Has anyone ever done this? If so can you share photos? I really want the blue dial and bezel of a two tone on a steel case and bracelet and this seems like a genius idea to me. I did a Google search and no pictures came up.

All genius ideas must start with a first. I think it would be a good option. Trouble is you have to buy an extra bracelet to make it possible.

Muzz · 2 January 2016, 10:36 PM

I had that combo in the late 90s but have no pictures unfortunately. If was a common thing to do then when the bracelet was bagged.

it looks amazing! i'd try it if i was you!

FTX I · 2 January 2016, 11:55 PM

Looks nice and less shiny.

From what I recall, forum member "Subtona" did this with his 16613 when the bracelet wore out.

AK797 · 3 January 2016, 12:37 AM

Not for me, it is only TT after all, so don't need to make it quarter tone.

BBQ BOY · 3 January 2016, 02:34 AM

I took the Hulks bracelet off and put it on my bluesy for ***** and giggles. I didn't like it in the least. To me, the watch was very uninteresting and lost its beauty.

CG123 · 3 January 2016, 02:51 AM

It looks less terrible than I thought it would.

Matt C · 3 January 2016, 03:54 AM

Actually looks good!

I'm going to have to say I like it.
Less in your face with the subtle gold highlights
I'm not a 2 tone guy but I'd wear that

dysondiver · 3 January 2016, 04:00 AM

done it in the past , also did the jubilee option too ,, as crazy as it seems to me , with tt prices less than ss , its a cheaper way to own a nice sub.

TK-710 · 3 January 2016, 04:06 AM

I like that.

bkertzer89 · 3 January 2016, 04:20 AM

This :)

Ste_J · 3 January 2016, 04:56 AM

I like all the pictures shown so far

I could see myself wearing those over a full 2 tone.

Thanks for the pictures everyone. I'm not a two time guy at all and I really like the blue face of that submariner. If I do that that route id store away the two tone bracelet, keep it mint, and wear the stainless bracelet! :)

I actually kinda like the "quarter tone" look. I didn't think I would. I've been thinking about brushing out my gmt2c bracelet. This may be the spark to light the fire on that.

kirksingleton · 3 January 2016, 08:09 AM

The root beer would look good with a ss jubilee

kilyung · 3 January 2016, 08:12 AM

Just my

but it looks wrong without the gold.

2ar2c1 · 3 January 2016, 09:49 AM

Larry (tools) has a definitive version.

My thoughts as well.

malarky_hk · 3 January 2016, 11:03 AM

Sorry but looks "off" to me. Better on the two tone bracelet.

TK-710 · 3 January 2016, 11:08 AM

I think a stainless crown would be needed to complete the look.

Davidmay · 15 January 2016, 09:47 AM

I can't understand why you would do this?

Because someone was curious on how it would look and asked me to do this. I did not like it at all and the watch is back to its natural state.

subtona · 15 January 2016, 10:04 AM

Here's mine sold a few years ago. Original bracelet disintegrated from wear.
I think it looked great on the SS bracelet. I have a couple of nicer pics but can't find them at the moment.

Bezel nicely rounded out courtesy of Rolex service. (Yes that is sarcasm)

Yeah it looks much better, when it's back to normal state.

Next put gold bracelet on stainless watch, that'd look ridiculous
