Replica Rolex Submariner series 116613LB-0003 40mm

The 116613LB occupies a distinctive space in the Submariner lineage as the two-tone Rolesor variant with a blue dial and bezel. Where the all-steel Submariner is purely a tool watch and the full-gold versions lean into luxury, the 116613LB splits the difference: Oystersteel for structure on the case sides and outer bracelet links, yellow gold plating for the bezel, crown, crown guards, centre bracelet links, and winding crown. At 40mm, this is the pre-2020 case size that many collectors still prefer for its balanced proportions.

Key Specifications

The 116613LB Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet

The blue sunburst dial shifts between deep navy and vivid azure depending on the light, framed by a matching blue Cerachrom bezel with platinum-coated numerals. Maxi luminescent hour markers in gold plating provide excellent contrast against the blue ground, and a date aperture at three is magnified by the Cyclops lens. The yellow gold-plated crown guards and winding crown stand out against the Oystersteel case flanks.

The two-tone Oyster bracelet alternates between steel outer links and gold centre links, tapering slightly toward the Glidelock clasp for a comfortable drape. The visual warmth of gold against polished steel gives this Submariner a presence that all-steel versions cannot match. Browse more two-tone options in the Submariner collection.
