My first post!! 16610 blue...I´m nuts??
Hi all!! I love all original models but I love SS watches... Blue bezel and dial drives me crazy...so... do you think is a good idea to convert a 16610 to a full blue?
Thanks!

Madness. If you want a blue Sub, Tudor offers the Black Bay and Pelagos. Older Tudors have blue dials too.

Thanks!
Depends on your definition of the word 'convert'. If you mean modify, then no. If you mean trade up, then sure, why not.

Its a little wrong to make a SS watch look WG by changing the bezel and dial. You do what you want but maybe you should looking into a different watch with a blue dial and keep it factory.

Nothing wrong at all about it; it's his watch and he can run it over with a steam roller if he wants. What wrong is passing off a watch for something it isn't by selling it fraudulently.

Yeah...give the blue Pelagos a shot if this is the look you're after. I couldn't be happier with mine.

You can certainly do whatever you want with your watch. But it's sort of like putting a Bentley badge on your Chrysler 300. Yeah people may mistake it for a Bentley...but it's not.

Have you thought about a blue bezel? Here's a pic of a 16610LV with a blue bezel insert from TRF member Evo6.

It's a really nice look with a touch of blue!
