Just another upgrade>>>>>

[Jocke]

I start with a Submariner date, N serial made in 1991. Put a
maxi dial and the fat minute hand.

Now I've just put a GMTIIc crystal with anti reflective cyclop.

Wow, what a great upgrade. Now it's really easy to see the date.

Jocke - what a great idea!! I just picked up this Y serial Sub and may try the same thing. I recently spent a couple of weeks with the new WG blue ceramic bezel Submariner, and really liked the new cyclops.

So the GMT II crystal readily fits on the 16610 without adjustment/modification?

Here's my new Sub:



And here's the WG Sub:

Hi John.

Yes it fits perfect without adjustments.

Did you know if the WG Sub have a antireflective cyclop?

Jocke

I believe so, yes.

Do you have some more shots of your Sub in other positions?

not sure if Jocke's photo was in a lucky position or photoshopped but from photos the
WG SUB still has a lot of glare compare to Jockes' photo.

This is one beautiful "franken" upgrade and a great pic to boot. Bravo!!! It may be a frankenwatch, but it's just plain perfect.

Sensible upgrade, Jocke! Makes the Sub Date complete!

I agree! I wonder how much it would be to get an LV dial and hands for my 16610? Milos - I'd say if you're looking to duplicate this look, it would be cheaper to get a 16610 and source the dial and hands of an LV than it would be to start with an LV.

Used LV - 4500 - 5000.00
16610 bezel insert - 100.00

Used 16610 - 3800 - 40000
LV dial and hands - 300-400??

Thanks guys.

Milos I believe it's so, I use to be in a lucky position when I shot watches with my bad technique. :D:D:D:D:D

John a LV will have lugholes straight against the case, that is not a option on a tool watch. :D:D:D:D:D:D
