Hi all,

Here is a interesting Rolex Mod (not my picture or watch) they have taken a Rolex 14060 and turned the dial 180 degrees and made it into an left handed (Destro) model,

Innovative to say the least!

Upside down dial rotation!!
Interesting :)

JJL · 20 January 2011, 06:46 AM

temporary strap mod to my YM (for fun)

GeoGio Greece · 20 January 2011, 07:33 AM

Another one of "these", complete with date. This makes it a more complicated mod. ( not my watch, pict fished from the net )

GeoGio Greece · 20 January 2011, 07:41 AM

Summer "clothing", to match the blue of the sky and the sea. ( my 16700 )

Beaumont Miller II · 20 January 2011, 08:19 AM

This is one of my favorite watches that I own. It is a 16610 with the dial and bezel insert from a 16800.

VERY NICE. I prefer the black pvd treated Sub over the regular Sub. Really cool looking piece.

How much did it run to have the lugs chopped off if you don't mind me asking? You had Proxect X do it if I recall from some post a while back right?

Looks very old school vintage cool!

The hands look like explorer hands as well.

Would it have not been easier (and cheaper) to get an explorer II and put a black GMT bezel on it?

It really was not that hard or expensive to have the dial and hands swapped out. Also I already had the GMT so it was easer to source the dial and hands.

Usually not a fan of diamonds but this looks as nice as the pink flower dial with diamonds I bought my wife. If I was looking to buy her another diamond DJ that would be at the top of the list for sure.

Why would you do that to a SD? Why not just a sub if you want the cyclops?

Are you a commercial deep diver?
