Rolex SUB

[Guest vantica]

What is this?

All in all, a not very convincing contraption, but 1 that is not too dissimilar to what my 6536 may end up looking like if I fail to come up with the last remaining part on my conversion checklist.

1st, your purposely smallish, de-focused pics make it difficult to make out details. However, I have reprized them into more useful form

Based on the updated pics, you have an aftermarket and/or relumed mid-50s 'Sub' dial stuck onto a gen 1030 movement planted into a non-date version of 1 of these OPs

Soo practically it's a mixture of parts to produce something weird? and for the note it is not mine.

[freddy333]

Yes, that weird something is called a frankenwatch, which are very popular around here. However, the goal of a franken is to end up with a watch that looks indistinguishable from its genuine counterpart. In this case, your watch (the watch you posted here) has the wrong dial/handset for its case. But you have the makings for a very nice Oyster Perpetual, if you can find a dial & proper handset.

I agree with Freddy 100%

One option might be to come up with an early Explorer dial and make it an Explorer- is it the 1016? Maybe NDTrading has something like that.

Of course, it is an interesting franken on it's own.

The Explorer I that I was thinking of is the 6610.

But NDT doesn't have the dial- just a watch w/ the refinished dial.

I did notice your sub dial has no crown above the Rolex- guess it got painted out in the redial process

I agree...an Explorer dial in the case would make a nice looking watch! I am sure it would cost lots less than ND Trading's price!

This is a watch being sold on eBay for $1500.

Well, if the movement is freshly serviced (by a professional Rolex-trained watchmaker), then it might be a reasonable deal (for the movement & case).
