The 126613LB is the two-tone Bluesy. Yellow gold Submariner with the blue dial and blue bezel. It is the loudest dive watch Rolex makes, the one that reads "gold Submariner" from across a room. The blue sunburst dial is the signature, and it is the same blue that made this reference famous.

The dial. Sunburst royal blue, the Bluesy signature. It shifts from dark navy in low light to electric blue in direct sun. The Mercedes hands and markers are yellow gold plated, which is the contrast that defines the watch. Gold against blue is a combination that should be too much, and on the Bluesy it is exactly the right amount. Chromalight lume gives the blue glow at night, matching the dial. Date at 3 under the cyclops.
The bezel. Blue Cerachrom ceramic insert in a yellow gold ring. The 60-minute scale is engraved and filled with gold, flush with the ceramic surface. The blue bezel matches the dial, and the gold ring ties it to the case. The insert will not scratch or fade, and the gold fill will not tarnish.
The gold. Two-tone split. Yellow gold plating on the bezel ring, the Triplock crown, and the polished center links of the Oyster. The case body and outer links stay steel. It is the standard Rolesor layout, and the gold tone is matched to genuine.
The movement. Dandong VS3235. This is the date version of the VS3230, with a real date mechanism and no ghost position. Quick-set date at midnight, smooth sweep, and a genuine 72-hour reserve. It is the movement VSF uses across its Submariner Date line.
The bracelet. Two-tone Oyster, three-piece links. Gold polished centers against steel outers. Oysterlock clasp with the Glidelock extension, which sizes in 2mm increments without tools.
The takeaway. The Bluesy is the Submariner you buy when you want the dive watch and the gold at the same time. The blue sunburst dial is one of the best blue dials Rolex makes, and the gold accents make it the flashiest Sub in the line. It is not a subtle watch. If you want a Submariner that announces itself, this is the one. The 41mm case and VS3235 keep it a proper modern Sub underneath the gold.
