Looks like an authentic Sub with aftermarket bezel insert and refinished dial.

The problem with custom watches like this is that it makes you wonder what other parts are aftermarket such as inside the movement, crystal, hands, etc. Also, the date looks a little wonky.
I guess if you really want a bejeweled all-stainless Submariner, custom is the only route because none exists from the factory. They did make a two-tone Sub with a diamond dial referred to as a "serti" dial. |

I'd get the real Bluesy and call it a day !!!
I've had my share of Frankenstein Rolex and would never go that route again ... if you like blue then get a 16613 TT Blue Sub... |

I would strongly advise to pass on this one and any other watch like this.
Even if it's based on a real watch, it is so heavily modified (read - cobbled together) that it isn't worth the effort. There is a reason why watches like this are called Frankenwatches...
