Cruising eBay this afternoon I spotted this Sub. The laser bracelet treatment is interesting, but I think I would have bought an aftermarket bracelet and had it done, saving the original.

wow, i have to say that is pretty bad my friend. there should be laws about doing stuff like that to a rolex!

Numismatist · 5 November 2010, 06:50 AM

Hmmm, interesting concept... I don't like that particular design; but I could be convinced of some others.

It appears there are more and more ways to mess up a perfectly good Rolex!

Cute!

Gross

That is interesting...maybe a gift for somebody's wife since we see more and more females wearing bigger watches!!

Grissom · 5 November 2010, 08:06 AM

I never would have thought........

Jason71 · 5 November 2010, 08:14 AM

I hope that is for a woman

Looks tacky IMHO

RolexABC · 5 November 2010, 08:21 AM

Quite like this idea. Tis a nice way to personalise your Rolex

G.D.BeanCounter · 5 November 2010, 08:27 AM

I seem to recall coming across a similar listing some time ago on ebay... probably same seller. I agree, I would not do that to the original bracelet, which gives flexibilty to change back. However, the concept is rather neat, but the design...

Mockingbird · 5 November 2010, 08:29 AM

I kinda like the concept of it...

I mean, watchmaking is about pushing new limits and inventions, I've taken a liking to things like this recently. (not to adding diamonds etc, but this is almost tasteful because of how moderate it is)

Is it worse than this...

I think the overall concept is good. As stated above if done with a more appropriate pattern the overall effect could quite pleasing.

In the past I had considered something similar. I was thinking to etch the name of every country my Sub and I traveled to into the links.

It could be fun to etch a map on the bracelet of a GMT.

dddrees · 5 November 2010, 08:58 AM

Interesting

David Woo · 5 November 2010, 09:04 AM

Interesting motif, the acid etch job is pretty good.

RRGHOST1 · 5 November 2010, 09:16 AM

I actually quite like it. Looks a bit like some tattoos.

That’s not bad, but it does have a Yacht Master look to it?? As for the bracelet not for me

GradyPhilpott · 5 November 2010, 01:32 PM

Everyone's always talking about how women look more sexy wearing a Rolex sports watch >40mm.

This ought to appeal to some of those ladies.

Submarino · 5 November 2010, 01:38 PM

What a way of screwing up all those beautiful watches!

Watch Professor · 5 November 2010, 01:52 PM

Ugh!

austinnh · 5 November 2010, 01:59 PM

I like it. A break away from the norm that is not ugly... a too rare thing.

Speed · 5 November 2010, 03:20 PM

Does he have any PVD versions?

Rags · 5 November 2010, 06:13 PM

Wow!!! That is so wrong.

powerfade · 5 November 2010, 06:48 PM

Not necessarily bad. Depends on what pattern you pick. Wouldn't do it unless I had a bunch of Rolexes, that's for sure. It'd be good for your baller cred at Foxwoods.

Clogger · 5 November 2010, 09:35 PM

I certaintly like the idea, not to keen on the design, would be more suited to a lady I think.

I love seeing these modded Rolie's, they really seem to p##s off the the Rolex purists.
