Hello everyone,

I am torn between two watches. The Blue Dial Rolex Sub Oystersteel and 18 KT Yellow Gold 116613LB vs the new Rolex BLRO GMT 2 Jubilee.

I am 1st on my AD list for the BLRO and I just saw the 116613LB that my AD just got in. This blue dial is amazing and really caught my eye. I never liked the look of Yellow Gold but it was just perfect on this sub with the Blue Dial.

I am a middle aged finance professor and generally wear slacks and a polo shirt and a sports coat at my University.

Which one would you pick and why?

I appreciate any assistance you can provide me :+)

Hello professor

I’d hold tight for the BLRO if you believe your Dealer will deliver on its word.

well id wait. you can always get a 116613lb. it is not in as high of demand.

I'd wait for BLRO.

I’d go with the bluesy without a 2nd thought.

Bluesy, purely on aesthetics and that fabulous blue dial.

Blusey here. This will probably be my next purchase, so I must declare a bias. There's just something about it....

My choice is the 116613LB!

BLRO for sure. Gold does look a little off in the uni environment.

Harry-57 · 26 August 2018, 03:17 AM

I love the all gold look but I couldn't pull it off. Not for me. But fantastic nonetheless.

HL65 · 26 August 2018, 03:28 AM

I’d wait for BLRO as well.

AK797 · 26 August 2018, 05:28 AM

Blue dial sure is nice.

Rwchisholm · 26 August 2018, 05:31 AM

I’ll take the BLRO if you don’t want it...

It depends on what other watches you own. I like both, but if this is going to be your daily watch I’d pick the BLRO. The Bluesy would make a great weekend watch or a good alternative if you already own black dial watches.
