Hey Bruce, using your kids as an excuse to buy luxury watches is a pretty good trick. How long can you use this excuse before your wife catches on to it. *Smile*
nice review. I have this 116613LB, but in a rarer produced reference with the Diamond markers at 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11. this is the nicest looking bluesy they make and with the diamonds against that blue gloss dial; it POPS! Also I noticed mine has a beautiful gold frame around the date window which might make it more special I HOPE ! the Indian salesman at the AD urged me to get this years ago.
This was the first watch to ever wow me when I first started off as a young collector. Saw it every day on my boss's wrist and every day I thought to myself "I gotta have that watch". I'm happy to say that in a few months time I'll finally be able to go out and buy the watch! I've tried it on a few times and I'm absolutely sure it's the watch for me. Thank you for the review Bruce!
Despite having mine since 2011 and following every single release, I never knew they updated the dial. Loved the flat dial compared to the sunburst even then, so knowing this makes it even more special :)
This watch is nothing like the watches I like, but I love it. This is the exception to the "less is more" rule. One of the best looking watches ever made for me
A great choice, I bought my son one of these for his 18th birthday and he still loves it. Yes it has also appreciated in value which means he has to be careful when and where he wears it which is a sad thing to have to say now.
I had a 2000 model bluesy and sold it about 5 years later. I had rued the day so a week ago I bought an immaculate 2010 bluesy and I love it, I love it and I love it. Beats my solid 18ct gold day-date by a mile!
The 16613LB is my first Rolex. It will always be in my heart. I will add another TT Bluesy to my collection when they upgrade to the 3235 movement...which I'm thinking will be next year. Thanks for the vid!
I hope so... I wonder if they will supersize the case and up the price at the same time. EX2, DJ, Yachtmaster, SD have all been bumped up in recent years
@@BruceWilliams Thanks. Absolutely stunning in person, especially in the sunlight. My wife, my son, and his friends all like it over my Pepsi jubilee but I think I still prefer the Pepsi. Close call!
This is one of my fantasy watches! Blue and gold are striking together, especially that particular shade of blue. If Rolex produced an all stainless steel blue Sub, I'd make the effort to save for it!
I purchased a 116613 (two-tone blue) back in the early 90's and I think it's been one of the best purchases I've made over the years. I cannot tell you how many compliments I've received over the years, and of course the appreciation has been hard to beat. It's also held up very well, the finish on it today is almost as good as it was when new. It's traveled with me numerous times around the world, and has never let me down. The time has always been spot on. Good Luck with yours!
J Antony, Theo and Harris, Federico, urban gentry, hodinkee even Archie luxury, I can't scroll past anymore Rolex reviews, there's nowhere to scroll to
You do, a lot of content. Not really a criticism of your channel, more an observation of the amount of Rolex content on every watch channel at the moment. For the record, you are one of the better ones
This blue is amazingly beautiful 🗨 The perfect watch for diving. Personally, I switch the band for a blue rubber one, it's less heavy and more comfortable.
No negatives? I thought every watch had a negative. I’m disappointed in this review as it’s not really anything but fawning over a Rolex. You can do better Bruce!
Lol no worries man. You tell me the negative here. I don't think there is any that aren't purely subjective.... availability, arc only on the cyclops, size, lack of paraflex, etc. You may feel it is fawning, but pointing out the history, beauty, details, bezel, lume, clasp, etc. just shows what a solid and versatile piece it is. I don't think there is anything truely negative. But your welcome to let me know what you think...
Got this for my 21st for around 10-11k. I generally never wear it and have come back basically 10 years later to find that it’s held it’s price so well. It’s personally too outlandish for everyday wear, but what I will say is that this watch definitely what I will describe as “holds a presence” in real life and this particular version is probably the best out of all of them. A great watch if “presence” is your thing.
This is my daily wear and was a very generous gift! I'm batting out of my league as I'm not a collector I am a landscape contractor. It's beautiful and extremely durable. I'm probably taking a lot of value out of it with daily wear in a construction environment, but why have it and not wear it right?
I use to like the submariner. , personally the watch has too much going on, either silver or metal, gold, 2 blues that don't match, but mostly because the blues don't match, just throws me off.
Just before Eastern this I treat my self with a brand new ''Bluesy'' Oh so I love it. Never ever gonna sell this one. This one is following med to Heaven when I finaly depart
Big, heavy, in your face. I love my 2016. Also have the 2018 GMT Master II Pepsi with Jubilee. There is a weight difference. Also lugs on the GMT are a little narrower. Love both. Exceptional pieces. Sold my Batman, and got more than I paid for it. Allowed me to get the Pepsi. The used market is nutty right now.
I have a sunburst dial 116613lb. It’s such a joy to wear and looking at it. It’s pure elegant watch with powerful character to it. The gold part is protected by RX-8 protective film and I wear it with peace of mind. I also have a 16610 sub. But bluesy is with me to everywhere I go. Makes my every single day. Happy owner
@@shaf1485h I know..But its a individual preference for me. First a substantial spending and then one more insurance added to your life. Let me just conclude by saying i am not rich enough for the luxury :)
I absolutely love the fact that you mention your watches going to your children in the future!!! We are here to enjoy life and experience things and make the best of our time living this is true. But when it's our time there is a whole next generation of watch lovers that will follow us and who better to enjoy our beautiful time pieces than our children! Very beautiful piece in deed! Great vid brother!!🍻
The previous 40mm Bluesy had yellow/gold lettering on its dial face. The new 41mm Bluesy has all white lettering on its dial face. Also the new Bluesy has the Rolex Crown just below the 6 o'clock bar located right between the words SWISS MADE. The older model does not.
