I personally would not, but I agree with Subking.

I wouldn't do it.

If you must have a black watch I'm sure you can find a nice one for $2640 or less.

1 - don't do it on a used version. the finish will not be consistant... TRUST
2 - don't do it

its a lot of money for DLC...its your money...but for a bit more you can probably pick up another DLC watch in the 2ndary market from people that regret their decision...

Traveler · 10 May 2010, 11:21 AM

Hey..it's your watch and your money..go with your instincts..afterall,,you are the one that is going to be wearing it.

CoopJr · 10 May 2010, 11:24 AM

For the love of god man don't do it! If for no other reason, if you don't like it, the watch will basically be ruined (IMO) and almost no one will buy it from you if you decide to sell it.

mpkRolex · 10 May 2010, 12:11 PM

If you are one filthy rich guy and dont care to throw away a Rolex then go ahead why not.

But if you are like me then please dont

If you think you may sell it down the road....keep it stock.

Good advice!

Gaijin · 10 May 2010, 01:28 PM

No. Please no...

watchmadness · 11 May 2010, 03:15 AM

Wow thats ex. I think i can do it for much cheaper.... IP it in Germany ..

Gerardus · 11 May 2010, 03:16 AM

Never for me.

EdChoi · 11 May 2010, 03:22 AM

I guess I'm in the minority on this philosophically.

I tear down my cars, re-engineer the aerodynamics, the engine block, the suspension geometry.

Is it still a Porsche? Of course it is. Is it a "officially recognized by Porsche" car? No, but that's not the reason I bought it.

Will your DLC Rolex be a formally accepted and baptized rolex? Probably not, in the eyes of others. But it will be your work of art, it will be your watch.

I say go for it. Remember, it's only a watch.

I will say the 2640 price tag is kind of steep, I've seen some excellent work done for far less and with some guarantees.

pz93c · 11 May 2010, 03:49 AM

Your watch, your choice.

Go for it.

If you intend to keep it then go for it.......otherwise NO.
