I’ve always been hesitant about buying a white gold piece due to them flying under the radar...... However, I would definitely buy this piece and keep it as part of my permanent collection...... Rolex killed it with this piece!

I have it and its fantastic, subtle with the white gold but the weight lets you know its substantial

my new Favorite Sub .. by far... this is the best of all worlds.... gold (heft), steel (looks), and color bezel .. it's a no brainer "Grail Sub"... much better than the Hulk, or Kermit..

Great video Eric, wonderful work and love to see you have your own channel. Your videos have the ideal length for me not too long, too the points which are important like a puncher throwing direct hits. Love your work and keep it up! As far as the new subs go I definitely prefer the new black dial with either blue of green bezel. The all blue Smurf and all green Hulk were just a bit too much of funfair watches to me. But then again I'm biased because I'm a GMT guy and a sucker for a plain dial with a colored bezel so yeah no wonder. Too me this new variation really fits well with the white gold as Eric describes it a more sleek 'under the radar look', because there is still the yellow gold variant with a blue dial & blue bezel as a more 'in your face' look. Even more diversification, I love it.

Recently I went to my Rolex ad and they brought out for fun this factory Rolex submariner smurf with a sapphire bezel and diamond lugs. That watch is a heavy heavy hitter I haven’t even seen it before. Retail is 98000.

Always a good day when Eric drops a video!! 👍🏻🔥

Since when it was released I thought it was the most beautiful among all. Nice to see that I'm not the only one that noticed it! I think that when the market will stabilize, it will trade at 10% over retail. Can you imagine if they had done that combination in steel?

Thank you Nick!! I have put in the effort.

I own the 126619lb since a week now, at first the clasp and wider bracelet were strange …not gonna lie. Specialy since i owned the GMT 116710Ln with the small and thin clasp compared to this.. but now it grew on me and i prettymuch just love it!

I picked mine up yesterday and I love it! In real life it doesn't look like steel - there is a slight yellow tint to it. And it's got a sparkle that steel watches don't have. Amazing watch. I will never sell it so I don't care about market value

thanks Eric 👍 for another great review.. love your chanel, cheers from Copenhagen , Denmark

Both watches are amazing. Nice video Eric. Im still waiting the video for the Rolex Vintage collection of John Mayer .

A shout from Melbourne Oz Eric ! Great review Eric, keep the Rolex content coming, the cermit is my pick

Hey man, congrats on the new watch. It does look beautiful. And you make great reviews. Also, bro if you ever wanna sell your old blue dial smurf, just know I am interested in buying one.

A black sub with blue bezel. Thanks for excellent work, Eric.

I found myself going all over your videos just to do like and to get more knowledge well deserved brother good luck 👍

Beautiful Rolex my brother! Will you eventually do a review on the Explorer ll polar?

Glad you pointed out how people ask about 'over retail'. The Rolex market is no longer about enthusiasts who love a watch and want to wear it, its just about the 'investment'.

It's difficult. I have a really good connection to my dealer and therefor i have not that big problem to get the "hot pieces". And sure, if offered....i buy them. Possible that this watch is not goeing under my skin after a few weeks.....it's no problem for my dealer releationship to sell a Omega, Breitling, Panerai. But a Rolex? Making a huge profit (even far more than the AD) it is not the best idea, chance be kicked out of the delivery chain. ;-)

Yet most of the pieces do end up on the grey market, so clearly these preferred customers who get the hot pieces are selling them off, and quickly. Once its out the door, dealers don't care what happens. I suspect that most of the time they know that watch is going to be resold in a matter of weeks.

Blueberry. Fantastic and I'm not usually a fan boy of all the usual Rolex suspect's. But love Rolex sports design overall. Desirable because it's gold and looks like steel which is so hard to get. It will go up. I love the yellow gold GMT with green dial.

I really like it. I would buy it to keep, not for profit. The blue and black just goes really well in my opinion.

Top Sub, and now selling under retail on the aftermarket.

the blue of the bezel is wicked nice. that's a great looking piece. I'd like it on my wrist ! ~ JDS/CT

I prefer yellow or rose, for the same reason you mentioned, I dont want to spend the extra money for something that looks so much like stainless steel. I feel the same way about jewelry. My girl likes white gold but it looks like sterling silver

It's all about the dial, prefer the discontinued smurf by far.

“…they call it ‘the bruise’”. Love that.

Sick piece!!

Having people getting into the watch world more and more makes people willing to have different watches from what we are used to see . It's a rolex , we all know that the blue dial is white gold . You can count on people ( even if they don't know much about it because they just follow the current trend ) to know that it's gold . On top of that , you have a stealthy look having a white gold watch .

Eric, is there any difference in height, shape or diameter Smurf bezel vs. the new one? My 36mm Turn-O-Graph and my 40mm Yachtmaster...same sized crystal, hands, dial and even the jubilee/oyster could be changed.

Thank you and nicely done Eric! This 41mm White Gold Submariner (Ref 126619LB) is a subtle yet GORGEOUS watch. A PERFECT daily! Quite interestingly...I thought it would garner a HUGE premium over its current Rolex AD MSRP of $42,000 here in the USA. Instead, it's now one of the LEAST EXPENSIVE FULL GOLD ROLEX sport watches sold in the current grey market, regularly selling for well UNDER Rolex MSRP. I've been eyeing a 2022 MINT/LIGHTLY USED for a $32,950 wire price direct to a highly reputable grey market dealer I've done business with in the past. And prices seem to be dropping further by the day on this specific White gold Submariner model, while the Stainless Steel Subs continue to sell at a significant premium OVER MSRP. I'm not sure why...maybe somebody can address that??? And again...I think this is a STUNNING watch!! Just beautiful!

I wana white gold day date which one do you recommend dresses ed up ? Oyster Perpetual bracelet.

Good to see the subscriber count growing. You will soon be back to the old numbers 👏👊

Great video as always Eric. Had this been in SS rather than white gold, demand will reach the moon and consequently, the discontinued hulk will most definitely fall in price on the gray market and the Cermit will more than likely be an afterthought to Rolex fan boys.

Love this watch but the 40K USD retail 2024 doesn’t make sense, especially over a Kermit/Starbucks at 15K. Also as we speak this watch is 25-30% below retail which is great! I think at the 20K USD it makes sense second hand, currently at 29 there’s still a lot of room to go down. If anyone paid 10-15K over retail that sucks loll

Nice man!

This one caught my eye since introduced.. 💙 And I think if Rolex have released this one - The "BMW" as I love to call it - alone as a sole change of the submariner lineup, without altering other models it would have become a hit. Just this .. 41mm black dial blue bezel white gold People would sit for years and anticipate for the next upcoming 41 mm .. gmt? Coke ?!.
