Thanks

Hard to tell without a side by side comparison under the same light.

When I saw it in the flesh I did think it was slightly darker than the Smurf blue.

Had the Smurf but traded a grail for a grail. Maxi case always bothered me and didn’t like that aspect of it. Ruined perfection for me. New 126619LB is much better.

Photos of Smurf and 126619LB below for comparison.

Thanks!

Yes, I had the smurf as well and what bothered me was the too much bright blue.

Maybe new looks darker because of the black dial, will see as I have ordered one.

Weird that they had plastic on dummy watches with dummy movements that were made to try on? Did they want to recreate that thrilling feeling of putting the fully stickered watch in the safe for investment purposes?

Society’s mindset of ‘got to have it right now’ is getting worse every year, jeez.
The Subs and OPs are out and in Australia. No sign of the Skydwellers yet.

Rolex 2020 exhibition in Sydney

Ducked in Sunday to try them. The Turquoise and Yellow I thought where the two best dials in person. I tried the SUB on for size, it felt surprisingly okay on my 6.5 wrist but i must say I thought I'd like to blueberry more than I did when i saw it.
