Just a comment about your signature photo about attracting positive energy-
To attract positive energy, you actually need to give off negative energy.
Give it a try, you'll have better luck.

PS with the above in mind. Hate it!

DLC is awesome for internal engine parts. For wristwatches, not so much.

I give you a lot of props for making these custom Rolex watches. I personally don't have the heart and guts to do this to my babies. It's like trying to change a Audi into a Volkswagon or telling a turtle to turn into a tortoise.

Not my cup of tea but to each, his own.

I like it. I wouldn't do this to my own watch, but I'd wear it if someone gave it to me.

Seriously, how do these blacked out watches develop their patina over time? I like the look, but if through normal wear and tear the black scratched off and you could then see the stainless steel, that would be a bummer. Will rolex even service them? The one thing I love about Rolex is that they are made to last a lifetime, and then hopefully your kids lifetime too. Can one expect the same on these modified versions? Just ask'n...
