ghost Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sorry to necropost. But i've had my bee in a bonnet about blue subs lately. I really would like a go at that ASian Blue sub with Nipples! I've 2 nipple dials (gen) and i was wondering if anyone could suggest how i could turn them into the above!

ghost Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've 3! One NOS that i'm preserving for a 16803/8 That hopefully will find its way to me some day. Another that has a slight blemish but is otherwise gorgeous. And a last one that has been refinished prior to my ownership but still very pretty - unfortunately it was refinished to "1000 ft" instead. I'm considering using one of the latter 2. Does anyone whom i can go to, to get it modified to look like the above?Sorry sneed, just realise i didn't quite answer your question. I'll pm u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone whom i can go to, to get it modified to look like the above? Post up some pics--it should be simple enough to build one using a 1680 case... the dial is the only hard part to get. Swiss ETA 2846, cartel or MBW 1680 case, blue bezel insert for a tudor sub and you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 But don't i need to rhodium plate the markers and coronet? And how bout turning the words into silver? The guy who found the dial - his had white gold/ss markers with words in gold? But the AQ one was white gold/ss all round... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
