Invicta 8926OB Mod - Milsub Homage
This is my latest mod using an Invicta watch and creating a Milsub homage. The Milsub was issued to UK Special Forces in the 1970s. About 1,200 were made with the majority being 'lost'. There's approximately 200 in circulation worldwide and one recently sold for £170k.

    it would have been a great video if you recorded the actual procedure on at least one of the mods done on this watch. its the in between stuff i need to see, not just the before and after.

  • @thepenultimateninja5797

    That looks fantastic. If you're like me, and don't think tool watches should have exhibition backs, the plain steel Submariner case back from Raffles Time fits the Invicta case perfectly.

    I want to modify my Invicta pro diver 36mm. Can you please tell me what diameter of the dial should I buy?

  • @monsta3038
    @monsta3038 Před 2 lety

    I'm glad I saw your video. I definitely would like to change the hands and dial .I ordered the watch with the scalloped bezel to save time and effort. The biggest problem I'm having is choosing the parts ,the array is staggering.

  • @f1hotrod527
    @f1hotrod527 Před 2 lety

    I have all 4 colors coming. New to watches. I think I will polish the bezels only. I will probably leave the green watch completely unpolished so it keeps a more military vibe. It is actually the cream colored watch that looks the most striking with the right color strap. I almost did not get the cream one because the cream strap it comes on, makes it look so washed out and boring. Nice video.

  • @lbank4526

  • @rangersmith4652
    @rangersmith4652 Před 2 lety

    Very nice. I considered polishing my 805, but decided to leave it as is for now. I agree, the standard strap is too stiff and essentially useless. Mine's on a NATO in the factory olive green.

  • @rhuggins573
    @rhuggins573 Před 2 lety

    Looks like the Marine Nationale Tudor Sub and much better with the original bezel insert. I'm going to order the patina blue snowflake for mine. Nice vid thanks

  • @ianmarshall3633
    @ianmarshall3633 Před 2 lety

    What a great conversation. Probably the best one I've ever seen. You should make a little business out of this. I would certainly pay to have mine converted. I'm sure other people would as well. Great video.

    Invicta should hire you in the design department in charge of tasteful aesthetics. Would love to see an Invicta or Oreint based 1918 Trench Watch and/or a Hamilton dial style 1950's Railroad watch.

  • @Mrmarginofsafety

    Well done, can you put in the notes the exact parts you ordered. Were they specific to the Invicta or generic seiko. Were you happy with the Lume?

  • @mstrwul1
    @mstrwul1 Před 3 lety

    Walk around the garden to compose myself, pmsl. Get yourself a magnifying light. I know the frustrations of hand installs but learned with trial and error. Another tip don't use your pad when putting hands on. If you notice your pad is soft in the centre which is not ideal. Great build

    Hi... I have a 8926OB that I don't really want to mod, but do want to upgrade. Is that bezel ceramic? If so where'd you get it. Also I'd like to put a sapphire crystal in it, do you happen to know the crystal dimensions? I'd like to pre-order one and have it on hand before I pop out the one in it now. BTW, Very nice vid, Thanks

    • @TheBarkingToad
      @TheBarkingToad Před 3 lety

      Hi it’s an aluminium bezel insert fromTiger Concept. You can get ceramic inserts on EBay. I think the crystal size for the 8926OB is 30mm.
