I think Rolex has yet to perfect the use of color with the submariner. What would you like to see in the future? Color, case material, movement, etc?

For color i would like to see rotting cherry red or any other type of red and of course yellow will smash it. Case material for sure steinless steel bcs of price, watches almost look the same. Conclusion is that the yellow will lunch Subs onto new level. 💛

I absolutely love the Smurf. But with a price tag the size of a Jeep Wrangler, I purchased the Tudor Pelagos to fill my need for a blue ceramic bezel as well as a stunning dial. The Pelagos doesn’t get the respect it deserves for the immense lume that it gives off. But after only four months, it didn’t fill the void that was created the first time I laid eyes on the Smurf. I traded my Pelagos and emptied my savings to own the Smurf. See, I’m not wealthy. Buying a 36K watch was a real sacrifice. But I have such a passion and love for high end time pieces I couldn’t live without one. I’m wearing mine as I watch this video and it hasn’t lost its luster....

Smurf for me (theoretically, as I can’t afford it). I was in Boston back in October and I fancied a look at the latest Submariner in steel, wondering if one was available, as steel sports Rolexes were getting hard to find. Anyway, my fears were realised, when I noted that there were absolutely zero SS sports models in this AD. However, I got chatting to the sales executive, who was very sympathetic, but also enthusiastic and realising that I wasn’t gonna get the timepiece I yearned for, he humoured me nonetheless, a watch nerd of the highest order, he waxed lyrical about all sorts of watches from all manner of brands and promised me that I could at least handle a subby. Lo and behold, he brought out a Smurf, I was gobsmacked, this thing was amazing, the vibrant blue was astonishing and the weight........incredible! There is no way I can ever afford one of these fabulous timepieces, but boy, this guy made my day! No snobbishness, no pretension, this guy at this AD made a poor man happy and for that, I thank him. Nice video Teddy, keep up the good work.

Great video, brother. The Smurf has to be one of the best Rolex Sleepers out there. Love it! I'm just wanting them to dig deeper...like bringing back a more vibrant Root beer GMT - like the 16753 with a Tiger's eye dial and the works. A special line of submariners with a returning Explorer dial. A Milgauss that reimagines the 1019. They have too many options at their disposal to play around with, but alas...

I prefer the Hulk as the other is just too much blue for my liking while the Hulk's sunburst dial keeps it a touch more reserved. Plus, I feel like green a more neutral color and blends better than blue, which stands out more. As for blue Rolex watches, I tend to side with the "Batman" GMT-Master II, having it balanced with a bit of black.

The price of the Smurf is definitely the biggest deterrent imho, and I snap it up in a heartbeat in SS. Theoretically a Pelagos could fulfill my desire for a brilliant blue, but it’s too big and chunky for my taste. Hulk is a pretty cool piece, but I’m more of a blue guy than green. Nice review and thanks for another glimpse of my favorite Sub!
