Vintage Blasted Rolex Submariner

Recommended Posts

Played around with another Sub last weekend. Blasted this one, sterilized the bezel, darkened the indices. Enjoy.

A+ for creativity, but I am a purist when it comes to Rolex. Not working for me.

I like it but I think it'd look better with a faded insert rather than the sterile blasted one.

 

Love the dial and case combo, very phantom!

PM sent to move to Rolex, complete brain lapse.

Freshly blasted it does look a bit cheap. As the finish darkens and patina's it will transform

I'll take your word for it :) At the minute, it looks like it's been sprayed with a light gunmetal metallic matt paint. As you say, maybe as it takes on some age to match the dial, it will look better. I think that's what looks wrong at the minute. Aged dial, with brand new looking case and bezel. Once they merge together, it'll probably look quite good.

Only thing left to do it dip the date disc in coffe or tea to darken it. Nice work :)
