I saw a white face explorer 2, but the GMT bezel had been PVD or cerakoted black.
Looked awesome. Think it’s a mod??

There is nothing wrong with individuality and it is good to see someone who has the nerve and drive come up with some creative and original thought.
Good thread.
Aren’t poor fakes just like a pimped Rolex then ?
Half of them have submariner dial and the like on a supposed GMT master
The definition of a pimped watch would mean it is a modification of a genuine one. A fake is always a fake.Originally Posted by speedypro1111

I'm all for modding any watch. If I had an explorer 2, I'd dump the cyclops and the hour hand. Nothing wrong with changing your own watch to suit your own tastes.
No, they are not even a Rolex let alone a pimped one but that should be obvious.
Most of these “pimped” watches prove that an abundance of money and good taste don’t usually go together.
F.T.F.A.
This statement proves that verbose, sweeping, generalised statements are always, 100% false. Everytime. Without fail. 100% FACT.
Owning a standard Rolex is also not a measure of good taste....
True dat.
I see a lot of these on Instagram. For every few crass ones, I see one that does look good. May not be everybody's cuppa but I wouldn't make such a sweeping statement.
That does look better imo.I saw a white face explorer 2, but the GMT bezel had been PVD or cerakoted black.

I like to see this kind of thing, would like a dlc coated sub or explorer for sure, they are only Rolex after all not the crown jewels.
My point being modding a genuine IMO just makes it look fake
Each to they’re own I suppose

It would depend on the quality and design of the mod. There are some very tasteful high quality customisations in the links above. Many watch companies do limited edition specials. Some of these mods look like special edition Rolex.
I take it this was said tongue in cheek...
I think that looks rather smart. Rolex....you listening,(ofcourse not, why change now) roll on Basel 2020 I say.I saw a white face explorer 2, but the GMT bezel had been PVD or cerakoted black.

For balance, there are some stunning horrific Rolex mods out there.

I wonder how many people pimp their rolex then get upset when they find rolex won't service it?
I always remember this fondly, from very shortly after I joined this forum

Apart from the GMT hand, batons, different style bezel, black crown......Looks like a Tag
I'd gladly have a blacked-out Submariner. I think they look amazing and make for some variety when the watch is so ubiquitous.
Wish I'd gone ahead when they weren't Disneyland money.
