dude that is awesome!

WJGESQ · 27 January 2010, 10:25 AM

That red second hand really spices up the face of that watch, and I think the subs need a bit of dressing up. Good work.

theken · 27 January 2010, 10:33 AM

Very well done

Love the YM red second hand...I want one in my 16600

ArcticMoose · 9 May 2010, 08:12 AM

Hadn't seen this before, absolutely love it!

nauticajoe · 9 May 2010, 09:29 AM

Nice job on your watch Jason!

Rolesor · 9 May 2010, 10:35 AM

That looks totally Bad @$$ !! I love it - well done!

nyyankees · 9 May 2010, 10:52 AM

I think it's cool looking!

mpkRolex · 9 May 2010, 12:22 PM

I liked what you did with the LV and YM hands

but did not like what you did with the case

That is just my humble opinion

johnny80s · 9 May 2010, 12:22 PM

I think it rocks... Maybe one rolex will be offering something like this... Harley has the cvo... Ford has the svt... Etc

All 3 Hands are YM hands, and everyone is entitled to their opinion

Autobot · 9 May 2010, 06:41 PM

Wow, that really does set it off.

nickriebe · 9 May 2010, 06:47 PM

No matter what anyone says... that's awesome! I am saving the pics for future endeavors if you dont mind. Love the NATO strap as well. Red stripes really accent your second hand. Again, awesome!

superb · 9 May 2010, 09:06 PM

Wow! Amazing! Something different!

nyrunner · 10 May 2010, 12:32 AM

this looks great

RSubSS · 10 May 2010, 12:52 AM

I think it looks great, you took a watch for diving and made it better for your needs. You will not see anyone else with something like that on their wrist...

Is it also your daily wear watch?

paulshih · 1 July 2010, 11:08 PM

that watch looks siiick! mods would definitely be something i'd consider for my 2nd rolex... dang it, i haven't even gotten my first one yet...

I normally hate when people quote posts with lots of pics as I think it just messes up the thread but in this case its worth it!

Totally love the look of it in this guise!!! Congrats!!

joeychitwood · 2 July 2010, 12:39 AM

I think your Sea Dweller looks great. One can make a serious argument that a matte black finish is actually preferable on a dive watch to decrease the flash of polished stainless steel and the possibility of provoking a Barracuda or similar fish. It looks like a great dive watch.

chris russell · 2 July 2010, 12:46 AM

Interesting look.

gone-rolex-mad · 2 July 2010, 01:23 AM

Not a fan of mod watches, but I have to say on this occasion you have done a great job! Very nicely done, I like it a lot.

mhmfao · 2 July 2010, 01:40 AM

Jason,
I think you did an amazing job on your 16600--one of kind.
I would kill me if you did it to a 1665 though.
The closest I've come to modifying my 16600 is to wear it on this mesh bracelet.
The fact that it's an OMEGA bracelet still makes me feel like a heretic.
By the way, how easily does PVD/DLC scratch off?
By the way number two, SubKing showed another interesting mod on the following thread.

Rolexsd4000 · 2 July 2010, 01:45 AM

Looks great! Will the pvd coating ever come off? Love the seconds hand touch.

You have me thinking...

ArcticMoose · 2 July 2010, 12:42 PM

I keep coming back to look at these photos, everything about it is absolutely perfect!

hennabav · 2 July 2010, 01:05 PM

Looks interesting.

At shallow depths, it is quite visible for timing safety-stops. At deeper depths, the second-hand disappears (red colors fade the deeper one goes underwater) which is advantageous since a diver does not want to be distracted, and the minute hand is the only hand that really matters at depth.

TopNotchChach · 3 July 2010, 07:16 AM

Very nice. The red hand gives it a nice pop.

The Original Pics of the Nato Band made me think of a Gucci Edition Rolex. haha.

Definitely like the swapped band.

mhmfao · 3 July 2010, 07:26 AM

After seeing the pictures of the PVDed original bracelet, I was surprised to find

that I love your watch on ZULUs

, but hate your watch on the PVDed original bracelet

. Somehow its looks cheap and makes me worry that the bracelet will look terrible after the PVD coating starts to be worn/scratched off in places.

Let's put the ZULU back on.

V/R,
Mike
