Akira 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Hi, I was thinking about making myself a vintage looking Submariner. I would buy a cheaper 21J of a current model o if available a model from the 90's and mod it myself. I have no experience in modding so far and my question is, does it make sense at all? Can I buy vintage rep submariner dials? Can I make the dial myself? Are there any tutorials? I found these so far http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...&hl=vintage http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...&hl=vintage http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...&hl=vintage Or should I just buy one of the vintage models? Thanks for your help in advance Edit: Thinking about the 16610 model from 1988, kind of that look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brightlight 0 Posted October 25, 2010 You will find it very difficult to get the parts you need, probably better to buy a vintage model. As this will look too new, you then can enjoy yourself aging it There should be plenty of threads here and on the other forums about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought so, but I haven't seen much cheapie vintage Subs around. Most of them are Eta, but since I'm no pro in modding I dont want to touch a higher priced model.
