New Blue Dial Sub

So I understand that there is a new blue dial for the two toned sub coming out this fall. I guess I missed that at Basel. Does anyone have a high quality shot of the new dial? Any other modest changes like this coming soon vs new models?

Thanks

To my understanding it is not a "new" dial. They are now shipping TT submariner with "sunburst" like dials as in the previous generation.

They are not coming out this fall. I have already seen pictures from some forum members. I am not sure if Rolex has even made an official announcement.I believe it was simply treated as a dial variation.

Yes they are coming out with the sunburst dial but the bezel seems to remain the flat blue smurf ceramic color.....so don't know how that will look in person as the blue will have two different shades.

There have been blue TT sunburst dials for years.

Here is a thread posted by Ben after he purchased the new 116613 with sunburst dial.

Rolex had a little sign at Basel that said "New Dial" next to the TT and full gold versions.

It is a maxi dial in sunburst. There are plenty of photos around and it is better than the photos look .
