I have my MBW Case, a gen clasp, Gen crown, Gen Tube, Gen springbars, Gen gaskets and Gen crystal.

What I need:

Gen insert, Gen Bracelet, Gen Gilt hands and patience :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Am I crazy to cannabilize such a nice......boring watch?

Feedback required and appreciated.

Regards,

Kurt.

Tear that thing apart... Feel no guilt! Im putting together a similar parts list to do the exact same thing!

I consider it improvement upon a boring design!

Tough question. I happen to like that particular model, so I would probably restore it back to its original glory. If you are unsure, think about what you would do with either watch. If you want a diving/sport watch, build the Sub. If you want an all-around watch or want one that will tend to stick out more in a crowd, stick with the Oyster Perpetual (I see far more people wearing Subs on the street than OPs). But your mileage may vary.
