    Custom Rolex not Bamford

    I read a news article today and I haven't seen these people mentioned before when it comes to custom Rolex's (not that haven't) but I actually like it seems like a Rolex meets Seiko hybrid. Anyways, it would be nice if Rolex would try their hand at similar offerings. I know, I know all the purists will cry foul here but nothing like having a creative open mind.

    Some nice looking pieces there, but not many will agree.

    To me, the hour hand doesn’t match the minute hand.

    Interesting but not for me. Execution looks superb though.

    Some lovely looking Rolex, not cheap I'd expect.

    I like them, and I like this one in particular:

    My favourite of the bunch. They actually look like a quality piece unlike Bamford which look like total hack jobs. The 18k Daytona is beautiful

    They look like fakes would to my eye. Probably because of the over exposure to, and familiarity with, the models they are made from.

    Rolex won't service them. And what would they be worth second hand.

    I agree.But they do look nice! Like the milgauss as it's subtle and also the 18k daytona.

    I’m aware of the company and have seen the Spike Lee Brooklyn before. There are some stunnning designs and the execution, from what we can see, looks outstanding.

    I expect things like servicing and residuals aren’t important if you can afford one of these.

    I really like the crown-guardless look, and the 116520 is mass produced so I have no problems with them doing it, but the prices are crazy high.

    They look tasteful and well done, but almost £20k, no.

    Out of interest, which brands are acceptable to mod and which aren't?

    Not an attack, just an attitude I've never understood.

    I can agree with everyone's opinion on the thread to a point. I will also say there are many who always ask why can't such and such a brand add some flavor once in a while. I can't afford any of their offerings but I do like what they are doing with design. Sometimes just being able to look at a possibility is good too.

    Yes Foxy very very nice!! You should get one and post it up here for us I'll always be your number #1 watch picture fan
