CONGRATs Luc!....

I think it is a really beautiful Daytona...makes the watch a little bit understated...if that is ever possible with a Rolex!
SJX's earlier post on Bamford and Sons as well as the upcoming opening of a store in Singapore made me quietly surfed the Bamford's website and even "designed a couple of " piece unique" for myself! It's feels so wrong but yet sooo...exciting!!
If you're been to Singapore or are familiar with the culture in the far east, then you will know the interest Rolex commands to all and sundry...hence a "stealth" Rolex may indeed be the answer...
now I can't sleep.....
cheers! sh

My addiction to black...
By: luc00 : April 7th, 2010-12:50
A lot of people know my vices now and I know I do not have to try resisting, I am too weak. So to make a long story short, I paid a visit to my AD and after having a lot of black watches on the table he recorded that he had something else... Now I know th...
First.....

of all congratulations.... indeed a very rare one...... is it more anthracite than black? cheers
The S5 is such a superb car, Luc
By: amanico : April 7th, 2010-14:00
Especially in this color, with these wheels. As for the Daytona in black, I don't know... Honestly, I prefer it in its normal finish, but hey, the most important is that you're very happy with! Enjoy! Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas, I appreciate your "franc parler" and I must say that ...

I had mixed feelings about a "pimped" Rolex ...almost like buying a contraband product but... I could not stop thinking about it. My math teacher said : " making mistakes is human... and there are individuals that are more human than others". cheers. Luc
Hey, Luc
By: amanico : April 7th, 2010-21:26
Didn't want to offend you, my friend. Just to give a personal and subjective opinion on the Rolex. We don't always love the same tea, it is not a problem. Best, Nicolas
All to the contrary, Nicolas! I wanted to say that I felt the same way...
By: luc00 : April 7th, 2010-22:12
than you. Sorry if I did not manage to pass through my feelings. As a designer, I like authentic products and brands and I hate opportunists that make money while stealing other peoples work. I had a "cas de conscience" this week end, this is why I did no...
You are too cool for school. Luc

That Audi is AWESOME! Vrooooom! As much as I am not one to alter, in any way, any watch, with the possible exception of a different strap now and then, the pimped Rolly is HOT! My worthless prediction is that it will become a very collectible Rolex. Enjoy...
almost every manager has a daytona....
By: Baron - Mr Red : April 8th, 2010-02:35
you know i am strangely drawn to your choice...and it is strange. However, you have an alternative on Daytonas...... 6239, 6241, 6263, 6265 I bet not many managers have one of them.
Luc...
By: Baron - Mr Red : April 9th, 2010-00:57
I agree. I guess i was inferring that for the price of a modified daytona, you are not a million miles away from a nice vintage piece... and if the purpose of a modification is to NOT have something that the average manager has, then a vintage piece would...
Vintage ones are located in the food chain just below me!
By: luc00 : April 9th, 2010-11:05
What I believe , Joe is that going for a vintage shows a certain personal development. It is like oldtimers, you have to love the smell of old leather, the smell of warm oil... Some people are born with that taste , some acquire it, some will never grow u...
Don't worry ....
By: bimbeano : April 7th, 2010-21:29
... black is the new white !!! Great looking watch, to be seen in the flesh .... if you don't like it anymore i'll give you 50 quids for it ... or a bit more ... . Filip
I know some guys ...

yup :-)

I can't keep up ...
By: AndrewD : April 8th, 2010-21:25
I thought white was the new black, but now you're telling me we've gone back to black?! You always were ahead of your time, Luc, and actually white never grabbed me, so I am happy if a missed the whole 'white phase' in design. LOL. Andrew
Awesome !
By: DrStrong : April 7th, 2010-23:57
I had the chance to put a CVD coated Daytona on my wrist last year and I must say that I beleive that's the way Rolex should do the watch. Congrats, who dares wins ;-) Cheers Jeff
This is temptation....
By: Baron - Mr Red : April 8th, 2010-00:25
Project X do this type of "modification". I tell you, when i was a kid of about 12, I used to go with my dad to work in one of his shops. It was in Berwick Street in London. There were quite a few sex shops around the area. I ALWAYS used to offer to fetch...
You are guiding the way...
By: Giggs : April 8th, 2010-03:31
...onto a path that few seldom take...or at least admit to here!! I'm getting very tempted myself by the 'black selections' that Bamford, X, and PHunter, are offereing these days. Different takes on great watches! Good for you! Dave
I see so many people hoping for new derivates from Rolex...
By: luc00 : April 8th, 2010-13:40
and too often this creates a parallel offer. I love the icons from Rolex and wish mine would have been an authentic Rolex model and not a pimped one... Take care Dave and do not resist to the temptation... too much. Cheers. Luc
Looks good to me, and watches should express our personality ...
By: AndrewD : April 8th, 2010-21:32
... or at least one side of it. I love vintage Daytona's, but the modern watches in silvery light colours never appealed to me. This stealthy grey/black version looks great to my eyes, Luc, and I love the dial as well. Legibility looks to be heightened to...
the dark side of our personality...
By: luc00 : April 9th, 2010-11:30
The legibility is good but I almost wish to have the instrument rings matt to even improve it but somewhere you have to stop... There are quite a few companies I know and certainly many more. I went for it when I was sure that the AD and the "pimper" woul...

Bamford, Projectxdesigns, Pro hunter, Blackoutconcept, Positive coating real busy.. I agree with you that the mass do not pay attention any more if your watch does not look like the Rolexes they are use to track... The other category: the connaisseurs do ...

Hi Luc Sorry I am a little late with my 5cent. but have been away I wouldnt have done it myself (as I can read a lot of others wouldnt wither). But on the other hand, why not. You are as I know you almost religious to the color black, and as Rolex isnt su...
Great!

Hi Luc, Caming back for a few days abroad, i've read this noon your thread. I always have said that I don't like "tuned" watches but I have to say that the choice you've done is terrific and I like very much this Dayto.... Having the terrible doubt for so...

Excellent
By: CGJ0 : April 23rd, 2010-10:53
Excellent stuff. Wouldn't mind one myself... after I could afford a black R8 spyder... but I mean I'd happily take your S5 off your hands Great pics Luc.
