Just Arrived From ABC -- Highly Modified **Purists Beware**

I have been after this watch for a couple years now. My friend Markus(bondtoys) has done most of the mods before I purchased it, and I have been trying to buy it from him since its 'almost' completion probably 2 years ago. I always told him that if he ever decided to sell it, I was his man. He finally relented and sold the watch to me. What a gentleman folks.

This watch started off its life as a 16610LV. These are the Modifications:

-- Shaved CGs by ABC Watchwerks
--Black Bezel insert for 16610
--Rolex Crystal sans cyclops
--Hands/Dial swap from 116610

And Lastly, ABC Watchwerks just installed fixed bars for me. I know that many may not care at all for the abomination, but I love it. It is a nod to the vintage MilSub and Big Crowns without using anything aftermarket. Altered beyond repair?? Yes, but still 100% Rolex. I think this one should work pretty well for diving..........









You can't tell too much from this last picture, but the Chromalight blue is quite different from the green PIP on the bezel insert. Would be nice if it matched, but I'm ok with the different colors........
