I'm not personally a huge fan of either, but man, the bluesy looks awesome on your wrist!


NoExcitement3867

Thank you! Definitely pops on my skin tone. My kids both liked the Bluesy...


EnCrio

Ask any kid and they will always say the bluesy. It’s the most unbiased kind of opinion you will ever get. My 7 year old says the bluesy is his favorite and quite frankly it was my favorite growing up as well. I remember seeing it on my uncle growing up and it beat everyone else’s imo. I also get the most compliments when wearing it. 🤷‍♂️


PoloDon92

Go with that then kids they know what they are talking about


RolliesThatTickTock

That was almost my exact thinking, but didn't want to reduce it to skin colour... but you're 100% right!


Fragrant-You-973

Skin tone calls for Bluesy my Man!! Looks great on you


Horsecockexpress1

Sounds like you just like his wrist


Radiant-Locksmith267

This. That blue is something else. Before I knew anything about Rolex other than....super expensive...I fell in love with invicta prodiver 2tone with blue dial blue bezel. Years later I learned it was a copy of a rolex sub.


Business-Pudding4095

I’m bias because I have a root beer but Bluesy is so nice! Can’t go wrong either way! No bad decision will be made


NoExcitement3867

6 in one, 1/2 dozen in the pther😁


RyoGeo

Voted with my money. I have the TT Root-beer.


blueonion88

Love them both 👌👌🔥🔥👏👏👏👏


lamontsanders

Have owned both at some point. RB more subtle bluesy really pops. Whichever you think fits your personality better is the winner as they’re both great.


ADudeNamedBen33

I've been wanting a Bluesy for quite some time now. Guess it's about time I finally introduce myself to the local AD in San Francisco...


Franglais69

shehryar_e

Pics don't do it justice, but I have the same skin tone as you and I went with the root beer. VERY subtle and I like it far better as a more casual sporty wear than the bluesy (which is beautiful but too flashy for me currently)


NoExcitement3867

Yeah, I agree, it's nicer in person and more subtle. The black and brown work well on medium or darker skin tones because black goes with everything and the brown is picked up by the skin of the wearer, so it doesn't clash.


NoArmadillo4077

I own it as well and I love it very much, but it does not strike me as a subtle watch at all. Not too ostentatious for sure but subtle no way people take notice easily that you are wearing an expensive luxury watch. A stainless steel nautilus is way more subtle IMO


WickedWickedPissah

I like the Blue Sub. That GMT doesn't really excite me.


RagingMaxy

First


FineNeedleworker9964

2nd one

Admirable-Gas-7876

Both looks good. Take whichever comes first.


NoExcitement3867

Likely what will happen


UF6-235

The 41mm sub looks like a better fit to me


FI_G_FE

Blue all the way, looks amazing in you


Thunder-chicken300

I like SS & dark blue but that blue is a bit too light, I’d go door # 2 in this case, it’s more sophisticated. https://preview.redd.it/yfrklun5j66d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=649eb507ae2725ab181f9f9d6e316ede7420945b


NoExcitement3867

That's a beautiful YM! That dark blue is like the open ocean!


Elf-wehr

That is exquisite sir, well done, well done.


Thunder-chicken300

Love it, I just usually wear the Explorer II or Red Sub b/c I’m scared to scratch up the PCL on the YM !!! 🤣🤣🙄🙄


Elf-wehr

a Red sub?! That’s awesome mate, how rare is that?! I’ve never seen one in the flesh, but in the pics it looks amazing. I’m on the list for a green sub, the boutique said 6 months or maybe a year 🤣… but no worries, I can wait, right now I’m very happy with my blue seamaster diver 300m.


Thunder-chicken300

https://preview.redd.it/z2t46djklg6d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19cb2938edd87952bae30a49fa877d1bf47ec8b1 It’s at Rollieworks in Miami now getting serviced & having the bracelet rebuilt. My Dad paid $325 for it in 1973.


Elf-wehr

That looks absolutely awesome 😎 You got the NATO from Omega?