i buy and trade watches for half a decade now and i acquired the bluesy only earlier this year. man i can't let go of this even though it isn't the most expensive, rarest or limited edition of my collection. this watch speaks to me every day of the week, regardless at work or play. and i bought the gloss dial version as well because I did not like the blue sunburst and i am glad i have made that decision (probably would have traded away the sunburst bluesy)
Luckey daughters, Bluesy is absolutley Beautiful probably 1 of the most striking watch models Rolex has ever produced, for sure. What about price? Thanx. P.S. Tx.
Hi ...I am Bob too...just like you....its how I feel this submariner is the best in design with two tones highlighted by gold is just exquisite....to me this a anytime anywhere master piece.
TT Bluesy is the best modern luxury steel sports Rolex, functional and sharp! Hulk and Batman have been made popular because it's a cheaper model than now goes for inflated prices, however you have to have real money to start with if you're thinking of the Bluesy. Now do you understand the satisfaction of a bezel action, compare to the Captain Cook. 👍
This my love watch . I grab my cash I almost go buy it but I change my mind and I go get a bike 🤣 . But still it’s on my heart only this exactly this . Dude I’m happy for you . What a beauty watch
I like today’s feature watch more. One thing you should be aware of and I’m sure you know this but why not get em something in the 36”. Remember they will NOT have 7.5” wrists I’m positive unless they are weight lifters and even then might be a stretch. My girl weighs about 125 ish and has 6.5 wrists. Can both of your watches be resized down that much? Smaller case size would be best for them I’m still thinkin. I’m now 6’ and weigh 170ish I love my 36” watches, Look just fine. Just like Rob told me one day.
I'm sure I will be buying them a traditional ladies watch at some point. I can't expect my daughters to share my love of horology. So, the thought process is buy something I can enjoy for 20 years, and when the time comes to pass it on, they can have something of value. In my best estimation, my girls would rather have the funds than a watch.
Bruce Williams, I believe you are 100% correct Bruce. My daughter @37 could care less about watches. Might have told you this again she wears a and not often but because she likes the fancy sparkly or nicely colored leather. She even told me most of the time the actual watch don’t even work.lol now my grandson goes to a watch winder I have sitting in the dining room and he stares at my 4 Seiko’s in there. I tell him one day when you get bigger these will be yours. He is only 5 and a tiny lil guy but rather handsome I must say. Lil girls already asking him to come over to play or to parties. Innocent babies. All lil Angels at that age
Rolex is perfection. Nothing to hate about the brand other than the flippers creating a craze! Blue sub is awesome. Only two tone that screams Rolex. It's iconic!
This is my grail watch (although I'd accept the 41mm version too lol). Did you buy it for your daughter? I agree the two tone is superior to the plain SS and looks classier/dressier and just straight up beautiful.
Agreed. I have a pre-ceramic 16613 Bluesy that I got an amazing deal on. I love the blue dial (1989 model, so now more purple than blue), but don't care for the two tone bling. Ebay bailed me out on that one - bought a Rolex Sub crown with stem and bezel, both in stainless. Not for the purist, but for very little cost my Bluesy is now all stainless with a blue/gold text bezel insert. It's even more lovely than original, to me.
My friend has the Bluesy, liked it a lot but being the blue freak I researched and found the Smurf (116619LB) I was done and seduced by the stealth white gold, double blue look, and talk about heft! Bruce compare the Bluesy to the Smurf for weight, yes pricey but I love it!
@@BruceWilliams and it looks and feels great !! looking forward to your review of the 216570 since I have the Panda version and compared to your 40mm Panda16570
Hi Bruce, I'm considering to get this piece but recently there has been new release an updated version of the bluesy and I'm would like to know, will the older model w gold font and smaller dimension still be a better choice? Which will u pick and why. Thanks 😊
O Will buy Daytona, sub and datejust. Daytona and datejust for children sub for life. You know what, i don't care when i die i don't care but till then i Will buy it some day. Now i a. 21 and i hope for 35. Birthday IT Will ne on my wrist. I am average guy not Rich in enyways.
Great review Bruce! Very in depth and I got to know the watch a lot better. I am glad a you are doing these reviews for Bob's Watches. I'd never heard of this company before you started doing reviews of the watches they have lent in. I looked on their website, and see that they have a lot of great watches. I'll be going there for sure when I'm ready to buy my next watch.
If you're ever in Southern California, stop on by in Newport Beach and we'll show you all the cool watches you're interested in. Thanks for taking a look at our site!
Great video mate , I own 116613lb 2014 Sunburst Blue version , this watch just speak's class ,this watch is for my daughter , and one more to buy for my other daughter Regards Paul
Formerly, I planned to buy a two-tone black sub., but my girlfriend told me that the two-tone blue looks better (fresher and younger), so I've got the bluesy one. It's the most unique eye-catching watch both on wrist and collection box indeed!
Your daughters will most probably not wear these watches. They'll keep them in memory of their father, sure. Unless they're into watches like you are, not a chance the pieces will see any wrist time. It's all a mental construct to justify buying an overpriced luxury watch. I have two young kids too. I just bought the new Bluesy 126613LB. I really enjoy wearing it. The dial is truly amazing.
Hey Bruce, using your kids as an excuse to buy luxury watches is a pretty good trick. How long can you use this excuse before your wife catches on to it. *Smile*
Better question is how many kids can you have before it doesn’t make financial sense to buy luxury watches 😂😂😂
Yes. With one kid in college and another right behind her, I’ll be 90 before I can buy a Rolex……
This is the most beautiful two tone watch Rolex has ever made. I’d pick this over the rootbeer two tone anytime of the day.
Would u rather have solid gold bluesy or solid rose root beer
@@yurrickhunt9707 if its solid gold, i would go for the rootbeer. But if its two tone, the bluesy.
The central spire of the coronet does not align with the point on the 12 o clock hour marker

