Never liked PVD coated watches, from anyone, especially not after-market ones. Its same as tuning a ferrari! Why would you do that? Regards.

I see Bamford as the same category as “tampered with”, redial, frankenwatch. Something I would never touch. Others may see it differently and that’s fine.

anymore for anything to be successful. Exceptions are the new norm. Bamford or ADG being prime specimens of such exceptions. Odysseus is already described successful in the intro here when consensus doesn't luv it. If you like it and can acquire it at a reasonable price sure but FWIW it is still a 12k Daytona.

I would not go for it. The dial is...nice. The PVD is awful. Best, R

If you like it buy it, why care what others think ? Bamford were the original Rolex customisers at the start of the “blackout” craze. Rolex should have done it, but didn’t. George Bamford is a very stylish gentleman that has a fabulous vintage watch collection. From my experience the company offers a great service and treats its customers with respect.
