This.

hdrazor251 · 13 November 2015, 12:35 PM

Very talented artist but would prefer his work on a different "canvas".

HogwldFLTR · 13 November 2015, 12:54 PM

There are folks who'll like these I'm certain; likely some of the same who like and perform the ink. Not my taste but it doesn't need to be.

It can be both!

Sorta a post gunpowder game-of-thrones look

denmanproject · 13 November 2015, 01:00 PM

Not on my watch....

Excellent workmanship nonetheless

Brianlap55 · 13 November 2015, 01:09 PM

Cool alternative...

It's just that, an alternative from the rest...not for everyone but good to see an artist experiment and push some boundaries...

Art is very subjective and at times polarizing as seems the case here...but, while it is not everyone's cup of proverbial tea...as one who appreciates all kind of art I don't think it is an "abomination" or anything perceived as negative...it is just different, unique and interesting...

Dismount · 13 November 2015, 01:16 PM

Not something I could pull off.

watchwatcher · 13 November 2015, 01:16 PM

No thanks.

fitzs · 13 November 2015, 01:22 PM

Badass. Terrible resale value, but I love it. I'd buy one secondhand for a cool $3k any day of the week, since that's about all they're gonna be worth.

psv · 13 November 2015, 01:26 PM

Not for me personally, but very artistic and super cool!

luvsub · 13 November 2015, 01:31 PM

Craftsmanship

Duke84 · 13 November 2015, 02:42 PM

Beautiful craftsmanship--very high quality hand engraving. Seems like it's getting harder to find such beautiful hand engravings. However, an engraved Rolex probably isn't for everyone.

subtona · 13 November 2015, 03:01 PM

Cool

harshad4005 · 13 November 2015, 04:34 PM

Looks nice, but not sure how long I will be happy with b4 wanting to go back, may be a minute !

I posted a thread about this artist before. I'm hugely impressed with what he does and I think the Explorer looks amazing! I don't know whether it would suit me, but I'd love to wear one, in any case.

LuminousMaximus · 13 November 2015, 07:28 PM

I hope I don't have bad dreams tonight...

Abdullasaif · 13 November 2015, 07:34 PM

Super cool but to hipster ill pass

capote · 13 November 2015, 07:57 PM

Terrible idea, good execution.

Black Bay Dan · 13 November 2015, 09:30 PM

HL65 · 13 November 2015, 09:31 PM

Not for me but amazing quality and work!

TK-710 · 13 November 2015, 10:13 PM

I prefer to look than to own.

Invictus Maneo · 13 November 2015, 10:16 PM

I think some of them look pretty cool! I would definitely wear one if it were given to me but if I'm the one shelling out the $$$ then I want original.

Hammer · 13 November 2015, 10:49 PM

The Explorer works, the rest, imo don't. My guess, is that these may appeal more to somebody who has never considered a Rolex before. If I wanted to personalize my Rolex, I'd go down the engraved caseback maybe, or switch it to a leather, or nato strap, but each to their own.

joli160 · 13 November 2015, 10:54 PM

I love it

It's not for everybody, but then the diamond crusted ones aren't either..

Very well said. To me. cool to look at but not to buy or wear.

Sublovin · 14 November 2015, 12:43 AM

Respect the craft but have no interest in owning one

KeithP · 14 November 2015, 12:56 AM

"Craftsmanship is pretty good"? Sheesh. Looks fantastic to me.
I'd never want one but I don't see a thing wrong with this, in fact I quite like them. Thanks for posting.

namussuz bilo · 14 November 2015, 01:13 AM

I appreciate the workmanship however I think some things should be left alone.

sickened1 · 14 November 2015, 01:19 AM

Maybe the Batman Giveaway should have the engraving done in the back by this guy.
