So are you selling them? If so the cost please.

i think the yachtmaster with the red date is the coolest subtle mod. Sandro, WTF happened to those to rolexes you depicted?

Right now I am just goofing around trying to make a few but hopefully I will have a few to offer up to my close friends here.

Cheapest they would be is about $600 or so which includes the cost of a new bezel. Pretty labor intensive right now though.

I will have a few more pics next week. Everything is in pieces again. Going to see what it looks like on a 116520 with a Panda dial. That could look pretty slick.

Gone but not forgotten.... GMT II with white dial from Explorer II

That would be my Grail mod

Too bad the dial cost the same as a pre-loved Submariner

I wouldn't mind it at all, No problem swapping the dials back if it would feel weird

What do you guys think...

Will the red datewheel look good in my SDDS?

JIFF1975 · 12 January 2011, 10:12 PM

Some of you guys asked me (via PM) if the datewheel was on OEM part. Yes it is...

Here is a picture from the back of the part. In the chip Rolex uses you can even see the crown.

Here is another picture from the blue insert, same packing

All OEM parts...

You can better go to an non AD Rolex specialist...

dannyboy123 · 13 January 2011, 07:07 AM

I have a 12 yr old sub. Is it possible for me to get/fit a green bezel insert. My local AD said it couldn't be done. By the way I'm not talking about the newer ceremaic insert, but the older/first gen insert.
