The Two-Tone Bluesy Submariner Collectors Ask For

A sober read on where the steel-and-gold blue Submariner sits in the secondary market — and what buyers actually pay up for.

The Two-Tone Bluesy Submariner Collectors Ask For

The two-tone Submariner has a nickname collectors use without thinking: the Bluesy. This is the current 41mm version, ref 126613LB — steel and yellow gold, blue dial under a matching blue ceramic bezel, on the Oyster bracelet. Ours is a 2021 piece, unworn, with papers.

In the pre-owned market this reference sits in a liquid spot. Plain steel Submariners still move fastest, but the blue two-tone holds its own crowd: buyers who want gold weight on the wrist without the all-gold price, and who specifically want blue over black. That preference is the thing people pay up for.

Condition is where the read gets sharp. An unworn example with papers trades differently than a worn one, and the ceramic bezel resists the fading that used to punish older aluminum inserts — so value leans hard on box, papers, and wear. This one is clean on all three.
