Can watchmodders do this?

[John71]

Ok, can I buy the dial from the SA3135 version from Angus? And will it fit my super clone?

 

[Fidhle007]

No, the dial feet are in a different location.

Ok guess I'm going to let the hour markers for what they are but one thing: in BK's sales thread of his Noob Sub C he mentions a different bezel insert with bolder numbers... is this a different one as on my watch?

this is my bezel: http://puretime.co/product/submariner-116610-ln-black-ceramic-316f-best-edition-a2836-superclone/

his bezel: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/product-offering-noobfactory-55147?t=55147


Or is it the same bezel? And if different which one is better?

I am not that anal its a rep, has some flaws.
Why not enjoy it a while before modding?
Think its pretty nice for me out of the box, the puretime sub

 

[John71]

Yeah, but I just like the 116610 so much more than the 16610.. Even though the 16610 rep is more accurate, I read a lot that the ceramic one feels more 'substantial' and I owned a 16610 and the clasp just feels cheap and thin. I'm was abut to get it watertested and superlumed so why not add some corrections? I'm going for:

- crystal with 2x AR'ed cyclops
- correct TC datewheel overlay
- correct thin hour hand
- pearl mod
- superlume
- waterproof test

I think that's enough

Indeed it's a nice watch out of the box, is it the Superclone version? What movement?

I think they are resonable mods, someone on here was selling correct sub C hands. They are substantially bigger than regular 16610 hands so is the crown.

Yes, I ordered the hands already, the crystal too... I just need a good dial (big hour markers) and the DWO I will get from TC

Lume and mods I'm going for LeWiz

I traded this one with a member, according to him it is the version with swiss eta 2836 -2 on puretime website new 358 usd.

 

[John71]

Does anyone know where I can get the big hour markers (or dial that has them)

 

[Dan_189]

Your best option is to get a complete watch and swap the dials. Your second option is to get a nice rep dial like a TC or a Sean and change over the markers. Your third option is get a Gen ceramic sub dial off ebay (around $1500 or so including a ceramic bezel insert.

 

[John71]

Here's a pic (left: what I want, middle: PT pic on website, right: my QC pic) Is it worth the effort/ money to get the bigger hour markers? Seems like the one I get has relatively big ones compared to the PT website..

 

[jcagara08]

look!

Wow those dial markers are awesome. Pretty damn close to gen.

The pearl too! very GEN like!

 

[John71]

When I order the DSSD V7 dial will a watchmaker be able to swap the hour markers to my dial?

 

[Dan_189]

Your dial has the Oyster perpetual date spacing issue, I'd solve that first IMO.

 

[John71]

How to solve that?

 

[Dan_189]

Get a TC or Sean dial IMO then change the markers if you want to. Wouldn't be a cheap exercise though. There's always this one

Will the SA3135 dial fit my Noob SubC with Sellita?

And / or will the TC dial fit my watch?

 

[Dan_189]

Will the SA3135 dial fit my Noob SubC with Sellita?

But will the TC dial fit my watch?

A SA3135 dial has the genuine rolex feet position so it won't fit a sellita.

I believe a TC dial will fit a Sellita movement.

So a TC dial fits a Noob SubC case? And if I use my watch dial I can use the DSSD V7 hour markers? BTW changing hour markers on a dial is it really expensive (I mean more than 100 euro?)

 

[Dan_189]

No idea of the price it would depend on your watchmaker. I'm sure someone on here has fit a TC on a Noob ceramic. I have a rep ceramic sub and a TC dial if I need to check the fitment
