126613lb corrected crown

Rolex just updated their image of the new 126613lb which now has the yellow gold crown.

Looks much better with the gold crown. Now they need to change the white text on the dial to gold and I would want one.

Sharp! Indeed, when googling for images of the 126613LB it comes up with images with a steel crown, but the website shows in gold (as it should be for my taste).

Looks like the Submariner group shot still shows the 126613lb with a ss crown but totally agree the yg crown looks much better so that's a relief (looking to buy one at some point).
They're trying to be consistent across the Submariner range but the white text on the 126613lb looks naff unfortunately.

Thank god. Now I want one again. Lol. I remember a while back I tried on a 2 tone blue yacht master 40 and wondered why the heck the crown was stainless. It did not look right. I was really disappointed to see that stainless crown being that the “bluesy” was always one of my favorites.

Yep, White text on the dial still ruins it.

Gold on blue is the classic egyption color combination of kings!!!!

Does anyone know if the dial is a new colour or the same? I found the previous one a bit too light, a deeper blue would definitely make this new one worth a look.
