What does “Cookie Monster” mean?
Submariner Date, white gold, black dial, blue bezel.
Cookie Monster, explained
'Cookie Monster' is the nickname for the Rolex Submariner Date 126619LB, introduced in 2020 in 18k white gold with a black dial and a blue ceramic bezel, a dark blue and black combination that reminded collectors of the cartoon character. It belongs to the 41 mm Submariner generation with caliber 3235.
It replaced the 116619LB 'Smurf', which had a blue dial, so the two are often compared. Some buyers prefer the more understated black dial for everyday wear, while others seek out the blue-dial predecessor. As a precious-metal sports watch, it appeals to buyers who want the Submariner's shape with the weight and discretion of white gold, which from a distance looks much like steel. In any listing, the card date, whether the watch is unworn and the completeness of the set are the main points, along with the condition of the gold case and bracelet.
Example: 'Cookie Monster 126619LB, 2023, worn twice, full set with hang tag.'
