116610 LB Blue /Blue SHARK

After my introduction of the Shark one of the r-l-x.de forum members build a full blue version blue/blue in steel.
Here some pics.

Did that member just luckily acquire a blue ceramic bezel and blue dial insert? Or Actually purchase a full WG smurf and swapped with a SS SUB-C?

Great idea. Brings the WG look at a more affordable price point.

That said, I prefer the original Shark look.

It could be a factory option for the blue coloured bezel (like the original LV) with the normal black dial. No one would confuse it with the blue/blue WG version so they could keep the exclusivity there.

And, I think the blue/black SS combo would be an exceptional sales winner for them.

The blue (bezel)/black(dial) combo is the nicest. No doubt.

I would buy a SS BB Sub C if Rolex made one. Hey look a new abbreviation to confuse everyone.

I liked the original shark, blue bezel, black dial...very unique. I own a SS GMTIIC. If it was TT,i would get the same green dial that is in the 8 ky YG model if I could.that
Would look so sweet.
