Been a while since I’ve built a Rolex… And even longer since I’ve done a modern sapphire model at that About a month ago I came to the conclusion that I wanted to put together a daily beater for the Summer and decided on a classic Sub for this project. After much contemplation I chose to shift gears ever so slightly and build a Lunette Vert, mostly to add a little variation and color to my collection as my 5514 already bears the standard black/white Submariner combination. Ingredients: -TC case -Genuine 16610 ‘Maxi’ dial -Genuine 16610 ‘Maxi’ hands -Genuine 16610LV insert -Genuine Rolex caliber 3135 -Genuine 704 crown/tube -Genuine 295C (older style w/o laser etch @ 6:00) I probably wouldn’t have opted to go the route of genuine movement due to the perceived build/gen cost ratio of a modern 16610, however I’m only $2500-ish in so the build made some dollar sense to me. The largest determining factor in this project was hinged on the fact that I managed to procure my 3135 for under $900 and I already had some of the parts in my spares box (i.e. the older 295C crystal, crown/tube, etc). Sure, I could probably have just picked up a gen 16610LV for $6k-ish, but that wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun (and over 2x the cost). Some (quick) pics... Thanks for looking! //ubi
