What about a Rolex 16800 - Gotta love that cream!
Parts are easy to make or already exist. Only real new part would be a good case. So low cost and easy set up.
I won't be spending $800 plus on a gen dial. So maybe look for the transitional dial.
But printing one sounds interesting? Where and how could this be done? Contact the dealers?
BtW, thank you all for the info. I've learned many things.....
Ok, thnx. Hmm, I think I can't do all those mods myself. I'm still a relative noob on this customizing. And to take it as a 1st project wouldn't be the smartest I suppose.
I have a old case which I maybe can use. I posted it yesterday, thought I was a vintage style case, but turned out to be modern. But maybe of any use?

Thanks for all the info.............
Best case would be a TW. This accepts gen parts right?
Do the new vintage models sold by the dealers also accept gen parts?
Maybe use such a case and work from there if a tw case is impossible to find?
And where can one buy gen dials? Looked on Ebay but couldn't find anything.
I got into Rolex recently and I'm learning more each day. I never got the idea why the submariner was so popular, but now I understand. Simple yet elegant timeless design.
What that in mind, I'm thinking of getting myself the noobmariner to start the Rolex madness.
But the model that really did it for me was the Submariner 16800 with cream dial etc.
I don't have much info and knowledge about Rolex, so I would like to know what it takes to get/build such a piece.
Is the noobmariner a good base to start with etc?
Ok, thnx. Case is modern, measered 40mm, no serials. Will thrash it.
So my short excitement to build something like this pic has ended
Any ideas how to get this? Not want to spend much $.
Been a long time Panerai fool, but recently got into Rolex. Some changes aren't so bad...
I've been on the hunt for a good submariner and I realized that I've had a Rolex rep before. A rep I got from a friend that he picked up on a trip to Turkey some 8/9 years back for like $35.
Everything on that watch is garbage, BUT I looked closely at the case and the case looks like those vintage MBW etc cases.
I am just a noob on Rolex, so I've taken some pics to share with you all. Could someone tell me if it's something or that it's just a piece of junk metal.
