ThinkBachs Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Blackout Concept has some interesting ideas when it comes to customizing Rolex watches. Thought I'd share and inspire someone's creativity... Love 'em or hate 'em, at least the person who has one will have something unique. This should give a boost in business to our DLC providers.

wheaton26 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 it looks cool now, but like most things ... it's a fad. this devaules the watch and i would never consider doing this to a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) This is the watch that caught my attention- it was in the email but not in the catalog... It feminizes the DSSD, eeech. Is it me or is that RINGLOCK engraving way off? This is the one I thought was kinda cool though... Edited May 11, 2011 by ThinkBachs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 The B.O.C. One is a nice Homage. Even if you don't care for this sort of modification, I think it is a GOOD THING for our hobby, and the watch world in general. The more "Modified Gen Rolex's" in the wild, the better. The more people having GENs serviced by independents who may choose to use "Aftermarket" service parts the better. While I can appreciate an unmolested "Winder/Safe Queen w/B&P", lets mess with the purists who think using NON-Rolex hands, inserts or bracelets is a cardinal sin. The more muddy the water, the better... IMHO. This also sends a big Fsck You you to Rolex and their control freak nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have nothing against this or any other Rolex modder. However, I think those watches suck. Not because they're modded Rolexes, but because they're not even ORIGINAL modded Rolexes. Those look exactly like Pro-Hunters, DLC'ed with added red text. The only original idea I see there is the skeletonized dial on that Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% What the world needs is exact relicas of various rolex models (in outside appearance) with the trade name RELAX and the Devil's head with 2 horns to replace the hallowed coronet for a trademark. Below the dial center put: Supelazy Crapometer Officially Confused I'll take a black Submareener with a red Devil's head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 very cool stuff, its about personalizing your accessories and not resale value IMO. do you own the watch or does the watch own you? the rich are also not concerned with such things, take the sultan of brunei for example if they can afford to buy an ordinary rolex they surely wont care that personalizing it would ruin the resale value, in his case those dials are more rare. however the fascist regime known as rolex would never service this in a million years and some folks at vrf would have you banned. i bet it would [censored] them off something fierce on vrf to have a huge collection that are all personalized, especially if you had 2 DRSDs that were PVD'd and skeletonized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 who says you cant polish a turd , that Yacht master is a masterful improvement , the skeleton though is just a waste of time, its just a base plate? not black out but a nice concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
