cc33 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 That's something you don't see everyday or ever! That insert has an amazing natural fade giving it a kind of 3d rounded look, gorgeous. That estimate is funny since a regular one of those would fetch 2-3x estimates let alone a super rare version like this. On the other hand it does say custom made, and since the movement had to be put in upside down, the dial had to be custom made with the feet inverted. One of a kind dial means that if anything happens to the original it can't be replaced with a genuine. A bit of a an interesting one, I'd love to see what it ends up selling for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah, I'm sure that it will go for more the estimate, even if it is 'wrong' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgking Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 It's only 'real' if the serial number is at 6:00 and the model number is at 12:00. Otherwise it's a Fugazi. As any watch-smith can turn your submariner into one in a matter of minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
