16613 is a two tone sub. 16613LB is a two tone sub with a blue dial and bezel. 16613LN is a two tone sub with a black dial and bezel. And you don’t look ignorant. Only stupid questions are ones you ask more than once!!

I highly doubt it’s one of the best ever, yet I truly appreciate your sentiment!! Inspiring someone to wear their watch more is a great compliment!! Thank you!! Don’t let the farm pics scare you, the watch came out fine!!

Wonderful! Fantastic, enthralling photos, Goat! I thoroughly enjoyed scrolling through them! What a pleasure to see a thread like this, showing a man wearing a Sub and using it in situations that would give the "I´ve scratched my Rolex" brigade heart attacks! Like you I wear my Rolex 14060 for everything, and it´s been all around the world with me, dropped, banged, dinged and scratched for more than 26 years now...I just love it! Never babied it. TRF needs more threads like this! Cheers!

The gold text on the Bluesy is the epitome of class and perfection, and makes the Bluesy that much more special. Shame on Rolex for going with white text on the new 12 series. Beautiful photos. Wear in good health; Which you already seem to be doing.

That Bluesy can't be a real Rolex, they are not built for that!

Just kidding, what a great great set of photos!! That puts the other thread today, of cleaning it with all the special toothbrushes in a different perspective...

Keep it up I would say!

Thank you for the well wishes!! I agree with the sentiment about the white text on the new subs however, if that’s what Rolex wants, who am I to argue? Seems many like it, only thing it does is make me not buy one.

Lol, as far as I know it’s real. It’s held up better than anything cheaper I’ve worn throughout the years.

Yeah. The cleaning brush people will have a stroke if they see the actual brush I use to wash mine with. Maybe I will snap a pic this evening and add it for fun!!

Thanks, I was going to do the "is it safe to wear a Rolex while doing martial arts" thread but looks like I already spent the shot here. Maybe I'll do it anyway.

Do it!! just add some action shots of you kicking some dudes teeth in. Then every time there’s a “is it safe to wear a Rolex to (insert random city here)” thread you just add that pic and say “it is for me”.

And that you for the thread! I thoroughly enjoyed your photo essay!!! BTW, hard to capture the kicks in photos as they're so fast.
