TeeJay Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm thinking of taking this Silix Vintage Submariner: Swapping in the dial and hands from this AirKing: And hopefully getting something resembling the Breitling SOH: Given the measurements of the viewable dial area of the Submariner, I think it might work... Another long-term project, but I just wanted to share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think that would work and look good, and you can fit the sub parts in the airking and get some thing like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I had planned on keeping the sub as it was on the NATO strap, but I wanted a watch on a strap for the costume party, and that seemed the most logical watch to alter. The strap gives the case a real elegance, which surprisingly, the bezel actually adds to in this instance (maybe it's the lack of crown guards) so I thought that a more elegant dial might look nice As you say, I can always put the Sub dial in the Air-King case, and that'll then be wearable on the NATO I like what you've done with yours. It doesn't matter that the dial's sterilized, it looks like a really nice, functional watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
