Not Quite Vintage, and Not Quite Modern.......
Most members know that I like a modified Rolex watch ESPECIALLY if it is reversible back to factory specs with little trouble. Here is one that I have been wearing of late. It is a 16610 with a 16613 bezel insert and a 16800 dial. Of course I have the 93150, bezel insert, and original dial. I really like the way this one wears right now. If it only had a plastic crystal..........

The watch looks great…
I am a huge fan of the so-called "Transitional" models (16800, 16660)…And even if this is a bit "different" I still love the look… Question: Why did you put the 16800 dial on the 16610…Why not just keep it with the 16800 case???  Did you just happen to have the dial hanging around??? |

Jason I agree the watch is very cool. If you get tired of the nylon NATO, consider trying a light brown leather NATO.

When I bought it, he included the original 16610 dial (tritium) just in case I ever want to go back to original factory spec. I probably never will. He told me he sourced the 16800 dial from a reputable seller on VRF.

Looks great, Jason! But, my favorite Jason71 mod is your blacked out, red handed SD.

Looks sharp.
Kinda reminds me of the blue insert 1680's that were done some years back.

Great watch. I too love the look though mine is a 16800. I put the same insert in mine and added a 93250. These are great combos.

Well I won't say sorry. :)
The plastic crystal route looks good too but the sapphire ones look better IMO.

Jason and John,
Those are really great looking watches. The blue/black combo is killer. One of my all time favorite mods.
