Rolex Submariner Date 16613LB "Bluesy" – Z-Serial (2006/2007)
As a Z-serial production piece from approximately 2006–2007, this is the highly desirable "T" (no-holes) case variant featuring factory Solid End Links (SEL). It offers the perfect bridge between classic vintage wearability and modern build quality just before Rolex transitioned to the bulkier ceramic references.
