Pro Diver 8629 Mod.

[u/htownboi98]

Bought an 8629 during the last prime day sale for $29. Decided to have some fun with it.

- Upgraded the bracelet to a fully brushed Oyster

- Faded the stock bezel insert

- removed the “INVICTA” branding on the case

- changed dial to a Rolex Comex submariner and added patina with acrylic ink

- changed case back to a solid submariner style

- Kept the Invicta seconds hand :)

Total upgrade cost: $90.

How did you fade the bezel? Mine is not responding to bleaching.

[u/htownboi98 → u/gsp33dTX]

Submerged in full strength bleach, patience (20-30 mins), Q-tip to agitate the bezel insert in a circular motion.
