Want to see a wicked two tone?

Love a nice bluesy but you don’t see a lot of these.

It is a Sean case and the rest is Rolex. Oh the band is a wrappped sub band. Need to find a real YM band.

Pity I sent back the YM hands I received instead of sub hands. However my advice would be avoid luxini_hamburg like the plague.

Yea. I remember you telling me. I got a set or 16803 hands from them. The min had fell apart in under a year. I don’t know what they use to age their hands but it made the tritium brittle.

These hands are The proper Super lum Rolex hands.

I sense that you're happy with your new blusy build but I could be mistanken XD

I absolutely love it :)

Would you believe it is possibly my joint second favourite watch. The only thing that beats it is my 5513. I unfortunately have to agree with @QueTip there is no good OOB Bluesy with the exception of the old WM9s but some of those are getting tired now. I am not a big Franken fan but with the Bluesy if you love it you have to build it.

Your old 16803 dial is absolutely minty.

I believe you ;) I feel the same way about my 1680.
But you (and Quetip) are absolutely right, it really is a watch that you have to built. The gold really is hard to replicate - in fact I just (finally) ordered a 18K bezel ring for my 16613. Until now I have had a plated bezel on it and it simply doesn't do the job. I'm so looking forward to get it on the watch! Hopefully this week :)

Now I "just" need a decent bracelet XD

Thanks, I really did like that dial, but I'm more of a "light blue" bluesy man, so now (as you know) it found a new home yesterday.

I might just pick up a 16613 dial at some stage just to see what it looks like in the watch. That is the beauty of a build you can just mix and match.

Do it, man [emoji6]

Exactly! Here is a picture with my old 16803 dial and one with the newer light blue 16613 dial (both tritium).
