i think its great ,, maybe a wee bit more off the width of the crown guards , other than that ,,, very nice custom watch.

if its not a rude question what did they charge for the work.

This is 1000 times better than the new sub. I want to applaud the OP for taking the chance and nailing it.

Thank you and thanks to ABC for taking on my request.

DCgator · 4 November 2013, 03:24 PM

I like that it is subtly different. Congrats to you!

Here are some wrist shots.

Looks pretty good!

Had this watch been available at the time it would have been my perfect watch - possibly still is....

You can always have ABC make you one.

Looks great, their finish work is amazing! Now if they could figure out a way to sink the pearl further in to the bezel, it would be perfect!

joejoe1225 · 11 November 2013, 12:33 PM

Awesome!!!

Quick update. I have to say the more I wear this watch the more I like it.

That's so badass - as someone else mentioned earlier !

So cool to see immaculate executions like this from ABC, they do it up

Glad to see someone here with the brass cajones to do this. Did ya poke them lug holes thru yet, it's alls that's left to make this perfect !

Amazing

Love it! Lack of cyclops is beautiful. Sold my SD and went to a 114060 and miss the date sometimes. I love the clean lines of no date, but this is sweet!

accce · 19 January 2014, 12:04 PM

ABC is the best I have used.

Now I'd like to see that.

Rags · 23 January 2014, 07:01 AM

Looks great but IMO a cyclops is needed on a sub.

golfinguru11 · 24 January 2014, 03:20 PM

The thinned lugs/case make it look much sleeker. Not sure about the other mods, but if you like it thats all that matters.

007Sub · 24 January 2014, 03:49 PM

Yesssss! Chamfers!! This is what new rolexes are missing! And in my opinion a big draw back. Love that they made them so well and with plenty lug to spare. Looks great!

RiskPro · 31 January 2014, 12:45 PM

Fantastic! It is yours and no other like it. I truly love it.

accce · 30 March 2014, 09:31 AM

Kind of looks like the new SD.

They thinned out the lugs and case a bit added a classic finish w/chamfers and cut the crown guards to pyramid style. I also added a new Daytona Bracelet to the watch. What do you think?

I noticed that the upper crown guard (12 side) is not cut in the same direction/angel as the crown guard (6 side).

Yikes. You made some interesting changes.

As long ad you're happy, I'm happy for you.

ssultan · 30 September 2014, 01:06 PM

Not a fan of thinning lugs. Love my subc as-is, perfect watch for me...but I guess if it makes the OP happy then that's that!!!
