Well it certainly would turn heads...
...or stomachs... ...or turn the milk sour...  Not my taste but like customizing your car's bodywork, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

halloween, is a good one. It didn't even cross my mind. I am not looking for versatility nor for everyday use. My first look at it looked like a cool sporty watch but I guess most people that own rolex watches don't like the change. |

If it was an official Rolex reference, I could be tempted.

color scheme is a bit off...the orange is simply too predominant. white or gray might have worked better. judging by that Playboy Submariner, the Bamford design mentality seems to border on the gauche.

It does not look that bad imho, I would be concerned that the coating wears off and than it becomes ugly

Such heavily modded Rolex are generally not popular in this forum. I have to say that I concur with that.
Some subtle mods like a different color datewheel or seconds hand are fine by me, but something that extreme on a Rolex/Tudor is a no go. Besides, following that path you pay a lot and you still lose two very important assets of Rolex watches: the great resale value and the aftersales service. I do like the looks of it, though. But along those lines I'd rather go with something like this (not my pic):  It's A LOT less money, and it's its own thing. Original and not a modded something else. Just my 2c. |
