ThinkBachs 1 Posted April 23, 2011 I've been playing with an idea to create a Rolex DEEPSEA that takes the initial design to an unparalleled next level. After months of design considerations, the concept is now complete. I never thought I'd ever find my "grail watch" but it seems that when you least expect it, boom- there it is. Introducing the Rolex DEEPSEA Tacticalâ„¢ Lume shot added... Details: Satinized Rolex Pro-Hunter dial Rolex Tudor Ranger II handset Dial and handset superlumed white/green Red second hand Red print date disk Crystal underside single AR coated Pearl replaced with previous version inset pearl for rigorous stability Bead blasted Bracelet, crown, and bezel are DLC'd Case receives an extremely durable NATO gun finish The DLC is being handled by Pbdad going through Avitt. I'll be taking care of the case finish and sourcing the parts- all of which are either on hand or on the way. Ideally, I'd love to have a DSSD dial with custom red DEEPSEA and TACTICAL on it. Someday... I'm currently looking for someone with excellent luming skills and can communicate in a timely manner. All those involved will receive full recognition in the final writeup once the project is complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted April 23, 2011 have you seen "Live and Let Die" recently? Q gives 007 a rolex that glows red on pushing a button (and has powerful magnet) - but the red glow might be called for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted April 23, 2011 LMAO - I just googled for it and came up with the"saw" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThinkBachs 1 Posted April 23, 2011 BAH! What the hell good is a "Buzz Saw" watch that you can stop with your finger? Good for entertaining kids I guess. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ped 13 Posted April 23, 2011 do you think having all the bezel indices lumed as well would be too much on your design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThinkBachs 1 Posted April 23, 2011 do you think having all the bezel indices lumed as well would be too much on your design? I had played with that idea and decided against it. If the lume where under the insert as it is on the Ploprof, then maybe, but my understanding with this idea is that it might not hold up well being exposed to the elements. I imagine that if this were worn in combat, it would be nice to be able to see the watch, but not have it seen by the enemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about the tubes though... As far as the dial work goes, I'd love to have Ska do it. His satin finish and lume work are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThinkBachs 1 Posted April 25, 2011 I'm all in on the black rubber strap for sure. Still hoping to hear from Ska about doing the lume/dial work, haven't gotten a reply yet from my pm a few days ago. Some ideas might be: $208.00 Omega Black Rubber Strap 21 mm Long. Special 21 mm wide Omega Rubber strap comes only in long length, takes special buckle below. You must have or order one of thes buckles to use this strap, since like all Omega straps it does not come with a buckle. $128 WOW! Racy and dynamic design matched with high technological competence both in caoutchouc material used and the "Leonardo" integrated attachment. This exciting bracelet which inspires by high touch and wearing comfort is furthermore equipped with an elegant stainless steel folding buckle which allows individual length adjustment. 22mm fits Zulu UTC Grey G10 NATO Military Watch Strap utc-g10-nato-military-divers-watchband-fits-zulu * FAST, FREE U.S. shipping. * FAST $2.50 international / worldwide shipping. * Color: Gray. * Made in Germany. * 22mm wide. * 2mm-thick heavy cross-woven ballistic nylon. * 295mm (11-1/2 inches) long, excluding buckle. * 17 holes, starting 40mm from end and spaced 7.5mm. * Fits wrists 5-1/2 to 10 inches. * 78mm between second and third rings (where watch sits). * 316L non-magnetic stainless steel hardware. * Joints and edges securely heat-welded; holes and ends heat sealed per UK Ministry of Defence / NATO specifications. * 'UTC' stands for Coordinated Universal Time (Zulu time). * Also called 'G10' after the requisition form used by military personnel. * To determine your required band size, measure the distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch. * Fits dive / SCUBA, fire, police, aviator and military watches, including Torgoen, Luminox, Tag Heuer, Panerai, Rolex and Omega. * Extra steps add up to a long-lasting, comfortable and non-irritating band that can take all sorts of punishment in the water and out. * This band's ruggedness and tight weave are the best we've seen, and our customers agree. # utc-g10-nato-military-divers-watchband-fits-zulu UTC fits Zulu straps available in brown, blue, black, grey and Army olive green in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm.
