My newly built tc with gen ar crystal and his new insert.

Hmmm, that gets me horny for sure

Agree with Bob. Used the same in my build of 6538 in the FS section. Used a Clark's T19 that I shaved down. Looks great.

If you have the funds available, you can always get straps direct from a Hublot boutique! Better idea though, try ebay. They have plenty of straps on there that'll fit a big bang. In fact I ordered some tyre track rubber straps and a screwdriver a little less than a week ago. They should be arriving soon!

What about this, a poor man and a rich man walk into a rolex store the year this ad came out, the poor man buys the 5512 3-6-9 for 69£.. On the other hand the rich man happily spends 454£ (5x the price) for the gold day date. Today the steel sub is worth easily 50x what the day date would fetch, who knew!

Natural fade MK1 insert:

Got to the office late today and found a package waiting for me on my desk. Wasn't too sure what to expect from the October build contest, but it was a pleasant surprise indeed; a Rolex ad from 1991 for the 16600 SeaDweller: Nice pornstache: Thank you @davids100 for hosting the contest.

Not quite a "who has the best sub"

This is about as much bezel fade I like for my builds:

My matte dial 16800 was finished recently after a long wait for everything to fall into place. I managed to source an open 6/9 DW from VRF. It fits the Y3135 perfectly. Spec is ST3135 case/caseback/full bezel assembly serviced Y3135 Gen cal 3135 DW from early trit 16610 Gen 703 crown Gen 7030 tube Gen No LEC crystal Gen matte dial Y3135 hands Gen trit insert WSO 501b end links PureTime 93150. I'll likely replace the endlinks, bracelet & caseback for gen once so have spare funds. The final piece of the puzzle will be getting the case engraved from phone with correct 5mil serial.
