16610 SS w/gilted dial and hands

[preacher62]

Anyone of you experts out there...

Was there ever a solid SS 16610 that had a gilted dial and hands?

Thanks to all.

I seem to recall a 16800 with gold hands, but the dial was standard black w/ white markers w/ wg surrounds, IIRC.

But nothing in a 16610.

Thanks!

I moved the innards of my Noobmariner to an MBK case and am now building an LV in the Noob case. I am using the 2836-2 out of black and gold TT. This leaves me with the gilted dial and hands from the TT as leftovers. Just wondering what to do with them. Something will come along. Might buy another movement and put the TT back together. Don't like to wear it though...wife says it's tacky.

No SS cased/gilt dial/hands combo for the 16610; TT 16613, yes, but that's about as close as it gets for genuine configurations.

But IMO it is a great looking combo with gilted dial and hands in a SS submariner. I've seen some genuine 16613 (TTs) converted to SS with gilt dial and they looked very nice.

I'd agree; nice vintage/retro touch to a modern classic. I think it would be very neat to see one done up.

How about using a black nato strap instead of the TT bracelet...might make the wifey happier

I have thought about putting a black snake or croc strap on it. Would look great.

When I ordered my SS Noobmariner I first received the TT my mistake. Dealer told me to just keep it, seeing as how it had been so long already (I thought that was very generous), and shipped the Noob. I don't have anything in it, but would not have ordered it. I would convert it to blue insert and dial. That's my fav. of the TTs. All I would need is the blue insert and dial (or maybe Serti). Bet BK has that. I'll email him.
