Anyone done this with a non-ceramic Sub and aftermarket dial? Would love to see a pic of that also...

I actually ordered a blue dial for a 16610 I once owned. The quality was so bad I sent it back. I love the look though!

Sam, I did the same. I ordered another one last week after getting multiple macro pictures. I'll post my blue/black 16610 "creation" when she's done. Sorry if I hijacked this thread, just a little.

That's great would love to see that - the blue 16610 aftermarket dial do you have a pic of it?

This is not my source, but this eBay dial is very similar:

The macro pics of my incoming dial are on my other PC.

The brand new subc white gold blue dial from AD took forever to source - they are next to impossible to obtain.

Best looking Rolex, hands down and in stealth precious metal.
I like the modded one above, but the 116619 is a grail, just lose yourself in the blue.
