Modified rolex photos please!

[bondtoys]

It's the original Submariner Triplock crown which came with the watch originally.

Glad that you like it!

[fmc000]

Is it a custom made project or is it the Philipp Stahl re-edition? Care to share some details about it?

[bondtoys]

entirely custom made.
Has nothing to do with Philipps reedition which is based on a modern 114060.

What you see here is a modified 16610LV by ABC Watchwerks.

Could be wrong, but it's probably a regular size crown. It just looks bigger without the crown gards.

Here's a subtle mod. Cyclops removed and 24 hr hand painted orange.
A little bit of the 216570 look without the Maxi-ness.

[rain_maker]

Very cool!

Thanks to all for the compliments!

It was quite a long project and ABC Watchwerks where very patient and supportive all the long way.
It took me some time to convince myself ruining a perfect Rolex in the eyes of a purist but I am very happy with the results.

I can't praise Dalton from ABC Watchwerks ehough and would not hestitate giving them my order again.
And I know that they have been working countless hours on the watch.

Here is a before and after comparison of the same watch:

Hmmm, I'm not an LV fan, and I'm the first to mod my watch as I believe in personalizing as much as the next guy but why not sell the LV and buy a Sub date and do the mod? Surely you would be ahead $$ wise?

Was it the maxi dial that you wanted?

Awesome mod none the less

Yes, that's it.

Re. using a normal Sub: It's quite the opposite!
Selling the LV flat 4 bezel insert, crystal and the LV dial and hands brought quite some money into this project.

At the end of the day, it was cheaper than using a standard 16610 and modify it.

That makes sense

Thanks!

The crystal is a genuine 29 crystal, to me there is no difference to the original crystal re. thickness.

While these look great, it should be noted that the chinese have been making rollies with these mods for years. Lol!

[bondtoys]

Here are wrist shots:




I've put the watch on a metal strap, but imo, it does not work on the wrist:


It looks fine on the studio shot:



on the strap, it's always nice:

Pt day-date with YG dial and hands, and cyclops removed.
I did this because I really like this dial but have been unable to find it in WG.

Not sure if this has already been posted in the past, but I think it's a pretty cool concept for the right kind of person! Sub Roulette

[Steve748]

Sub roulette? Awful!

Please don't quote the picture....it's bad enough seeing it once!