Love Rolex, unfortunately too small for me.... prefer 43mm bezel... :) great review... :)
It's flashy, gaudy, old fashioned and kinda ugly...and I want one. I want one bad.
Is the most iconic blu dial watch ever made
Nah, the all gold version is to flashy.
N i got one n I’m 14 go hustle
Kristóf Máthé lmao frfr
me too!
This was the first watch to ever wow me when I first started off as a young collector. Saw it every day on my boss's wrist and every day I thought to myself "I gotta have that watch".

Big congrats man!!
Congratulations!
Even though we get in a healthy amount of these two tones, we always end up picking up the Bluesy to admire its beauty. Great review Bruce!
Thanks guys!
The Blusey is my favorite Sub too. Blue and gold go so well together.
For me the most pretty Watch of all ;-)
Despite having mine since 2011 and following every single release, I never knew they updated the dial. Loved the flat dial compared to the sunburst even then, so knowing this makes it even more special :)

I hated this at first... and then i suddenly loved it... like an aged scotch, hah.
One of my favorite Rolex watches. I’d like to add one to my collection as well. Great review Bruce.
I have a lot of watches Tudor Rolex omega tissots tag Cartier Breitling and let me tell you that the Rolex bluesy is by far my favourite
Rolex two tone is the right amount of gold and steel. Solid gold is great $35k but two tone is $15K and looks sharp.
You bet!
A great choice, I bought my son one of these for his 18th birthday and he still loves it. Yes it has also appreciated in value which means he has to be careful when and where he wears it which is a sad thing to have to say now.
I’m not a two tone type of guy , but on the bluesy it it works! It’s iconic and just
Works!!!!

