Icon20 FrankenWatch Idea

Since someone tried the idea of taken the new blue bezel from the
white gold blue sub and attaching to the Sub-C, has anyone tried
taken the green bezel from the new "Hulk" LV and putting on the
Ceramic Sub.. Food for thought

This idea comes up quite frequently lately...

Of course, it's such an expensive experiment that I don't know anybody who has tried it yet...

Could be interesting if Rolex breaks out of their box at Basel later this year.....

X2, actually this is why I chose the older version, didn't care much for the green dial personally.

I love the green dial of the new LV but don't like the bezel. I'd like to see one of the new LVs with a black bezel...

Nice. Still prefer the Shark look. Blue on black is stunning.

That was my thinking in the beginning Chris - different shade of green. Now I love how the green bezel insert changes colour too, from minty green to dark green.
The dial is dark/black-ish most times anyway, so it actually looks like a 16610LV most times.....

I have made a thread about comparing the 16610LV and 116610LV looks... Will look for that thread when I'm back on the MacBook later.

The ugliest would be Blue from WG SubC on SubC (green dial)

Blue over Green

Now that would be hideous
