What are your thoughts? I kind of like it. Any idea where I can acquire one of these dials?

taken from this auction

thomaspp · 25 January 2013, 05:53 AM

Not for me. Never seen something like that. good luck.

Puffy · 25 January 2013, 05:53 AM

chavtastic!!

afc1 · 25 January 2013, 05:53 AM

Looks better than I would expect, but it's not for me either. If you like it though, go for it.

Longhorn · 25 January 2013, 06:07 AM

Not sure where you get one of these dials. I wouldn't mind trying it on mine, but definitely not going to buy it off ebay.

Oh look another Longhorn! hook 'em.

To OP -- I think that is awesome, but I am also obsessed with lighter-faced dials.

I do not know where to find official parts, but there is a dealer here in ATL who has a collection. I saw a mother of pearl version with onyx and diamonds on a black sub and thought it was really unique (in a good way). I understand it is not for everyone, but it is an option...

Thats an aftermarket dial I believe.

77T · 25 January 2013, 06:40 AM

It's a different take on the green Sub motif. Will never get an RSC service and the price is high for a Franken...

The Mugars prolly had the dial made to boost profit on the item.

thewatchguy93 · 25 January 2013, 06:46 AM

That looks photoshopped in.. Not for me, but if you like it!!

mvmbles · 25 January 2013, 06:47 AM

Hmmm, I actually quite like the look, but would only consider that dial if it was original from the Rolex factory. The auction indicates that this isn't the case.

Keep your LVc dial if you intend to service your watch through RSC.

tedscott3 · 25 January 2013, 06:52 AM

I am not one for diamonds on Rolex, but I have seen this dial and I like it.

mmmk604 · 25 January 2013, 06:58 AM

Not a fan of diamonds on sport watches. I have diamond markers on my DJ though.

Stoner319 · 25 January 2013, 07:38 AM

I don't dig it but then again I don't dig Serti dials in general. But it's your money spend it how you want.

GarageBMW · 25 January 2013, 08:04 AM

not my cup of tea

Kiddodoc · 25 January 2013, 08:19 AM

Hook Em Longhorn!

I only have 2 rolex watches with Diamonds, my DD and my WG sub and I must say that I think the WG sub looks great with diamonds.

Do what you want if you like it!

AK797 · 25 January 2013, 08:36 AM

Sunburst green dial is best thing about Hulk so not for me.

patb · 25 January 2013, 08:47 AM

That's the first LV that I like. To bad the dial is not by Rolex.

kilyung · 25 January 2013, 09:00 AM

Looks aside, getting it serviced by RSC with an aftermarket dial will be a problem.

epoon2 · 25 January 2013, 09:09 AM

Again, problem with this is you cannot read the time accurately in dim condittions.

Watchdog · 25 January 2013, 10:17 AM

I love it. And I'm not even a big fan of the LV.

gwozhog · 25 January 2013, 11:28 AM

I have seen that dial on older 16610 subs before. I would start with flee bay or google sub serti dials. A few companies make those. Goodluck.

Jsan20 · 25 January 2013, 12:57 PM

Not my cup of tea. I like it all OG.

Trouble15 · 25 January 2013, 12:58 PM

Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would when I seen the thread title. However, I think the green dial on the 116610LV is one of the great things about the reference.

mr.president1 · 25 January 2013, 01:02 PM

I actually kind of like it. Though in a room filled with Rolex owners I'd be reluctant to wear it.

Hairdude1 · 25 January 2013, 01:15 PM

Not a fan

Chaching · 25 January 2013, 02:50 PM

Nope...not a fan and for 10K! Huh? Franken..never get through RSC!

DynamiteBids · 25 January 2013, 03:03 PM

It's decent looking, I've seen these dials for sale on eBay, but it instantly devalues your sub. Besides, the best serti dial ever made was the slate serti. One of my Holy Grails I hope to run into someday.
