Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sounds nice i always liked the NON date submariner more then the date one Im looking forward to see this non date submariner. And yes, i think it will fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 14060 dial is too small to fit a 16610 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 it will fit a 5513 case, but not a 16610. i always wondered if TC could just make a run of 16610 dials with no date window and a lume marker at 3 oclock. then off to jmb for some lug holes and thats as close as youre going to get (although it will be a slightly larger sub than an original no date) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
