freddy333 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I am with Nanuq. It just looks funky (home brewed) & not in a good way. I also wonder if the advertising of his mods will eventually catch the ire of Rolex lawyers - Rolex does not approve any modification made on the Rolex products by non authorized third parties, including the addition of verbal and graphic elements, as well as any customization activity (such as black coated watches, the addition of aftermarket diamonds, bezels, dials and bracelets, etc.). These modifications may harm the quality and the integrity of the Rolex products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I think some of the fantasy models us modders come up with would look nicer than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I know that it's the project x company making it, they do this all the time and don't get sued.. Am I the only one who likes it!? I hope my love of big crowns isn't clouding my judgement! I don't like modern rolexes because they leave me cold, no bevels, thick blocky cases etc. but in this case I feel like they did make a better looking modern rolex, way too overpriced though imo. I wouldn't buy it but I would certainly wear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I like it and given Josh did these Project X no crowns , there is always the possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't buy it but I would certainly wear it. I like it, and I'm a card-carrying vintage Rolex fan/owner Yes, it could have been better. These guys make cosmetic changes only - not major structural or mechanical modifications. The changes they've made make for an attractive watch - far better IMHO than any modern Rolex I've seen of late Further cosmetic changes? Matte the dial, and top it with a domed plexi I'll take the plunge and get one made up. Thankfully it won't cost me 15,000GBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschespeedster Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) can't believe they're calling grey market cases and dodgy modded parts ''original'' when basically they are too ashamed to say they are doing what we do. if it didnt have fake vintage lume and the proportions were better i'd probably buy Edited December 15, 2013 by porschespeedster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
