It is crazy that a company like Asprey expects the buyer to pay more for THEIR advertising, when they should be paying the buyer (in a discount) for the privilege of advertising on your wrist.

Usually these types of mods leave me felling like I could go either way, but in this case the color combination makes them look like toys rather than luxury watches to me.

Don't like the look of that personally, but not my money.
By the way, are those prices all-in or over & above the original cost of the watch?

Personally I think it is unattractive, but I respect those who have such a passion for watches to the degree they would perform such a bold modification.
X2. I agree completely.

Okay, maybe not so much.
That purple would look hot on stainless.

Those were the prices for the watches all in. Being in England however you could also get a VAT refund when leaving

Don't mind the mods but why do they ruin the dials by advertising their name? That alone would stop me buying one

In all fairness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But after what they've done, the watch should worth 50~60% of original price.
