What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional
photographer, buy a flute and you own a flute.

Switch to a black bezel and you got a stunner.

5 digit sub, maxi hour plot dial, black bezel... Those small hour plots kept me away from this reference.

Hell.. update the clasp and it's perfection

Yes I agree it is a classic. But the younger 6-digit ceramic brother who was born 1mm bigger is no slouch.

I wonder how many would question the authenticity of that watch if a newbie were to post it, asking to verify that it’s real.

This one is THE reason I want a 5 digit Sub.

Love all of mine but If I could only keep two Rolex it would be both 5 dgt 14060m and 16710 no doubt.

Agree, I think that’s why I love the 58. Aluminum bezel, chamfers, and thin lugs!
