The Submariner 16613 “Bluesy” is one of those watches that takes us right back to the golden days of the 1990s. The deep blue dial and bezel contrast beautifully with the yellow gold accents. As we often say, the 1661x line of the Submariner was perhaps the first in the family to fully evolve from a tool watch into a status symbol.

This example is in lovely condition. There are minor marks throughout, which we’ve chosen to leave as-is. The case is strong, and the dial is perfect. There is a small mark on the bezel at the 5 o’clock position. Two-tone watches do not get the love they deserve: a beautiful watch now spending its time on the other side of the pond.
