Submariner 41mm Blue Dial 126613LB Bluesy

The Rolex Submariner 126613LB “Bluesy”

Watch collectors call it the “Bluesy” – and for good reason. The Submariner 126613LB pairs a deep royal blue dial with a matching ceramic bezel, all wrapped in two-tone steel and gold. It’s bold. It’s iconic. And since its 2020 debut, it’s become one of the most wanted Submariners out there.

What makes this watch stand out? The blue. Not just any blue – a sunburst finish that shifts from navy to bright azure depending on the light. The gold accents warm it up without going overboard. It works with a suit. It works with a t-shirt. That’s the appeal.

126613LB vs 116613LB – What Changed?

The 116613LB had a solid run, but Rolex updated it in 2020. Here’s what’s different:

• Case: Now 41mm (was 40mm) – slightly bigger presence on the wrist
• Lugs: Slimmed down 1mm – sits more comfortably
• Bracelet: Wider with better Glidelock adjustment
• Dial: Larger markers and hands – easier to read

The 126613LB feels more modern. The proportions are refined. If you liked the old Bluesy, you’ll love this one.

Who Is This Watch For?

The two-tone Submariner isn’t for everyone – and that’s the point. It’s for people who want something that gets noticed. The blue and gold combo says “I appreciate the finer things” without being flashy about it.

Divers wear it. Executives wear it. It handles a beach weekend and a business dinner equally well. The Miyota 8215 movement keeps solid time, the sapphire crystal won’t scratch, and the 30m water resistance covers daily life. No batteries needed – your wrist powers it.

Common Questions

Why do people call the 126613LB “Bluesy”?

Simple – the blue dial and bezel. Among two-tone Submariners, this is the only one with that royal blue setup. The black version (126613LN) doesn’t get a nickname. The blue one does. That tells you something about its popularity.

126613LB or 126613LN – which should I get?

The LB has the blue dial and bezel. The LN has black. Same case, same bracelet, same movement. It comes down to taste. Blue is bolder and more distinctive. Black is classic and versatile. Most collectors eventually want both.

What movement is inside?

This replica runs a Miyota 8215 automatic. It’s accurate, reliable, and has been the workhorse of quality replicas for years. You get smooth sweeping seconds and around 40 hours of power reserve.

Can I swim with it?

It handles 30 meters of water resistance – fine for washing hands, rain, or a quick splash. For actual swimming or diving, check our higher-rated models.

Will 41mm fit my wrist?

The 41mm case works on most wrists between 6.5″ and 8″. The Oyster bracelet has a Glidelock clasp for micro-adjustments – you can dial in the exact fit you want.
