I truly love this. If ever you wish to sell, please please call!

That's how Rolex should have done the SubC in the first place!!!
Another great job by ABC Watchwerks!

The only mod to my 16610LV so far is a modern Sub bracelet with solid links and glidelock clasp. Makes the watch feel amazing. Next up will be an AR crystal as I have a hard time making out the date in any bright light

Nice Nik!

I did the same mod on my 1993 16710 coke. Love the bracelet.

I think I've decided against the green date wheel... I think if I had a Hulk, I would want a black dial and a green date wheel. But after thinking about it on the 166010LV I decided that if I ever put a black bezel in, a green date wheel may look a bit So, for now, I'm holding off. The AR crystal is a definite go though

A good AR job on any crystal or cyclops makes a huge difference. You have to post before and after pics!

you got me curious so i sat a black insert on top of my green one to see how the datewheel would look. for me it looks cool.

The superjubilee additions I've seen so far are growing on me. Something about them definitely looks very right.
