I did the photoshop work, I'll make another one tonight showing just the date wheel red, and another showing just the second hand. Hopefully that will help you visualize and decide.

ufboy73 · 14 July 2013, 08:55 AM

normally, i like red but for some reason, i wouldnt do this mod to a sub-c

Chainring · 14 July 2013, 10:23 AM

I'm a wuss and the only mod I've do to a Rolex would be to put a leather strap on it but I really do like seeing what other courageous souls do. I say mod the hell out of it!

Chainring · 14 July 2013, 10:24 AM

FYI, I have Lum-Tec Tungsten with a modded red second hand and I don't like it. It's actually kind of hard to see.

I like the stock better. Maybe add the red wheel. But doesn't feel like the red second hand.

threemonkeys · 14 July 2013, 10:32 AM

With both.

Awesome!
Looking forward to them

z32turbo · 14 July 2013, 01:55 PM

I prefer original

ec51 · 14 July 2013, 02:08 PM

I'm still contemplating a red second hand for my 14060M.

Dr. Robert · 14 July 2013, 03:09 PM

I like red....do both....damn the torpedoes...go all out!

Baselman · 14 July 2013, 05:47 PM

patrike · 14 July 2013, 06:31 PM

You have a dive watch.

Red is the first color that starts to disappear underwater, at around 20ft. I guess it would be a rare occasion that you would need to know the date while diving, but less rare to need the second hand sweep.

Personally, even though my diving is now limited to snorkeling, I would not do a mod that is contrary to the intended use of the watch.

I think it looks fine, but I would not.

True enough, but when diving, the dive computer is what 99% of us depend on these days for safety. While dive watches accompany many of us on dives still, they are a back up to time a dive. If the computer fails, I for one will end the dive and surface safely.

You could clearly tell where they drew inspiration from on that watch design.

Watchdog · 15 July 2013, 01:59 AM

I like it!

anothernewphone · 15 July 2013, 02:15 AM

A roulette date wheel on a Sub would be awesome.

petenyc · 15 July 2013, 02:17 AM

No mod

DCheeta · 15 July 2013, 04:30 AM

As promised, mock-ups for red seconds hand only, and red date only.

Wow, I like them both.
I do agree that one or the other would look better then both, question is now WHICH ONE

robie · 15 July 2013, 04:44 AM

Yeah, I did the easy part. Now you have the hard part - deciding! The good thing is, there is no deadline for this decision, and in the meantime you have a great SubC to wear.

Looks cool, you can always change it back if you get tired of it. :)

dvdwyn · 17 July 2013, 11:32 AM

looks very nice indeed...

lja1821 · 17 July 2013, 12:06 PM

the red dw with the oem seconds doesnt look right to me.. I would either do both or just the red second hand

cht · 17 July 2013, 01:36 PM

Sorry, makes it look cheap and tacky...

You turned elegant black and white chess into childrens black and red checkers.

To each their own, if you like it, blah blah blah...

gfxbt · 17 July 2013, 01:56 PM

I think it looks kind of cool. As for those saying they would never mod a rolex, I think that applies more to vintage, not new. I wouldn't mod a vintage rolex, much as I would not mod a vintage car. A new car however, well I'd have no problem changing suspension, software tube, etc. Go with what you like best. I vote

1: only the second hand
2: both
3: only date wheel.

Best of luck!