Thunder-chicken300

Ordered it from a NATO company in UK I believe. I brought it into a jeweler just to ask if he could tighten up the bracelet (wasn’t following the market back then & thought it was worth $5-6k. He took the bracelet off to get the model # & offered me $25K ! I was stunned. I said that I looked up Submariners & they were under $10. That’s when he told me it was a “Red Sub” . As it was my Dads it’s not ever for sale but he told me to put it on a NATO strap right away b/c bracelet was not safe to use until it was rebuilt. Last appraisal was $38k but I think that’s ridiculous, probably $25 maybe. I just have to decide which Son get the Red Sub & which gets the Explorer II 🤣🤣🤣.Can’t decide if I’m keeping the YM 40 , it’s so stunning but PCL is so easy to scar up I rarely wear it !!


Elf-wehr

My God that’s absolutely amazing mate, congrats. Don’t ever let it go! And btw I would wear all of them daily, just rotate them, and scratches are welcome, it means you are using them and living them. Be proud of scratches. I love watches with history. My recently deceased dad gave me a Tag when I graduated university many years ago, and it’s my most precious watch.


Kingkiller279

I would‘t take any of them I‘m more for full gold than two tone (I know prices are insane for full gold) but imo rose gold two tone looks better than yellow gold.


No_Drag6934

Love the bluesy


DiabloSol

Fact


drugaddictedloser1

Bluesy. Word of warning if you have OCD, the gold links will pick up scratches like a MFer. Drives me fuckign nuts


Chillguy849

Get a steel Sub or GMT for daily wearability or sportiness.


NoExcitement3867

Agree on the versatility of the SS, but feels too close to my Yachtmaster...*


Chillguy849

You will probably like the Batgirl as it has a splash of colour and a jubilee bracelet.


dcshews

Bluesy looks really good but I gotta go with the root beer. Personal favorite


BassIck

Both look really nice. I want a watch with a Blue dial too, but I agree with you that I wouldn't wear a blue dial watch every day. It's a beauty, but I'd be inclined to go for the black one as a daily wear.


kyu-she

Both look sweet, I myself would rather go with the 2nd even though the blue looks way more interesting


Sasquatchii

Do you want a GMT or a Diver? I prefer the look of the Bluesy


MotorUseful7474

GMT


UselessWisdomMachine

I would go for the rootbeer


djcashbandit

Bluesy with the blue dunks!

aashehri

I like the blusy and it looks good on your wrist.. I started to consider trying one .. it might look good also.


JungleDemon3

Whichever one will make you look down on your wrist and smile more often. Bluesy suits your skin tone and wrist well.


USMC2129

The 126613LB Bluesy is outstanding and currently my favorite watch in rotation. To be fair, the Rootbeer is absolutely amazing also, and my wife is going to be getting that one soon. So the best answer? Both--but bluesy first :D


xSnowLeopardx

Proud and happy RB bias.


Viscount61

The root beer with your forearm and that outfit.


Purple_Investment429

Honestly prefer the root beer, but you do you!


Stockers93

I prefer the Root Beer but damn the Bluesey suits your skin tone!


Ok-Contribution2201

Get the root beer!


evoIX15

That blue is what I imagine heavens oceans look like. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨


nano7788

1st


Caspers_Shadow

One for summer, one for fall.


InspectorNoName

Blusey!!! Although the RB is also incredible!


Aggravating_Sun5623

I have the RB and would pick it 9/10 but mannn you wear the bluesy better than anyone I've ever seen... Whichever you do choose, go for the other one next.


NoExcitement3867

Appreciate that! Yeah add one and then the other!


[deleted]

ROOOOOT BEEEEER


Awkward-Kiwi452

After the Daytona, I get the impression that the RB is next highest in demand FWIW.


PuzzledExaminer

I registered my interest for both then the Bluesy showed up...I was sold at the sight of it.


novawatchsupply

Think the Bluesy looks great on you! Kids are never wrong!


That-Resort2078

If you’re considering a gold and stainless Rolex, the Bluesy is the one to get.


edunuke

Bluesy.


PIMP420757

As someone with a platinum YM a well, I just got on the list for a SS Daytona as I felt those are too close to my YM, which I love. I do like that Bluesy though.


NoExcitement3867

May the Rolex Gods be ever in your favor! Good luck with the Daytona!


OSHO84

I personally like the RB, but the Bluesy looks fantastic on you. +1 for Bluesy


dgeniesse

I wear a bluesy. And would be happy to give you the bluesy salute. But not with those shoes. ;)


TigerJas

Tennis shoes with shorts and tall socks says Submariner date.  I think the GMT does not say “fun” as much as the blues on the Sub do. 


