I ordered a replica SHARK (Hybrid of the Ceramic Submariner 116610 with the blue bezel from the 116619) from BK, apparently he had a slip up and send me his personal GEN. ;-)

Wow guys, wow. I was completely and totally impressed with BK's DSSD, but this tops even that, it's just perfect. The SEL fitment is flawless, the band is blemish free, engraving is perfect and crisp, clasp is nice and firm, pearl is the best I have seen on one of these. If I didn't know better, this would be a gen.

On to the pics, snapped them quickly before i head our for a memorial day party, excuse the picture quality -- i had a $50 Opteka fisheye lens on my camera that I didn't have time to swaåp out.

I'll let the pics do the talking though...

Saw this over on RG and just about drooled all down myself. Stunning mate, did you have anything else done on it? Pearl looks really good.

Not unless you purchase a separate blue ceramic bezel, it's not an option from Rolex.

thanks for the compliments, believe it or not... no extra mods. Lume is really good and the pearl is super nice for an "unmodded" pearl! 110% pleased!

I'm really jealous. I prefer that combo to the GV, I saw a gen version second-hand (I guess the owner bought a bezel replacement) for sale at a dealer and was tempted, but that looks just as good!

Indeed, that´s something special. I really liked it!
...The constrast of the blue and black makes it look fantastic. It´s the first modification/fantasy that made want it on my wrist.

Congrats and wear it good health!

Cheers,
Spirit.

it looks great! im a big fan of the color blue, but thought the ceramic one had too much blue (face and bezel).........this one is right on the money

Not sure how I feel about it.. I think I'd prefer one like the smurf but with a darker blue. The black and blue would be nice for a 3rd or 4th Sub for variation, but I wouldn't want it as my only one.

Looks great, was trying to find one on the TD's sites. So BK got this for you? how much you pay if I may ask?
