Do all 116618LB subs have sunburst dials?
Do all 116618LB subs have sunburst dials? Or are some flat blue and others sunburst?

The early ones (up to 2013) are flat blue, after that is sunburst.
The 116619LB is flat blue and always has been.. I'd love to see a sunburst 116619LB.. |

no way the flat smurf blue of the 116619 is what makes the watch! The sunburst is too dark blue for my taste. I love the way the 116619 just pops when it hits the sun light.

Disagree. The pastel blue hue was a deal breaker so I went YG sunburst. If the WG Sub had the sunburst dial it would be 100% better and I would own one.

Flat blue for me! I have seen the full gold with flat blue, and it was lovely! I had a couple of 116613LBs with the flat dial and they were to die for.

I love the flat blue dial with the Smurf and I love sunburst blue dial with the platinum bezel on the SS YM.

You decide
In person, the blue on YG looks fantastic. Interesting they make two different blue sunburst dials. Seems like the SD might have the darker one too. My wife has the DJ with the darker blue and it has its own interesting effect with the light Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