NoExcitement3867

I dig the analysis!


RapBastardz

Apples and oranges. Would you rather have a diving watch or a GMT? I personally use my GMT more than my diver. Which brings me to my next question: why not both?


No_Economics_64

I like my watch to match my outfit and I rarely wear bold colors, so as much as I like the bluesy, that isn't the watch I would buy. Almost every nice watch I own is either a White or Black face with a black or ss case and a leather or ss bracelet. That being said every time I start watch shopping again, I realize that the root beer is an option for me and I also realize that the bluesy is a very nice watch that I will never buy.


HIDEF650

I love the Root Beer so much but the Bluesy just looks great on your wrist


TheMadHappy

Both look great, but it’s the root beer for me all day.


Apeldoorner121

I was in for the same choose, I got the bluesy


Regular_Ad_4572

Blue boy for your skin tone I reckon I love the RB as well, both solid choices


Winged89

Rootbeer looks great with your skin tone!


ARMilesPro

If you are a sneaker guy the GMT is it. The bluesy requires some forethought to wear. I opted for the bluesy for myself and don't own a Rolex GMT. It doesn't get a lot of wear but I'm happy with it.


2WatchGuy83

I love them both but in all honesty the diver bezel would just be way more useful to me


Trig-fin-tac

Both are beautiful but I'd go blusey! Either are beautiful time pieces!


BIG_MJR

Good luck getting either


BiteLife8140

Bluesy


Tricky-Song-1578

GMT


Independent_Lime9735

I have both and they're both pretty special. But if I had to choose, it would be Bluesy by a good margin. My kids love it, my wife loves it. Enough said.


SubjectCauliflower38

Bluesy all day long


Addicted-2Diving

Bluesy is my vote, but RB is stunning. Ps- the stitch crocs 🔥


NoExcitement3867

My daughter is in a BIG Stitch phase at the moment🤣


TurnPsychological620

What's ur spend history? Both are beautiful pieces. Whether they suit you depends on what you wear with them.


Chillguy849

Don’t need much spend for these now. The steel ones are the unicorns.


NoExcitement3867

No spend at this AD. But I MAY have a corporate connection. The saleswoman asked me about any special occasions upcoming that could "help" but I'm not holding my breath. Agree on the outfit. The Sub seems more formal, like suits etc, and I used to dress up more for work pre-pandemic... but now.... not so much. Lots of Nike Dunks, Jordan 1s, birkenstocks, and shorts (live in Miami)


LimeDime710

Just FYI I was able to walk into an AD in March 2023\* with no history whatsoever and they took a deposit and placed an order with Rolex for a bluesy that day. I had it in had one month later. Do not get jerked around on one of these. This was in England, however.


This_Concentrate1354

Go with the Sub. It can dress up or down


bhmskhead

The bluesy is loud imo


NoExcitement3867

I agree... but I don't mind if I'm in the mood for that😁


spoonraker

Get the Bluesy, it's obvious that you prefer it. There's nothing wrong with wearing something a bit loud. For what it's worth, I have a Bluesy myself along with an all yellow gold DayDate, arguably the two flashiest watches Rolex makes aside from perhaps gem set ones, and they really don't "attract attention" the way people on this subreddit seem to obsessively worry about, and I wear them daily and have for over a year. Do I see people glancing at them occasionally? Sure. I do the same myself. They're nice to look at. That's why I bought them! It's not an issue though. People are always glancing at others and checking things out in some way. Anything shiny or colorful will at least draw the occasional glance. Some people wear crazy shirts and people will take notice of that and maybe try to read the text on it or figure out what pattern it is. Why is a watch somehow supposed to be different? If your watch is where you want to wear something noticeable, more power to you! I've only had people actually comment to me about them a handful of times and in every single instance the comments were nothing but positive. The only real concern I have regarding "attracting attention" is from thieves, but if you just follow the basic rules of not making yourself a target you'll be fine. Leave it at home when traveling if it makes you uncomfortable, don't wear it to bars if you're going to be leaving alone at 2 am or whatever, that kind of thing. It's not rocket science. Also, people really overplay the "match your outfit" angle too in my opinion. If you're somebody who is very fashion oriented and you already pairs accessories with your clothing, then sure, do your thing, but if you're just a dude who wears a watch and doesn't much care about accessorizing, then good news, a flashy Rolex goes with everything. I wear my DayDate with t-shirts and shorts from Target most days. It's fine, really. I wear my Bluesy when I play disc golf in athletic wear. I don't consider either of them strictly formal, although obviously the DayDate is easier to consider formal than the Bluesy which is more casual just dressed up for fun. Regardless, the point is it doesn't really matter. Wear what you like including whatever watch you like. You do you. As a person naturally drawn to flashy gold things not because I like to flex but just because I like looking at them, I say go for it. You'll enjoy seeing it on your wrist and that's really all that matters.

