In a hot second. It should be noted that I am not a Bluesy or a 5 digit fan.

I'm a 6 digits Rolex fan, then my answer is yes!

If the bluesy is nice and unpolished I would not do it. If it’s old and beat up then yes

I would not. The 16613 is one of my favorite Rolexes.

No. Bluesy is too beautiful but adding the Polar would make a great pair.

If your heart is over bluesy and you could live without it, go for it. If not, then no. Having owned an EXii, I like bluesy better. I miss the explorer, but would have missed bluesy more.

EXP II

The Bluesy is far too common in the tapioca pudding and green bean line at any local early bird special restaurant.

Keep the 16613. I like the six digit explorer, but the case is too big, and I don't think the dial proportions are quite right.

The TT blue sub however, is perfection.

I don't like either. It comes down to what you like.

Yes, I prefer the 6 digit cases and I also think the Explorer II is the best professional model Rolex makes and by far the best value!

Stare deep into the dial of the bluesy. It is there that you will discover the wisdom to which you seek....
