I think there are repd, don't know about the quality. but if not can get close by getting a sub rep, 16610 (or even a 116610 if you want), shave the cg and get a pearl mod with black instead of lume. If you build it yourself it won't have the red text so at that point your building a fantasy so go for what ever you can get your hands on to start the project.

If I were doing it I'd get a 116610, that way the dial will have the maxi markers which I prefer. Shave the cg, do a pearl mod then send it off to get pvd coated and your pretty close.

Well here is some food for thought....

If the shaved CGs are the deal breaker then don't buy either of the last two. If you like the shaved CG look then look around for a good quality sub that will take well to heavy mods. Look at either the BP or Noob V2/3 116610 as many guys say they good to mod. BP is probably best bet as most guys say it's the bracelet on the BP not the watch head that is crap. That said toro has the old Noob c sub in his special section for a decent price if you go that route.

If you buy a standard sub rep and build it from scratch, PVD coating is likely to cost you > $150 if not more. You'd have to get the watch completely disassembled, send to get CGs shaved (if you get one with them), send to the coaters, get it reassembled. Modder is likely to charge you maybe $50 to remove the CGs. This also lends itself to any extra issues that might pop up as the modder removes and reinstalls the crown tube etc....

I'd suggest you start with contacting a modder that can do this and let him know what your looking for and see what they suggest you start with and how much they'd charge. This amount of work is likely to cost a few bucks above the cost of the watch.

Maybe at some point as I am building a real vintage big crown next. But long and expensive story on this piece. Lots of time $ and effort to get it to this.

Its a heritage build right ??

Heritage.....rep

yes that is what it is after but with lug holes. Lume a little creamier on this than the gen which I prefer. The gen looked too tan/yellow for my taste and didn't have lug holes. So total fantasy piece but pretty awesome looking in person and bullet proof on that rubber b. Play sports wearing it all the time.
