I think the Rolex Oyster 116000 with Arabic dial gets completely over looked - such a simple and amazing watch. It suits the lack of the Mercedes hour hand too. 36mm... what’s not to like..especially the value! I believe it uses a Sub movement also.
I’d definitely pick that (unless your wanting a stainless sports for value retention).
Someone should stick up for this guy!
Anyone here actually tried this? If so, how much were the mercedes hands and installation? I'm sorely tempted. Much cheaper and, if I'm remembering correctly, the original explorer was based on the OP, so it's in the same spirit.
Yes I had the OP 36 and got my watchmen to source the genuine Mercedes hands from the Submariner 116610. Sweet combo!
Cost?
Anyone know if changing the hands will void the warranty? I asked a question here some months back about reluming a Trilogy Railmaster to get rid of the faux patina and the answer came back 'yes', even something as minor as a relume will void the warranty.
You mean cost of the hands and installation? think paid like $200 but was about 3 years ago and understand the prices on parts have gone up
