	The 116619LB is the first white-gold Submariner and the first Submariner fitted with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Rolex introduced it at Baselworld 2008, two years before the steel 116610LN received ceramic in 2010. Collectors call it the Smurf, for the blue dial and blue bezel on a case that reads silver from across a room. White gold looks like steel in photographs, but weighs roughly twice as much, and the difference is obvious on the wrist the moment the watch goes on. That stealth-wealth quality drives much of the collector appeal.		The 116619LB is the first white-gold Submariner and the first Submariner fitted with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel.
