The 116619LB – the watch world knows it as the Smurf. Solid 18k white gold case and bracelet, intense blue dial, blue Cerachrom bezel. The nickname is obvious once you see it. All that blue, like a certain cartoon character.
White gold gives this Sub a more understated presence than yellow gold. The metal reads almost like steel at first glance, but that cool blue dial and bezel combo is anything but ordinary. It’s loud in a quiet way, if that makes sense.
The blue ceramic bezel is practically indestructible – and the minute markers are done in platinum. That’s a detail that speaks to how exclusive this reference really is. The Glidelock clasp allows micro-adjustments on the fly.
The sunburst blue dial with those big Chromalight indices pops nicely. The Mercedes hands are an instant Submariner tell.
Rolex made the 116619LB from 2010 to 2020 before the Cookie Monster (126619LB) took over. As the first blue Sub in white gold with ceramic bezel, it’s earned its place among collectors.

Great Value With Character. For less than my monthly pension, I get 95% of the look.

Wife said no to a gen Smurf for our 40th anniversary. Got this instead—she thinks I ‘came to my senses.

Had a Wall Street guy offer to buy it off my wrist mid-shift. The blue dial looks even richer under whiskey-bar amber lighting. Didn’t tell him it’s a rep – his $800 offer was tempting though!

The dial color is perfect, but the bezel action is a bit stiff compared to my friend’s real Sub. For the price? No complaints.

Survived My Construction Job! Wore this daily framing houses for 8 months – concrete dust, hammer blows, you name it.

Wear it fishing, gardening, even to grandkids’ birthdays. The PVD coating hasn’t scratched, and the lume lasts all night.

Survived a European river cruise beautifully. Still a lot more adventure awaits this timepiece.

Survived 6 months of cocktail shaking, ice scooping, and the occasional lime juice bath. The blue still dazzles under bar lights, but the clasp shows minor wear from banging on the well rail.

My old colleagues still think I splurged post-retirement. The blue is mesmerizing, and the weight is perfect. No one suspects a thing—just how I like it.
