I like the milsub project mentioned over there. I've always wanted to do a milsub mod, but didn't want to start with a Sandoz.

Yeah, the milsub is a LRRP variant, which is ~42mm. This new sub project is Rolex sub sized, ~40mm.


The LRRPs and milsubs are nearing completion. Bill's blog stated on 1/25 that the parts had come in and had been inspected. They'll be shipped to Switzerland for assembly (and the addition of the movement). Once they're shipped back, the pre-builts will ship and they'll begin tearing down watches for the custom-built ones...

The MilSub and LRRP 1655 Homage look interesting.
