Sub'erman · 29 April 2010, 11:17 AM

Mr JJ · 29 April 2010, 11:25 AM

if someone made a ceramic one that would fit, they could make some money.

OOOHHH.........I'm going to the local hobby shop for some ceramic powder, and a wax mold kit! I could make a patent and be rich!

First bezel insert I make will be a ceramic Pepsi!!!!

Or I could drill out my bezel to accept the new Rolex ceramic!

What is the size difference between the Ceramic and the Aluminium Bezel,
Next one, will the new bracelet with the glidelock clasp fit on a V serial Sub?

Its only the insert thats ceramic and it runs on a ball bearing mechanism thats totally different to the 16610 sub.Now this ceramic insert will be very expensive to replace,and regarding functionally of the bezel insert they both do exactly the same basic time lapse and thats it.Now if you could just source the glidlock clasp it would fit the older bracelet but expect it would be very expensive.Basically not a lot wrong with the old clasp its been well tested on millions of watches for the last 4 decades.

So Mr. JJ, is there a new watch in your horizon? Are you getting on a waiting list???

Mr JJ · 29 April 2010, 11:15 PM

Maybe Lion, It's tempting, should have held out for the 2010 model but i got such a good deal on my V Sub!
