I fully agree. Perfect for TRF conjecture, but not marketable. What’s next? A tri-color band in SS, WG and platinum?

Hope our name is on the waiting list..

But why give the extra weight to the perfect TT? I find the 116613LB the most beautiful Sub ever made, if you replace the SS part with WG you have the same visual effect just make the watch more impractical if you ask me

A sunburst blue on an all-white metal Sub would indeed be a hot seller, especially in all SS. Two-tone SS/WG is a non-starter and won't happen, even if the dial were made of crystallized unicorn tears and the bezel were fossilized fairy turds.

If you sent a smurf to Rolex could you get them swap the dial from a bluesy?