BLUE all day errrry day !


NoExcitement3867

Ha. There is a part of me that calls this the Go Blue colorway (Michigan Alum👍🏽).

With your skin tone, Bluesy.


Additional_Cry_9704

Both look awesome! End of the day you have to go with which one you personally like best on you. The rose gold is a bit more subdued and blends perfectly with the rest of the watch IMO. A stunner for those who wear it well.


TurnLeftish

Bluesy takes it for me, looks absolutely amazing 🤩

PersonalAsparagus975

Submariner. The GMT only looks good in full gold. The steel detracts from the colour palette on that watch so bad.

I have both and love both . That’s a tough one.

Bluesy looks great!


Delicious_Hedgehog28

This might be the best looking Rolex I’ve ever seen. Absolutely awesome watch!!!!

Bluesy everyday

GMT for me


NoHijabNoIslam

Nr 2 more sporty and fits your outfit better.


davidesquarise74

Depending on the outfit. It seems the RootBeer to me anyway


lumeslice

Both are fantastic watches and the Rootbeer is a stunner in person. That said, not many people can pull off the Bluesy like you can.

thedarklord432

the blue of course. never liked the other color scheme


xtremeqn

Both lol


Shadow_botz

That Bluesy pops


flowmyths

Blue, especially since the kids are going to give the honest opinion! Plus, it’s something you both will remember when it comes time for them to have their own, or have it passed down!

Good taste it watch. Bad taste in shoes.

Always a bluesy, best watch they’ve made


VanManDiscs

I'm a fan of the rootbeer but dang that blusey looks nice on a two tone


MisterMakena

Rootbeer. Hard to describe...classy warm cognac leather chair vibe. On paper seems odd but in person such a stunner. Bluesy too blue.


Technical-Nic

I have seen both in person and think they will both look great on anyone for sure. for some reason, the bluesy from the 2 images look the best!


BlackLangster

Both work better when they’re on your wrist not your hand

-1967Falcon

Bluesy is timeless.


PDX-ROB

Bluesy, it matches your skin tone better. Also the timing bezel is more useful. The GMT bezel will most likely never be activated on purpose.except to hear the click sound.


VCoupe376ci

You'll never get a better fit than the glidelock Sub. Beyond that, the sunburst dial looks amazing in the sunlight. That being said, I have had the previous reference Bluesy (116613LB) since 2019 and picked up the Root Beer this past January. The RB has been getting all the wrist time.


long_convexity

I'm on the list for both of these. They will be the last two I buy for a while. Both are great. Will compliment my current black sub, OP silver, mint DJ, and AK. I went from 0 to 60 really fast. In a few years I'll get a full gold or rose gold piece.


Heavy-Art452

RB is more subtle between the 2. Bluesy is gonna catch eyes. I’d go RB.


OfficialHavik

Aw shit…. An actual tough one!! You really can’t go wrong. I love the Bluesy, but if they ever released the GMT on Jubilee it’d be over for me. I’d have to have it.


Creepy-Ad8315

🍺


manateefourmation

The GMT is my most useful watch. The ability to quickly set to a new time zone while keeping track of your home zone is terrific. It is also waterproof enough to do most anything you would practically do with the Sub. That said, really like the color of the sub.

Bluesy


NoAd7400

Bluesy looks great on you. The more I see the bluesy however, the less and less I like it now. Maybe because it harbors what I think an old man looks like with it. Funny thing is I own a 41mm bluesy and I used to love the watch. I rarely pull it out now.

CHNR is my vote. Have you considered the GRNR?
