Justasgood Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Posted March 5, 2010 @Justasgood: A decent no-date Sub rep. Where did that dial came from? Looks suspiciously good. By-Tor, I have no idea where this rep came from. I picked it up from a member here for $60.00. Asian 21J keeping +7secs over the last 2 days. The dial print does look pretty good.
By-Tor Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 The dial print does look pretty good. Yeah that's what I was wondering. How about a good franken: Put gen dial into Noobmariner case, drill the lugs, polish the rehaut, change crown, install a non-SEL bracelet and remove the cylops (or swap the crystal): Very good modern no-date Submariner. At least it's possible. I'm actually surprised that no one has ever attempted to build one. The reason why Noobmariner case would be ideal is that gen no-date version has shallower rehaut than 16610.

I wanted to build one, but dial, crystal, and bezel are smaller in diameter then the 16610. Crystal is 28.6mm (if I remember correctly). Dial is under 27mm. I'll have to measure, I have one in the drawer. It might look odd in the sub case.
