I’d let my taste and liking govern as opposed to the collectable aspect. So, if you like it and it represents “value” to you—go for it. IMO, I don’t believe it will take on any mystic or significance. [nt]

Question to all the experts ! Are Bamford Daytona’s collectible and will they be sort after ?
Have an opportunity to acquire one from a friend . I like it as it’s different . They don’t do Rolex Bamfords anymore I hear . What do u say ? ...
Not my cup of tea.
Never liked PVD coated watches, from anyone, especially not after-market ones. Its same as tuning a ferrari! Why would you do that? Regards.
In my personal opinion
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.
Collectible? Sure Sought after l8r? who knows. Demand is outstrippin supply in most asset classes with #millionaires at all time highs. Plus cash offers no return. It doesnt take consensus
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 r...
Some Of Us Purists Call That...

I do not think it will ever become a collector item
I would not go for it. The dial is...nice. The PVD is awful. Best, R
Bamford - Just My Opinion ...
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 colle...
Buy what you like and don’t care what others say
As long as it gives you a smile on your face you will be fine . Its your money and wrist.
No. But if you love it why not?
Let’s say it’s a modern submariner - then buy two. Keep one all original and customize the second to your pleasure. Life is too short not to enjoy. My two cents. Best,
No and no. I’m pretty certain of that. BUT, there are a number of Bamfords which I really like and would not hesitate to pick up at the right price.
I do find however that the colour of these blacked out Bamfords is not so appealing. Too dark, too black, it really doesn’t work but what do I know (Tudor just released their “all black” LE and there’s a market for that). If you like it buy it (at a mater...
UGH
ALL modified Rolexes make me want to grab a hammer. But I saw one modded Daytona on this site (not a Bamford) sell recently --quickly--for a large price. No idea if it's doomed or not. But as a Purist... Nevvver MOD A ROLEX. I feel sadness and concern whe...
