Moka-Tiger (Ron) shares his long-awaited acquisition, the Rolex Submariner ref. 126619LB, affectionately known as the "Cookie Monster." His post delves into the unique appeal of a white gold diver's watch, highlighting the subtle luxury and distinctive blue bezel that sets this reference apart. This article explores Ron's personal journey with this timepiece and synthesizes community insights on its growing allure.
After thinking about this one for 2
years, and seeing recent posts of it here, I decided that I was ready for some
WG on my wrist.
I love the hefty feel of an all-gold
watch and this time, I wanted to go as stealth as one can be with a WG Rolex (if that is possible). Ha!
I like the look of this easy-to-read, 3-hand diver’s watch with a
black dial. In some watches, like this one, their beauty lies in their simplicity.
And while I am not a fan of date windows, for some strange reason the date
window on this one doesn’t bother me.
Maybe I am seeing the Cyclops and not the
date. Ha ha!
Aaaah, but it’s that BLUE BEZEL that makes this
watch!! The color is truly amazing to see in person and in different lighting.
It’s a joy to see the striking contrast of that beautiful blue bezel against that
simple Sub black dial on the oh-so-slight yellowish tint of WG.
It’s superb. My Cookie Monster says “Hello” to
your Subs.
Hope you're doing well!!! And big congrats to you!
It seems that the fan base is quickly growing )) 🥂
Looks great! Love this iteration
Any plans for another trip to Japan?
Besides looking great, I think it's the idea (or madness) of getting a Rolex sub that costs lots $$$$$$ more than the SS, and looks basically the same. Of couse, those in the know recognize that blue bezel, which makes it a WG Cookie Monster. I think the fan base is attracted to the allure of that blue bezel. Ha ha.
It's such a fun watch, as you already know.
