Rolex 116613LN vs. 126613LN

The Rolex 126613LN replaced the 116613LN in 2020 with several upgrades. The case grew from 40mm to 41mm with slimmer lugs for a more refined profile. The movement changed from the Caliber 3135 to the Caliber 3235, increasing the power reserve from 48 hours to 70 hours. The Cerachrom bezel, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock, and 300-meter water resistance carried over from the previous generation. Buyers who prefer the classic 40mm case size or want a discontinued two-tone Submariner at a lower entry price often gravitate toward the 116613LN. Those considering the blue two-tone Submariner from this era should explore the Rolex 116613LB, which carries the Rolex Bluesy nickname.
