About the Rolex Submariner 126613LB

The Rolex Submariner 126613LB is the current-production two-tone Submariner Date with a sunburst blue dial and matching blue Cerachrom bezel. Known to collectors as the Rolex Bluesy, the pre-owned 126613LB is available at WatchGuys in both unworn and pre-owned condition, with every piece authenticated by our in-house watchmakers. Introduced in 2020, the 126613LB combines Oystersteel with 18k yellow gold in a material Rolex calls Yellow Rolesor. The gold elements include the center bracelet links, crown, crown guard, and winding crown, while the case flanks and outer bracelet links are crafted from corrosion-resistant Oystersteel. This two-tone Rolex configuration creates one of the most recognizable sport watches in the Rolex catalog, blending dive tool functionality with the warmth of precious metal.

Rolex 126613LB Key Specifications

The 126613LB features a 41mm Yellow Rolesor case with a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a blue Cerachrom ceramic insert. Platinum-coated numerals and graduations on the bezel resist fading and scratching. The sunburst blue dial uses Chromalight luminescent material on the hands and hour markers, providing a blue glow in low-light conditions. Inside, the Caliber 3235 delivers a 70-hour power reserve, Chronergy escapement, and Superlative Chronometer precision of plus or minus two seconds per day. The Oyster bracelet includes the Glidelock extension system for tool-free adjustments up to 20mm. Water resistance is rated to 300 meters, and a date window at 3 o'clock with Cyclops magnification completes the dial layout. Unlike the previous-generation 116613LB, which used gold-colored dial text, the 126613LB features white dial text for a cleaner, more modern appearance.

Rolex Submariner 126613LB Price

Pre-owned Rolex 126613LB watches typically range from $15,000 to $19,000 on the secondary market depending on year, condition, and completeness. Unworn examples with recent warranty cards trade at the higher end of that range, while pre-owned pieces from earlier production years sit closer to the lower end. The 126613LB currently trades near or slightly below its retail price, making the pre-owned market a competitive option. The LB trades $1,000 to $2,000 higher than the black-dialed Rolex 126613LN, reflecting the Bluesy's stronger collector demand.

Rolex 126613LB vs. 116613LB

The 126613LB succeeded the Rolex 116613LB in 2020 with several upgrades. The case grew from 40mm to 41mm, though the lugs were slimmed down 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. One of the most visible changes is the dial text: the 116613LB used gold-colored printing, while the 126613LB uses white text, giving the current model a cleaner contrast against the blue dial. The previous-generation Rolex 116613 family trades for roughly $3,000 less than the current model, making it a strong option for buyers who want the two-tone blue Submariner look at a lower entry point. For the earliest generation, see the Rolex 16613.
