Sterile 16800 with top shelf parts project


Ephry73

Recommended Posts

As I just got back from vacation and saw numerous nice watches as well as getting compliments on my 16610 hybrid(yes, even from the security guard at the AD) I still have this idea to build a top shelf parts sterile 16800. I know this may seem crazy or ridiculous to some, but for me it makes sense for a daily beater and no issues watch.

I know where to get all of the parts, except for a decent non-white gold surrounds eta dial with decent date window beveling. I could always buy a 1680 or 1665 dial and remove the writing. The dial needs to be gen dimension, as to fit in an ST3035 case and look correct.

Does anyone have any sources?

here's a Parnis unmarked dial

didn't see anything on raffflestime, but you might ask Ken

You need a 27.3mm dial set up for Rolex- his stuff is 29mm

maybe you buy a Yuki dial and paint over the Rolex markings

or just go with a sterile submariner- problem is nowdays they're all ceramics!
