TeeJay Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I just found this, and thought it was rather tasty. I then thought it might make a nice project to combine with a YM bezel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 That grey dial looks interesting, always nice to see a change of pace. 3-4 years ago I built this white sub The dial was from a replicafactory rep- one of my first purchases before I found these forums. The watch has since been dismantled- the YM bezel is on a white dialed Invicta sub- a $100 beater. I've thought about getting the white sub dial relumed but haven't got around to it. When I get home Sunday evening, I'll see if I can't shoot a pic of the Invicta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I like it TJ! I equate it to the tasty Project X customs. Some variety is always good -my wife loves her Tudor I had redialed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That white Sub looks fantastic, the YM-style insert definitely makes the difference, and the 3D effect of the insert is definitely what gives the YM it's distinction from a Sub Seeing the white Sub definitely makes me think that the grey Sub with the YM insert might be worth a try I like it TJ! I equate it to the tasty Project X customs. Some variety is always good -my wife loves her Tudor I had redialed. I remember you showing the watch before, but I forget if pink was the original color of the dial... It's certainly a unique piece, and I sometimes feel with this hobby, it is the unique pieces which keep it a fun and interesting hobby Those are both pretty cool looking! They are indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pink dial adds the pop -not to mention its my wife's favorite color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works really well, and given all the text and markings would have had to be re-created, excellent re-finishing work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Here you go Teejay- a couple of Invictas with YM bezels- both were retrofitted although Invicta does have a few watches w/ the YM bezel still around These are both $100 Divers- the gold one has the new Miyota 8216- which is an update of the 8215, I guess. It's hard to find YM bezel inserts these days! I had to buy a $50 gold YM from Silix to take the insert off of it- tried to fit the coin edge bezel on also but couldn't make it work on the Invicta. The Invicta gold bezel reminds me of the noob bezel sort of- tough to get off and with the same three prong click ring on the bottom.
