But mine is a little bit different:

I sourced a red Yachtmaster second hand from a trusted seller and a Preik case back.

I think the watch looks great from both sides. I love the red seconds hand, and I love to take the watch off occasionally to look at that workhorse movement.

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Looks great!

kilyung · 12 October 2014, 04:36 AM

Looks nice however I'd suggest asking a Mod to remove the name of the watchmaker/store to avoid getting anyone in trouble with Rolex. We wouldn't want this one in particular to have any issues.

I have a similar back on my Pepsi but it has the Omega style case tool.

Hmm, I can't seem to edit my post. Can a mod remove the info requested above. If anyone want to know who did the work, they can message me.

Thanks.

Very nice work - I'd go for a red datewheel as well

It needs it, otherwise too stark.

Interesting

cht · 12 October 2014, 12:29 PM

glad you feel better that you "customized" it, since it's of course your watch, but, since you posted it on a public forum... personally, I think it makes it look fake/cheap.

997.2 · 12 October 2014, 01:02 PM

is the clear case back any thicker than the steel? opinions on it? who did it for you? thinking of doing the same

jjnd08 · 12 October 2014, 01:17 PM

Very nice!

But I don't have a sub, and neither does my brother.

Interesting mod, thanks for posting.

aleeboy · 12 October 2014, 01:20 PM

Not a fan of the red contrast. I really like the Submariner the way it was made

Rogdogg · 12 October 2014, 01:27 PM

I don't have a sub and neither does my brother :( I need to change that and quick

Hairdude1 · 12 October 2014, 03:16 PM

I like it

foodle · 12 October 2014, 03:37 PM

Glad you like it, but not my cup of tea.

The_Walrus · 12 October 2014, 04:31 PM

I try to be a little different also so I wear a SD

I want to be able to say this!

But in the meantime......

I guess I am everybody, but my brother no longer has a sub.
