The Bluesy is the Submariner with its sleeves rolled up and a little gold showing: blue dial, blue bezel, and yellow gold running through the steel case and Oyster bracelet. On the current 126613LB, the sunburst dial shifts from deep navy to bright blue as the light moves, while white dial lettering keeps the face crisp against all that warmth.

Introduced in 2020, this generation pairs the 3235 with a nominally larger 41mm case, yet slimmer lugs make it look less blocky than the preceding 116613LB. Choose the current reference for those proportions and the bracelet’s easy Glidelock adjustment; consider the older 16613 if you prefer a slimmer case profile and an aluminum bezel insert rather than ceramic. On an older example, pay attention to the insert: fading can be attractive, but a replacement can substantially change the blue-and-gold balance that drew you to it.

What owners love

  • The blue sunburst dial is what keeps owners looking down at it: it can look deep navy indoors, then turn bright blue as you move it into sunlight. The yellow gold brings out that change without the dial needing to be especially busy.
  • The slimmer lugs on the 126613LB give it a less blocky look than the previous Bluesy, despite the nominally larger case. Owners coming from the older ceramic version often prefer these proportions on the wrist.
  • The Glidelock clasp makes small fit adjustments genuinely easy, particularly when your wrist swells during the day. You can adjust it without tools rather than choosing between a bracelet that's too tight and one that slides around.

Common Criticisms

  • The polished gold center links and clasp pick up fine scratches readily, and those marks show against the shiny finish. Owners who wear theirs daily commonly find that keeping the bracelet looking pristine is a losing battle.
  • The blue-and-gold combination is conspicuous, especially in sunlight. Some owners love that most days but find it harder to wear discreetly than they expected.
