Did you make an insert swap on a WG Sub, or a dial swap on a SS one?

The color counterpoint is interesting...

Bangel · 29 December 2013, 09:16 PM

Looking good.

I suspected I'd be seeing the "deep blue" when I clicked on this thread!

He swapped the dial on a 116610.

I am the minority here but I don't think it looks good / "right", but if you enjoy it then

xjeeunitx · 29 December 2013, 09:15 PM

The look is fresh but IMHO, the colors don't really mix.

Lucky777 · 29 December 2013, 11:38 PM

Looks great

Racerdj · 29 December 2013, 11:41 PM

Looking good!

mjclark32 · 29 December 2013, 11:42 PM

Just wondering if I bring a sub LN and LV to RSC, would they do a dial or bezel swap for me ? How much do they charge ?

In a word... no.

btinl · 30 December 2013, 12:54 AM

The blue dial looks great when paired with the blue bezel. For some reason, the blue dial with black bezel looks off to me. Too much contrast maybe.

Interestingly, after seeing quite a few pics of this mod, I have to agree. It looks fantastic in some pics but "off" in others. Ultimately it's his watch to wear as he wants.

I think it looks good because it is a legit Rolex dial and you don't see that combo...anywhere.

Yes many thanks the only one in world I know of ;)

Baselman · 30 December 2013, 01:20 AM

Lol worst thing is I'm getting the Rolex itch again after QC and Steelers latest great acquisitions - new incoming soon I think.

anothernewphone · 30 December 2013, 01:40 AM

I think it looks awesome, but my brain is wired to tell me it isn't, because it's not "official." When I see something like this on, say, Instagram, my immediate thought would be "FAKE!" Knowing yours is real makes it bad ass, but it still causes a double-take in my head.

dysondiver · 30 December 2013, 01:47 AM

ill bet a black and blue gmt insert would look good in there ,,,, not do much , but look good

Mr. K · 30 December 2013, 02:07 AM

I think it looks okay. not your average sub for sure. And many people here like the combo.

But technically it is a "frankenwatch" OEM Rolex parts, just not put together in the OEM construction.

Makes me wonder why would this version is liked, while typically in the past, Frankenwatches have not? A change in thinking?

Is customization now okay? If so, thinking we will see some pretty cool watches being put together in the future.

Furbo · 30 December 2013, 05:30 AM

It's a SuBLNR

vitalsignsrn · 30 December 2013, 05:34 AM

I like this watch, frankewatch or not. To my eyes it looks sharp. It may not be all original, but I see nothing wrong with Baselman making it his own. Many here tweak their watches. ;-)

Its still a Rolex.
