Two tone Sub on a SS bracelet

Hi chaps,

One question: why isn't this a thing?

I stumbled upon this image online (apologies uncredited). It looks like an instant classic to me.

Would it be sacrilege to DIY this look? Great (and interesting!) way to stand out from the Rolex pack...

Appreciate your thoughts.

Luke

It's just a bracelet swap. If you had another ss subc you can do it.

I think the gold center links tie the whole watch together.

Not a fan, the bluesy is such an icon this seems like blasphemy, although my opinion only, if you like it rock it. Some guys put this watch head on leather, to each their own.

that looks like the white gold solid sub to me. That's how it comes. Blue face and bezel, white gold case and band. Beautiful watch....

It looks OK but I wouldn't do it.

To each his own, though.

I don't like it. TT with TT, SS with SS. PM with PM.

i wore a 16613 on a stainless jubilee for a while ,,, it was very comfy ,,
but it was just stainless , the gold center ties the whole thing in well , maybe a bi metal jubilee would have worked well , but i didnt have one spare.
the gold through the clasp really helps the overall look too.

I love it. I would definitely wear that if I had my 116613ln and 114060 at the same time.
