'Kinorryball!

The colour looks like it was applied with a toothpick.
Irony is, in 20 years it'll probably fetch a fortune!
It'll still be 'orrible though!!

I think it looks good. Jack at IWW can do that kind of modification.

Some of you guys are quite funny ... this isn't near as bad as some of the offerings being shown by Rolex themselves. I offer the leopard Daytona for example .... ick.

Cheers!

I think it looks pretty good. If it were on a mahogany brown croc strap, it would be quite the piece.

I'll defend this idiot's right to mod his watch, but I certainly won't be buying it from him when he's done with it.

Also, does anyone know why we're seeing so many PVDed Rolex lately?

You guys are a tough crowd. I am not sure that I would have done the bezel numbers in red, but it is not that bad. Is everyone around here a purist??

I guarantee you if ANYONE here were "given" one for free, they would take it; how long they'd hang onto it is another thing, they'd likely put it on the Sales Corner to get what they can for it.
Purists, ha, I would bet that even a tru Purist would have one in their stable just cause...

Thanks,
Randy
