Hawaii Pawnshop Submariner Find-Treasure or Mistake? You Tell Me....
So I was over in Hawaii 2 weeks ago and walked into a pawnshop.....and this was staring at me...."Y" serial number....2 1/2 CT bezel and green dial; had to own it-never seen one like it-what do you guys think? Would you wear it?

And the more I look at it, the more I doubt the authenticity of the case. It would take more detailed photos to be certain. Obviously the dial and bezel are not authentic.

Case/dial/movement all check out 100%.....dial refinished and came with original bezel and insert in the box with anchor, booklets, etc.

If that's the case, it must be the lighting/angle. Look at where the winding crown meets the case in the photo ... the case appears to run downhill from left to right.
Anyway, enjoy it, and wear it in good health. Mike

Dial is no good. Case is over polished. Hopefully you got a good price for it!
What are the particulars...case model number, serial #, price, etc... |

I think it's a bit tacky..... putting a diamond bezel on a watch whose original bezel served an actual purpose....... if it was a DJ then wearing it would be a possibility.

Mistake unless you got it for a steal (and if everything other than dial and bezel check out)

Wouldn't recomend wearing it while swimming or diving in the ocean. It may attract fast moving fish with large teeth.

As a jewelery watch, putting diamonds on a SS case / bracelet is a no no! If it were solid gold, it'd be no worse looking that some of Rolex's factory bejeweled Daytona's and Day Dates ...

*dramatic gasp* the ultimate WIS disapproval... not my cup of tea  (there was a whole thread about this not long ago) As for the watch... well, if it basically checks out, and at a very good price, then maybe as a fixer-upper project. Good luck to the OP
