Well I bought a new Sub C Date a couple of months ago and after some careful consideration and planning, I have taken it into a very trusted watchmaker in my town to do a thing or two to make it my own.

Anyone care to guess what I'm doing do my Sub?
I get it back on Tuesday!

adzman808 · 2 September 2013, 04:30 AM

remove the Cyclops

and erm... get the crown guards removed or a different colour bezel insert

aeon888 · 2 September 2013, 04:39 AM

Ummm... Put another dial hand to make it look like a GMT? or polish all the links? Maybe stamp a mickey mouse logo on the dial?

Erase the Rolex logo and replaced with your name on it?

I am a big fan of PCLs so that would be my guess on this one

RollieWithIceBezel · 2 September 2013, 04:43 AM

I'm thinking.....change the bezel, dial and hands. Swap the bracelet to a TT bracelet.

Turn it into a two tone ceramic sub?

aeon888 · 2 September 2013, 04:43 AM

Replace oyster bracelet with Jubilee bracelet?

Add another cyclops at the 9 o'clock position to make it the only Rolex watch with two cyclops?

Kyle3130 · 2 September 2013, 04:46 AM

Red date wheel and second hand like in your avatar?

Have it gold electro-plated and replace the 2.5x cyclops with a 1.25 cyclops.

Have a giant LEC engraved.

Get rid of the stupid engraved rehaut. There, I said it. Put some old school chamfers on those bloated lugs.
