Investment scorecard

Momentum47Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.

Liquidity88How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity67Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.

Value entry32Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.

Condition safety90How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The ceramic version of the two-tone 'Bluesy' Submariner: blue dial, blue bezel, yellow gold accents. The blue sunburst dial changes from royal blue to almost black depending on the light.

It ran from 2009 to 2020 and was replaced by the 41mm 126613LB, so this is the last 40mm two-tone Sub.

Two-tone's comeback has helped it, and it trades a little under the current model for nearly the same look.

It is one of the easier gold-touched Submariners to sell, because the blue and gold scheme has a fan base that never fully went away.

Our verdict: The classic Bluesy look at a previous-generation discount. Blue dial over black.
