Love the watch.
My question: is the entire thing white gold? So, they give the white gold a brushed finish so that it looks just like stainless steel? The PCL’s are beautiful, but, the case and the rest ... brushed finish white gold? Or SS? |

The OFFICIAL WG Submariner 116619LB Club >>>>>>>>>
I’m in! Thank you to all who posted pics and shared your thoughts and experiences. It certainly is a different blue indoors (pic 1) and outdoors (pic 2). Loving it! Love the subtile heft of WG. This fits well with my 116719, 116600 and 16710. Several of you inspired me on the WG BLRO too!

That watch.... you really nailed the addition.
You might find yourself wearing it a lot. It’s a great everyday watch. |

The last picture makes me think the wg sub has slightly more tapered lugs than the ss sub. I have noticed it before, but thought it might just be a perceptual issue due to the polished center lugs. Thoughts?

Had both. Same measurements. I think it’s the perspective/angle. Just another WIS who loves to trade! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do any of you that have posted on this thread know whether or not Rolex makes half links for this reference? A half-link for the 6 side would make it a perfect fit for my particular wrist. I can't seem to find any definitive information on this. Seems strange that there are half-links available for all the other subs, but for folks that own the wg sub there are not.

Thank you for that link. Still a bit confused because my AD was told they do not make a half link for the wg sub. Maybe they use too?

For those of you with a Smurf and Daytona can I please ask - if you had to have only one out of the two which would it be? I currently have a DaytonaC (white) and am thinking of part exing for a Smurf as a daily..... thoughts please?
