Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent Condition. This watch has been extremely well-preserved, maintaining thick lugs and sharp factory chamfers.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The blue sunray dial is vibrant and flawless, as are the 18k yellow gold hands and hour markers. The sapphire crystal is clear of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The case shows very minimal wear. The blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel is in perfect condition, with the gold-deposited numerals remaining bright and crisp.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: The Yellow Rolesor Oyster bracelet is in excellent structural shape with no stretch. While there are light surface hairlines on the polished gold center links, a light professional polish would return the bracelet to a "like-new" factory appearance. The Glidelock clasp functions perfectly.

What Makes the 116613LB Special
The reference 116613LB, affectionately known by collectors as the "Bluesy," is perhaps the most iconic two-tone sports watch ever produced. This specific iteration is defined by its "Maxi Case" design, which provides a significant, modern presence on the wrist through broader lugs and a larger crown guard compared to its predecessors. The star of the show is the electric sunray blue dial, which shifts in tone from a deep navy to a vibrant cobalt depending on the light, perfectly complementing the luster of the 18k yellow gold.
As a 2018 model, this timepiece represents the refined late-production era of the 40mm Submariner. It features the highly reliable Calibre 3135 movement and the indispensable Glidelock clasp, allowing for 20mm of tool-free adjustment. For the collector who wants a tool watch that effortlessly transitions into a luxury statement piece, the 116613LB remains the gold standard. Its blend of high-performance diving specs and unapologetic gold aesthetics makes it a foundational piece for any serious collection.
