Our take on the Rolex Submariner Date 126618LB Full Yellow Gold "Blue Dial" Watch

The Submariner Date 126618LB is the full 18k yellow gold version of Rolex's dive watch, with a blue dial and a blue Cerachrom bezel. Its 41 mm Oyster case is rated to 300 m, and the Cal. 3235 movement gives about 70 hours of power reserve. It is the most opulent Submariner in the line, so it suits buyers who want a gold dive watch rather than a steel one. Against the steel Submariner it is far heavier and far more conspicuous, and it competes with gold dive watches from Omega and Audemars Piguet rather than with ordinary tool watches. Owners rate it highly for its finish and its blue-on-gold look.

Questions and answers

How does the 126618LB differ from a steel Submariner?
It uses a full 18k yellow gold case and bracelet instead of steel, and it pairs a blue dial with a blue Cerachrom bezel. The 41 mm size, 300 m water resistance and date function carry over.
What movement does it use?
It runs the Rolex Cal. 3235, a chronometer-certified automatic with about 70 hours of power reserve.
Is it too heavy for daily wear?
It is substantially heavier than a steel Submariner because of the solid gold. Many owners wear it daily, but it is a noticeable weight on the wrist.
Can I swim or dive with it?
Yes. It is rated to 300 m with a screw-down crown and a unidirectional rotating bezel, so it is built for water use.
Does the blue bezel fade?
The Cerachrom ceramic insert is made to resist scratching and UV fading, so the blue should hold its color over time.
What is in the box?
A Rolex watch is supplied with its Oyster case, warranty card and documentation. Confirm the exact contents with the seller.
