I just love the warm look. Reminds me of the aluminum bezels but on a more modern design.
This is so awesome. |

Contact LA watchworks if you want something similar done
Moved it on a while back, after that pic I had the red second hand off the YM fitted. If I was to redo one I’d have the lugs thinned a bit and I wouldn’t do the red second hand. |

Once done - was it any more prone to scratches? |

I like it! This is the first pic I’ve seen of a 114060 that makes me really want one. I think it brings the proportions back into balance, somehow.

Looks good and reminds me of the five digit aluminum bezels. Somewhat unrelated, but I’m curious to know whether RSC would service this watch as I’ve heard that they may refuse to work on watches that have been “tampered with”.

Now that this creates the feel of the older aluminum bezel and takes the "shine" off it - makes the 114060 perfect for my desires. Some say yes, some say no as the case isn't cracked or anything internal changed. If it's a deal breaker not a big deal as I'd just send it to LAWW or Nesbits for service when needed. |

Also to add to my above comment with the same case finish inc the thinned lugs i’d fit the YM ceramic bezel insert opposed to refinishing the Sub one as the polish/matte bezel contrast would tie into the dial better IMO. |

It’s understanding that they fill up the hash marks and numerals with something and do a light media blast on the black area. It keeps the platinum.
It’s still got a nice satin look (think 14060) as they only take the gloss off. |

Outstanding! The insert balances well with the brushed bracelet.
If only they had a way to make a matte dial... |

I like it, in my opinion it balances the shiny dial.

Prefer stock, but that matte bezel sure looks handsome.