Tell me about your thoughts behind a larger watch for a daughter.
Welp, people find ways to justify their spending. His daughter probably doesn't want this watch.
What are you considering BUY IT!! The Bluesy is a FANTASTIC version of The LANDLORD WATCH You can not go wrong 🔥🔥🔥
I’m probably in the minority that thinks this Sub is a bit garish. 😮
I own a 16613 two-tone bluesy and love it. Can't go wrong with a Rolex and the Daytona is on my list.

Or the Rolex 41 Two Tone Submariner Bluesy ? ? ?
Lmao 😆
Bruce Williams the kinda guy to have ten kids, so he can have ten Rolex's 😂

The blue and gold combination is more than super awesome ! Makes it look so classy.

Bluesy is the most beautiful R out there ...is my target for the future .
you can't afford a Rolex? i'm so sorry are you ok?

i can admire them all day long...but will never buy one. I have 2 omega watches...but wearing $7k+ on my wrist, i will just die of the fear.
That why we insure our watches.
@@shaf1485h I know..But its a individual preference for me. First a substantial spending and then one more insurance added to your life. Let me just conclude by saying i am not rich enough for the luxury :)
How do you like this watch still. Is it your favorite still?
Can I be you're son please :)
Looks amazing in real life
This one is actually really good value for money, 18k gold, porn look and way cheaper than a Hulk in Steel

How do you know your kids are going to be "watch lovers"?
Something is not perfectly aligned with the yellow line at index 7 with the center of the letter R. Strange for a Rolex.

The new 41mm Bluesy has all white lettering on its dial face.
Also the new Bluesy has the Rolex Crown just below the 6 o'clock bar located right between the words SWISS MADE. The older model does not.
who doesn't like it ? LOL
Care to mention a ballpark price? Above 14K?

Rolex are perfect at Marketing , not watchmaking
Tried on a Bluesy at the weekend. Caught me off guard how good they look on the wrist. I now have one on my wish list
Man, oh man. You're such an enabler. Gotta have one...
How can I find one
This is my grail watch (although I'd accept the 41mm version too lol). Did you buy it for your daughter? I agree the two tone is superior to the plain SS and looks classier/dressier and just straight up beautiful.
Great shots, Bruce
I appreciate that
I would suggest maybe a Datejust or OP instead because your current GMT is so similar to a Sub.
I like a fluted dj on jubilee. So considering the polar explorer 2
What does lb stands for?
such a underrated rolex nowadays
Just prefer the black dial/ bezel two tone version, more understated, sophisticated, and classy....in my opinion..
Its a luxury perversion of what once was proper tool watch
Ron Power I do think Rolex needs to make a version of the 114060 that is more tooly. Less polishing, maybe an aluminum bezel, etc.
Beautiful watch Bruce ;)
Does rolex also give gifts when you buy a Rolex? Because ive seen some people getting hats or Wallets from them after purchasing a watch.
The two tone is growing on me. 😎
Looks too blingy
Agreed. I have a pre-ceramic 16613 Bluesy that I got an amazing deal on. I love the blue dial (1989 model, so now more purple than blue), but don't care for the two tone bling.

Formerly, I planned to buy a two-tone black sub., but my girlfriend told me that the two-tone blue looks better (fresher and younger), so I've got the bluesy one. It's the most unique eye-catching watch both on wrist and collection box indeed!
What's its alternative ?? In Seiko .🙏
Your daughters will most probably not wear these watches. They'll keep them in memory of their father, sure. Unless they're into watches like you are, not a chance the pieces will see any wrist time. It's all a mental construct to justify buying an overpriced luxury watch. I have two young kids too.
I just bought the new Bluesy 126613LB. I really enjoy wearing it. The dial is truly amazing.
If I invent a time machine and go back 25 yrs to the age of 8, will you adopt me so I can inherit a Rolex LOL.
lol I can't. 49ers fan here... no patriots allowed
@@BruceWilliams Hey we gave you Jimmy G I think a Rolex is a fair trade lol
@@kevinc1001 lol fair enough
if you're in los angeles be careful wearing a rolex thieves will steal it. i don't wear mine for that reason had a bluesy since 2000.
I’m going to use that excuse with my wife. I’m buying it for my kids!😂😂
I’ll get a replica from China 🇨🇳 lol they’re 1:1 quality now.
