I had him put on 16610LV hands on my 14060M

Nice! Did you do the dial as well or just the hands?

That will look great.

Did you send the hands to him or did he source them?

Just hands.

14060 is its own animal on dial size.

He’s a Rolex parts account holder.

Ahh, ok. Same goes for the bezel insert, although 5512/5513 inserts are the same OD. It's an odd duck but a great one.

I can't remember if a 5513 or different model acrylic crystal will fit. Might not be too late to ask.

Finslayer83 · 31 August 2018, 12:06 PM

Not my watch but the only pics I know of where this has been done before. Without seeing these I'd of never done it.

Inspiration for mod, should of come this way IMO

Any DLC coated submariners out there.

Wanted to go for a different look and feel. Too bad Rolex never offered an on-strap version for the larger DD and DJ.

So now the watch has the following:

116610 base
116622 blue second hand
116600 bezel insert
Open 6/9 datewheel from early in the 3135 age (likely 1989/1990)
I also have it on a Horus Miami Blue strap to highlight the second hand

The 116600 insert looks great on a Sub! Love the date wheel as well. Nice work!

Thought this thread might be the place for the question. Does anyone know if a 114270 dial would fit into a 116000 (OP 36)? I've seen the mod where people have put the Explorer hands onto a blue dial 116000 (which looks great), but am wondering if it would be possible to put the 114270 dial and hands in there. Then you'd basically have a 36mm Explorer in a 6-digit case and bracelet.

Call L.A. watch works; they would know.

My BLNR with a 97200 bracelet. The PCL's never grew on me, and I love the Glidelock so much.

Has anyone ever taken a 16610 and put a black dial from a gold Submariner along with the gold handset?

Basically this in a steel case.

Would be even better with no date but I don’t know where you’d source a gilt no-date dial for a contemporary sub.

I love the creativity on these modifications.
My question is: where do you source these parts? And how do you know if they will even fit your watch? I mean for example how do you get a just a red second hand without buying the other two hands as well? Who is selling their second hand? And do you then sell your old second hand?
