Will Red datewheel fit SDDS/Sub-c

My friend and I want to mod our watches a little.

Does the red datewheel from the TOG 116263/4 fit the SDDS and Sub-c?

I think it will look sick!

cheers guys!

I would love the look of the red second hand and red date wheel on my DSSD. That would look awesome.

Unfortunately...anyone who opens up a DSSD just to do these mods has just voided any warranty and you also won't have the watch pressure tested to it's maximum depths as only Rolex can do that on the Deep Sea....not a risk i'm willing to take at a local place. But, it would look great.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Even on a NATO bracelet.

Would Rolex make the second-hand and date-wheel changes for you, retaining the watch's warranty? (On the basis that mine is a whole 2 weeks old!)

But you'll need a red minute-hand from from a YM. That would be a freakin' awesome mod!!!!

Remember to post the pix!!!
