These are eye catching pieces but do come with an eye watering price.

I did not realize that it was your watch and not another picture from internet:) It's your watch and you can do whatever you want with it. Personally, not my cup of tee at all.

So, congrats on a mod, enjoy it!:)

P.S. wonder what would RSC would do with it, should you bring it for service? Restore to original state, haha?:))

Whatever floats your boat is cool with me, as long as you love it. It's definitely a conversation starter and by far a more "interesting" sub to talk about.

As long as there are artistic watchmakers willing to stretch the bounds of movement mods, casework and bracelets, then this obsession of ours shall not perish from the face of this good Earth.

Glad you like it OP

I’ve never been a fan of skeletons, too difficult to see the time at a glance YMMV

I like the idea, but would prefer it in a smaller 5 digit case watch.

It's an interesting watch for certain. Too busy for my tastes. Skeletonized watches are attractive and I've owned one; not a Rolex but that ended my desire. I'm not a pureest and I'm happy the OP likes it. Congratulatoins!

OP's Sub looks great! Nice job with a modern spin on a classic. Definitely an eye catching piece, even if you're not a watch person.

I'm really lovin' MrN's Cosmograph! That is beautiful!!
