Wow!

This is absolutely stunning!

What a fun thread! I brought up the idea of modifying a sub over in the vintage forum and they crucified me.

How did you get that jubilee to fit the Hulk?

I still have the original crystal.

I guess this mod is a little lame compared to many others here.

I’d consider this mod first. The cyclops is annoying to view the date with unless practically straight on. Not to mention I think I’ll catch it on something easier.

Is it possible to put a Oysterflex bracelet on a 2019 GMT II blro?

Also how hard is it buy the bracelet separately?

Thanks.

Here is another on modified authentic 1995 16710 coke insert

Juggernaut · 26 August 2019, 09:46 AM

My Sub 16610 has 3 modifications that are not photographically visible:
1) I swapped the standard thick caseback for a thinner GMT caseback (yes!...they are interchangeable: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...r+gmt+caseback

2) I removed the diver’s extension and used the clasp connector link from GMT 78360 bracelet:

3) for more practical everyday ease of use, I swapped out the Sub click bezel with a upgraded version if the GMT Master II click spring so that I can have a bi-directional clicking bezel:

This looks so amazing! Looks like the custom Mad ones on IG. How did you get yours in black?

After researching the elusive white dialed GMT I found a picture of these on the interwebs. I really like the white contrast! I wouldn’t mind doing the exact same thing.

Have a 16610 lug hole / SEL incoming!

The potential for the ultimate Sub lies ahead

The best combo! This wasn’t the one that “lunaroyster” had was it? That was a nice a example, can’t wait to see it.

No I looked at that one.

Got this from a friend of TRF I was talking to about a different watch. Let's say I got a hell of a deal.

Going to remove the cyclops first as I love the SD look but don't like the HEV or thickness that comes with it.

This is really cool - but the hour hands are very hard to read.

I look forward to seeing what other mods you do to it. ;-)

I start with my cyclop remover kit.

Pull it up in my full size Bergeon case holder.

And start the work.

Damn, Rolex have quality glue so I have to warm it up a bit.

Now I hope it will come off.

Ouups, not so good.

What do you think, did I have to change crystal? Or can it

be polished?

Seeing this succession of pics felt like a kick to the nuts ... so sorry what happened to your DJ!

That Jocke destroying a DJ is an old, old post. I recall the watch was a fake. :)

I don't like the Explorer models at all, but I like that dial in a different case.

16610LV hands are going on it as we speak.

Interestingly those should be 16570s which come with painted black surround hands. Don’t know why he changed them to gold surround hands.

I blame it on autoconnect.
