Any Info on a new C+ Factory Rolex 126613 LB Bluesy with Tungsten Center Links?

Hello RWI Fam,

I stumbled across this on Reddit. C+ factory is making a tungsten center link 126613 LB Presumably with 3235 but I can’t confirm. In fact, I can’t confirm this at all since I have only seen a post and have no information.

I wanted to begin the discussion with everyone in case anyone had anything to add.

If this is true, then they need to take my money already!

Yes it's true. Will be released in the coming weeks.

Bumping this up the thread to see if anyone has any further intel on release date or has pics

FYI that's not a 126x that's 116x. Look at the color of the text. I know C+ released the "promo" images with the 126x but they're wrong.

As for your other question, since I've also been researching this, here's some images. I think it looks great. It comes with the VS3135 so good movement. And you can see that the side links are plated as well.

Also, it's not made of tungsten center links. I don't know where you heard this. The bracelet is not tungsten.

As long as the shade of blue is correct and the gold isn’t noticeably off, sounds like it could be a winner

so it sounds like all the weight will be in the caseback huh? so not a nice balanced feeling with the bracelet being heavier

Yep but still a huge improvement, the first of it's kind of model to have this for a submariner, it'll open the flood gates tbh

We haven't seen any innovation in the Submariner category for a few years, this is the first one, so I'm all for it

This has been hugely informative and sadly disappointing! Was looking forward to the 126x series for sure. Now I’m curious how they got the weight correct.. also wondering if it is worth it compared to Clean

they really should make a limited run of full gold or platinum watches for some models, like a daytona or DD. If the market can hold up 1200$ Daytons on rubber surely theres 500 or 1000 people who would drop the $ on a full gold and get some otherwise non rep owning, gen collectors to use one as a beater, ie use the reps bracelet on their gen so they can be worry free on their market condition 250k$ patek while using a 6k$ rep bracelet.

all I know is id buy one...
