So a few weeks back, I was introduced to Wildman from another member. They are a custom design house that offers customization and custom builds and limited edition builds using modern Rolex. For those who want something different.
He asked if I could recreate the Wildman Milsub
Offered in a limited production of 10 pieces.

It has all the hallmarks of the milsub. toasted lume, sword hands and fully graduated bezel.
How did I recreate this masterpiece?
Raffles 114060 case
raffles milsub insert
raffles milsub dial
raffles eta milsub hands
Gen ETa 2824 with date function removed.
Raffles milsub case back. - sadly it didn't fit the modern case, but I suppose if one was inclined they could round over the case back and have it engraved with the standard milsub script. That would be the icing on the cake as even wildman didn't do that.
These are the results. pictured with my Vintage 5517 Milsub. build. I must admit. I like this piece alot more than I thought I would. I am a vintage builder as most of the modern pieces dont excite me much, but being able to add some elements from the past into a modern build, was alot of fun .
It was a fun project to work on , something a lil different. I thought you guys might like seeing it.
Thanks for your interest
edit sorry for the dust.
