Bluesy or Cermit?

I know this is a real random in consideration of one is the all stainless steel with a green bezel & the other is Rolesor combination of steel & yellow gold with the blue sunburst dial, but given the options between these 2, which would you pick & why?

Bluesy. One of the most iconic and recognizable Rolex models of all time.

Its pretty special indeed and has been for a very long time.

Green is the current trend.

The bluesy by a mile. The blue contrasting with the gold is gorgeous and striking. It makes more of a statement than the green which comes off as a more casual appearance.

Haha, I suppose.

My APs are monochromatic though. My perfect black and white complimentary pair.

It’s true, wearing AP, even mine, could be seen as less than subtle

Yes they are impeccably finished, extremely recognisable. Certainly "loud" but in a different way. Great watches.

Tough….I love my Cermit. I think it’s more versatile than the TT. As one poster mentioned, as a one watch only, Cermit…adding…TT.

If it was Bluesy vs Hulk I would have voted Hulk but it wasn't so I voted Bluesy.

Big Blue for me.

I own also a Black Submariner, and the Green Bezel / Black Dial Submariner is just too close for me … and I would choose the Black / Black vs. the Green / Black every time.

Plus … I LOVE the Blue TT Submariner … just a beautiful, classic, colorful watch. I wanted one since the first time I saw one, starring in the Jeweler’s window, when I was in high school, and every time I’ve seen one since.

Now I do not have to go too far to see one !!!!

Bluesy the reason why because it’s a much nicer looking watch the sunburst dial is amazing

Neither, but I like green on watches less than TT, so Bluesy for me.

Both are incredible watches! And one cannot go wrong with either. As is usually the case, it depends on 1. What you want this watch to do? and 2. What is already in your collection?

I took the liberty of checking out your profile and you have both the white and black dialed 116500LNs. I don’t know what else you may have so my answer is based on the info given…

Both 116500LN’s have a dressy/sporty look with polished center links.

The Bluesy would also be a dressy/sporty looking watch albeit it with a lot more flash and presence.

The Cermit is the classic Sub look with brushed bracelet and a pop of green. The bezel can look dark green to almost black in certain light too bright emerald green in bright light. It definitely is more subdued vs. the Bluesy.

Do you want a more casual wearing watch? Get the Cermit.

Do you want a flashier wearing watch? Get the Bluesy.

In my collection I have a black 116500LN and BLNR on jubilee … both a little more dressy sport watches. So, I went with (and love) my Cermit. It just fits my collection a little better vs. The Bluesy. Having said that, I do love the Bluesy.

Had the new bluesy literally 3 times! The photos kept bringing me back. Didn’t like the dial in the light, too neon blue. I did like the blue bezel. So now have the blnr to cover my blue and waiting for the subLV. Also didn’t love TT. Something about not being full gold bugged me.

Bluesy without hesitation.

The new LV feels incomplete without the sunburst dial. IMHO.

Bluesy 10000x

The Cermit looks like crap with the black dial. That is also why the new WG sub is performing badly. All using the standard black dials. They should have left the color dials in these.
