yup, the bluesy still has the gold crown.

Can't believe the replacement of the smurf.

Yes, seems like the SS crown in the early TT pic leaks were a mistake.

Nice recap

Still shocked the WG doesn’t carry a blue bezel. It really really should have something extra of the SS green.

It makes the new black bay blue look even better.

Will be popular like always,since 1988 .

Prefer the gold lettering on the 16613 and 116613LB however.

If they included gold lettering on the black dialed version it would have become much more popular .

The white dial text matches the date wheel. The stark whiteness particularly on Day Date wheels without lumeplots has got my attention lately. Stoked. Need to see more.

Thanks for sharing. Not sure if I caught it right, but at around 1:31, it seems like he said the taper is 1mm wider. So 21mm to 17mm taper?

That would be the same dimensions as the Expll

Thanks!

Looking like 21-17 taper is the implementation for the 41mm watches.

This is the only thing I was curious about, to see if they changed it any this year. The gold always seemed a bit ‘off’ to me in comparison to the actual gold metal.

Why oh why did they remove the gold lettering? Gives it such a different look and not a good one

Agreed. Blue dial should have gold text. The white is a no go for myself.

Thanks for the share. I still think, in my very biased opinion, that the Bluesy is the best looking Sub!

Omg, they finally put white text?! Wow, I may get a bluesy instead of a plain black/black then. Along with all the perfect upgrades they did to the sub this year, this is quite possibly my favorite watch of recent years. I honestly never thought they’d deviate from the gold writing and I *hated* it.
