There is a second hand market.

Although I didn’t....that joke was so good I feel like I set you up for it. Well done Sir.

Wow man: ... that dial is epic! Jade or malachite?

I’m assembling parts for a two tone six digit serial submariner. Thoughts on best option for alternate OEM hands? I have an oem rose gold crown already.

Very eye catching Malachite dial! You don't see one of those very often. Please tell us about the crystal. Very interesting looking. It looks like it protrudes out pretty high and also has a cyclops "delete"?

Hello there!

Here are a GMT 16700 with super jubilee and a Tudor 79270 with a Rolex clasp (taken from my GMT Oyster bracelet).

Love the 5 digit Pepsi on SJ.

Wow, I'm happy to have found this thread...Glad to know i'm not the only crazy one.

Here is a little addition from myself. 5 digit 16613 with an aftermarket modified ceramic insert.

What is the difference between modified and a frankenwatch?

Frankenwatch starts out as parts and is assembled into a complete watch.

Take a movement from here, hands from there, case from there.....

A modified watch is a whole watch that you swapped a part on.

In my opinion it is where it started... and the ability to be returned to original.

Ex. You buy a bunch of parts and cobble together a full watch, but you couldn't ever send it to Rolex. vs. You swap the dial on your watch and can swap it back to send for service.

At least that's my opinion.

From what source? I have my suspicions.

Lgear080 · 2 March 2019, 12:08 PM

Not mine, but thought this would get you guys thinking. All parts are oem. Total tt rg conversion. Boom.

Very nice!

May I ask, if that is an OEM insert and what modifications you had to do?

Wow, that is something I never would have thought of, but totally amazes me.

RG pushers, crown, dial,hands, bezel insert and a Jubilee is icing on the cake. Genius!!!
