618_* model of Submariner from the 1990s - *_no_* ceramic or 'cerachrom' - just an _anodized_ blue bezel and metallic _'sunburst'_ blue dial. Magic!

[@garrett696]

Nothing says stealth wealth more than a full gold watch with blue bezel and dial! Lovely piece though

Stunning watch!!!!

[@greenrush4313]

I am considering getting this watch next week. Its a 24 date. Whats your thought on price and future of this watch?

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

awesome the new ivmm gold sub rolex submariner watch !!!!

[@givepeaceachance5834]

My AD just got one of these in, it's sitting in the window. The demand for gold pieces is not that high.

[@WatchesOnYou]

Without an “exhibition only” sticker?

[@givepeaceachance5834]

@@WatchesOnYou yes

[@yashkhemka21]

Same here. My AD offered this to me instead of the Full Gold Sky Dweller. Have said a No. I dont think the demand for Full Gold Submariners is very high. A FG Daytona or Sky Dweller would be a much better investment.

[@mrwilliamwonder]

@@yashkhemka21 that’s a good call, I’d say.

Does the Gold Submariner 126618LB have the same ceramic pin sleeves like the 228238 Day-Date 40?

[@gabriellesperance4681]

Yes it does

[@josephantolin9298]

​@gabriellesperance4681 how do you know? I've never heard or read anywhere that it does... I thought the ceramic sleeves were only reserved for the presidential bracelet.

[@greenrush4313]

@@josephantolin9298 yes it is and isnt

$38K MSPR at AD 2 years ago 2022. USA Minnesota Gray Market $55K. WOW!! Now in 2024 at AD MSRP $41K. Gray Market 2024 similar to MSRP $41K. Sub. New model. 2024. Yellow Gold. Bluesy!!!

[@greenrush4313]

good deal

[@unclejonga]

Lovely piece but I prefer this in the two tone Bluesy.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Had the two tone. I recently sold it for the solid gold.

[@greenrush4313]

@@theonlyredspecial mee too the 2 tone is cheap looking

[@clarkgwozdecki6782]

Beautiful watch but to bad the updated 3235 movement is a not as good as the old 3135

[@theonlyredspecial]

Said no one ever.

[@wristfulthings9676]

Nice video on this watch! Think these look great but prefer the black dial. Also agree the size of the new version wears better on smaller wrists.

[@amangrayfilms1538]

I like the royal blue sun burst dial. I don't like the blue of the bezel. It looks cheap. I like the Chromalight hour markers. I don't like the polished bracelet. This watch isn't perfect for my taste. It's close.

[@rafaelmcallestar484]

I like 18 Kt Gold, but for some reason I think the all Gold Submariner over powers and takes away from Blue Dial, . . . . Two-Tone "Bluesey" all day!!

[@josephantolin9298]

I agree with you. However, the two-tone bluesey gives off, "I couldn't afford the full 18K Gold Sub" vibes. Go big or go home.
