Post by tatsnguns » Mon Sep 09, 2013 6:10 pm

I have had two submariners back about 8 years ago I moved them along for omegas and guns LOL but i know there are many rolex fanatics on here so thought id post up what these gentlemen are doing .. No dates out of all divers are my favorite watches and these promise to thrill the fellow no date guys. 15,000 pounds for 60 lucky guys. You like ? you hate ?

I wonder what the Big Crown guys will do when they need an NOS crown and tube? These modded Subs just took 60 from the stash.

I am sure the Rolex guys will hate it. I like everything but the "fauxtina" lume.

Is Project X like the Watchco Omegas where a company uses genuine Rolex parts to make a Rolex that Rolex didn't make?!?

Yes, but they cost more and do different things (I think they have their own site). Cool but I'll stick with the original.

It looks like they bought brand new Sub Cs and modified them.

I think the lugs are too thin unless they shave them down :think:

The sub c lugs are very thick, so plenty of metal there to add chamfers.

The more I think about it, the more I just want a black bezel for the Tudor Black Bay. That would give me a sub with chamfers, domed crystal, and gilt dial/ hands, for not all that much money.

I'd buy that, or an all blue BB.

I'm a fan of modding your own watches. Looks great to me.
