Cookie Monster

Why it matters

Cookie Monster is the Rolex Submariner in white gold with a blue bezel and a black dial, reference 126619LB. It is constantly confused with the Smurf, which is the same white gold case and blue bezel but with a blue dial. The dial color is the entire difference, and it changes both the look and the price.

Because both are solid white gold, weight is a quick sanity check; these are far heavier than a steel Submariner. Ask for the reference number in writing and a clear black-dial photo so a Cookie Monster is not listed as a Smurf by mistake.
