Watch Description
The Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date in Oystersteel and yellow gold with a Cerachrom bezel insert in blue ceramic and a royal blue dial with large luminescent hour markers.
The Submariner's rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduations allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops.
Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof. A luminescent capsule on the zero marker ensures legibility, no matter how dark the environment. The bezel’s knurled edge is carefully designed to offer excellent grip under water, even with gloves.
The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers.
Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.
Gold is coveted for its lustre and nobility. Steel reinforces strength and reliability. Together, they harmoniously combine the best of their properties.
A true Rolex signature, Rolesor has featured on Rolex models since the early 1930s, and was trademarked as a name in 1933. It is one of the prominent pillars of the Oyster collection.

# Rolex Submariner Bluesy Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Rolex Submariner Bluesy (ref. 116619LB) is a premium luxury diver's watch in a 40mm 18 ct white gold Oyster case with iconic proportions, featuring a stunning sunray blue dial, unidirectional blue Cerachrom bezel, and applied hour markers with Chromalight lume, powered by the robust in-house automatic Calibre 3135 offering 48 hours of power reserve; targeted at affluent collectors and enthusiasts who want the legendary Submariner dive heritage in precious metal elegance for versatile sports and statement wear.
## Overall Watch Rating: 8.6/10.0
**Material Metric (9.9/10.0)** - Solid 18 ct white gold case and bracelet combined with Cerachrom ceramic bezel and double anti-reflective sapphire crystal deliver material quality on par with precious metal icons like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.9/10.0)** - The sunray blue dial, Mercedes handset, and perfectly proportioned bezel markings exemplify timeless perfection, benchmarked against the original Submariner that defined dive watch aesthetics.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.9/10.0)** - As the gold variant of the dive watch that invented the genre in 1953, it carries unparalleled historical significance and technical innovations like the Cerachrom bezel, rivaling Patek Philippe's Nautilus in legacy.
**Movement Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The Calibre 3135 offers chronometer-grade accuracy, Parachrom hairspring, and 31 jewels in Rolex's signature finishing, comparable to ETA 2824 upgrades in high-end customs but with proprietary reliability.
**Rarity Metric (9.0/10.0)** - With secondary prices around $28,500 and limited production of white gold models, it outshines common steel Subs in scarcity akin to Tudor's limited Black Bay editions.
**Brand Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Rolex's storied prestige and craftsmanship place it firmly among elite luxury brands like Omega, elevated by global recognition and enduring resale strength.
**Versatility Metric (8.5/10.0)** - Excellent for diving, casual, or suited wear despite gold weight, it edges out pure tool watches like the Omega Seamaster in formal adaptability.
**Functions Metric (7.8/10.0)** - Core time, date, and dive bezel timing provide solid utility for a sports watch, matching Seiko Prospex divers but elevated by premium execution.
**Complications Metric (5.3/10.0)** - The simple magnified date at 3 o'clock is reliable but basic, similar to entry-level automatics without the added complexity of Omega's Co-Axial moonphases.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 1.6
## WM Collector Grade: B-
## Performance Insights: Excels in materials, design, history, and movement for collector appeal, but basic complications and functions temper value relative to implied price of $42,000.
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: The watch offers legendary status and luxury build quality suitable for its luxury sports positioning, though functional simplicity suggests better deals in steel variants.
