Rolex Submariner 40mm 116610 "Smurf" Tribute (2016)

Rolex Submariner 40mm 116610 "Smurf" Tribute (2016)

Here is a rare chance to own a customized Rolex Submariner 116610LN, modified to pay homage to the legendary White Gold Submariner 116619LB “Smurf.” The 116619 “Smurf” is one of the most sought-after Submariners ever made, and in today’s market examples in this condition are easily trading north of $32,000. This carefully customized piece gives you the look and presence of that iconic watch at nearly half the cost.


This 2016 stainless steel 116610LN comes complete with box and papers and has recently undergone a full overhaul to ensure accurate function and reliability. During its service, the watch received a number of enhancements and upgrades that transform it into a stunning Smurf tribute:

  • Movement: Fully serviced and currently running flawlessly.
  • Crystal: Replaced with a brand-new aftermarket sapphire crystal.
  • Bezel Insert: Custom blue ceramic insert to mirror the 116619LB’s iconic look.
  • Dial: Customized Rolex OEM dial refinished in vivid blue for that signature “Smurf” styling.
  • Bracelet: Brand-new Oyster bracelet featuring polished center links with full links intact, and fitted with Rolex’s Glidelock clasp for versatile sizing.

To create a complete and versatile package, the set also includes original components:

  • Original black dial
  • Original black ceramic bezel insert (note: broken)
  • Original Rolex sapphire crystal (with nicks and chips)

Highlights:

  • Condition: Excellent overall; just serviced with new parts and customization, running beautifully
  • Case Size: 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case
  • Includes: Box and papers, documenting its provenance

This is an incredible opportunity for someone who loves the aesthetics of the White Gold “Smurf” but doesn’t want to spend over $32k for the reference 116619. With this Submariner 116610LN tribute, you get the same striking blue dial and bezel look with modern Rolex performance at a much more approachable price point.
