preacher62 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Anyone of you experts out there... Was there ever a solid SS 16610 that had a gilted dial and hands? Thanks to all. MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 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. MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd agree; nice vintage/retro touch to a modern classic. I think it would be very neat to see one done up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itreeman Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 How about using a black nato strap instead of the TT bracelet...might make the wifey happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 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.
