This just in...









forum pickup, it just looked lonely in the sales section over on wus...
the usual suspects, AR sapphire, 60 click bezel, chinese fine thread crown...ouch (hopefully www has a better crown and tube on his I can replace this with) added the rivet style bracelet to complete the look!

I probably spent as much building my one off vintage sub like this so it's not money wasted but once you have seen one rolly style diver you've seen them all! subtlelaugh.gif

Cool little watch!
I tried this bracelet on my Marathon SAR once...Made one day and bang it was off...Looked too skinny on me.
Question of taste.
I like the different bezel: As non typical Rolex

Congrats on the new Kemmner!!
I like it, looks well made and clean dial too. I'm surprised about the Chinese crown you mentioned. Never really looked into it but assumed these were made in Germany.

It looks great though. Wear it in good health!

Just by looks, I like everything about this watch. Traditional diver-style. The bezel appeals to me because it's not too busy and for a desk diver like me, that's good enough. Also, the simpler bezel sets it apart from the usual homage. Nice one, amigo. Enjoy it in good health for a long time.

I like what you've done especially the bracelet but I would like a little smaller logo on the dial. Other than that it looks to be a sweet sub clone.

Thanks Guys! it's a fine watch all the way around, the rivet bracelet is a solid link that just looks like a rivet so it has some heft to it and the adjustable links use screws disguised as rivets so it''s should hold up to some abuse.

 The fine threads on the crown are not really a deal breaker but I was surprised to see them on this, it may have to do with the crown design since the crown has a bevel cut in the case side of it to clear the bezel just like the classic no guard models... I tried to cross thread it and bugger up the threads and was unsuccessful so it is tougher than it appears!
