Hi guys, Just wanted to share with you my latest acquisition! This V series 116619, also know as the Smurf! I got this one on Tuesday and have been wearing it since. I am very happy with it and I think it will make an incredible daily watch. I like the fa...  

I have the yellow gold

with the blue dial. Love both versions.

Congratulations with your 'Smurf'

Ach....what is silly? A sports watch in WG? Maybe. Silly could also be strapping on a 47 mm rose gold dive watch with a depth rating of 50m and going to the office? Do you like it? That's all that counts in the end.

Yeah

some said that a sports watch in WG is silly, other said that this watch is the very same of a steel sub, so I'm paying a big premium for the blue color. But i dont mind it, they have their opinion and I have mine.

The Smurf is my wife's favorite Rolex

so I think of it as if I've been given carte blanche to get it whenever I want. Hehe. And seeing posts like yours makes me wonder why I haven't. Beautiful watch. Enjoy.

Silly is...

... not to follow your own heart (in order to please other people). Many congrats to this stunning piece! Unbelievable how the colour varies in different light conditions. I think I have to consider this watch too for my next acquisition. Enjoy it and wea... 

Thanks Thomas

This is a piece, like most of our watches, that yo need to feel and love. If you feel it and that you are madly in love with it, it is not a stupid purchase. I know some good friends and serious collectors who liked it and got it, and they are still madly... 

I would not have bought it

If I didnt love it!! I think its a iconic piece and really like the way it look and feel! Thanks for looking my friend!

How can it be silly? I think you made a great choice

I believe this is a beautiful and massive,y underrated piece. The WG on a Rolex is always wonderful and the blue dial and bezel look fantastic. It\'s a stunning piece. The group shot at the end though is something to behold and has everyone\'s favourite i... 

That group shot is amazing

Wish all pieces were mine lol!

Big congrats Andre!

nothing silly at all. The white gold blue sub is the sub! Discreetly luxurious and classy and the blue bezel and dial are to die for. Well you can still do some basic sports with it such as Swimming in the pool or some outdoor activities such as Cycling e... 

Everything!

IMHO you can do everything / and every activity with this watch. My experience with Rolex gold alloy is that it seems tougher than others and really resistant. So I wouldn\'t handle it too gentle. Just my 2 c. Best, Thomas

You are right Thomas !

i heard Rolex 's gold alloy is a lot more resistant to the elements. Their everose for eg is supposed to always have the pink gold color without copper oxidization A lot of materials engineering there to bond the elements stronger is what some folks have ...

Lol that's quite a funny story ;)

thank God JLC could fix it to perfection again

Yes :-)

Heaven punishes and forgives... Best, Thomas

Yes!

I used it to swim this weekend! no problem at all

Beautiful piece...

 
 By: Andy : August 13th, 2016-01:27
As you said be very understated which I like a lot. If I get another Sub it will be this one for sure. Is the blue bezel the same blue as on the GMT or is it a bit darker..? Awesome group shot too Andy.

I think that it is a bit brighter

Beautiful
