It would make all the difference.

Rolex would perform a better engraving job on the caseback, possibly a little dial addition also.

Then the collectors would go crazy.

88 pieces? That's $100,000 a set easily.

Just not me interested, either way.

This has been in the works longer than the Expy42 has been around, so bzzzt, incorrect.

It's a pimped Rolex, nothing wrong with that.

Not until Rolex charges you to turn it back to stock when you send it in for service.
very true
