Rolex

Guys, see live photos of the watch which arrived today. Like i said in the other posting, the green looks a bit darker than expected. But since my request was to be similar to Hulk's green and when comparing the two they look similar, I cannot really comp...  

I had to look up the meaning of the inscription at the back though..

Love everything about this watch. The inscription. The display caseback. The movement decoration. The dial. The pump pushers. The dial color. Inshallah you will wear it in the best of health

The resemblance of the Hulk's color is succesful. The see-through back case is a good addition.

How does the customization work sir? You provided them with the base watch or they source for you? Thinking of a simple customization for a DayDate.

Sent them an email. Let’s see if they accept my project. It’s for my 50th birthday, about six years from now. So not in a rush. Though with the rising prices might make sense to do it now.

You post some time ago, you ordered a custom Rolex. Thanks for sharing the results. A remarkable Daytona. When i see your Daytona, do they deliver a Hulk with a transparant back? But first i must reform my watch rules, which commands a watch which brand i... 

Love the green dial! Wear it in the best of health inshaAllah 🤲🏻

Well done! Regards, George

Modern construction and vintage Rolex styling go very well together.

So it uses a Rolex movement. What about the case? Is the dial from a Rolex as well? Just changed to green?

The dial is probably not from Rolex, but the case and movement are definitely Rolex parts. The rotor and bezel are definitely not.

I’m sure they must have to as a matter of law, but I’m surprised Rolex would give such a license, even to a company like AdG which clearly makes a nice product.

Bamford operated for years without official license from Rolex until Rolex's lawyers petitioned Bamford to stop modifying Rolexes. For Rolex's lawyers, this is probably a "whack-a-mole" job. Every year a new "modification" company probably gets on their r... 

Still, the personalization is cool and I know some very big collectors and famous people have these in their collection.

I can't comment about the legal side. But there's definitely a desire from some people and dislike from other persons for "modified" watches. Brabus modifies cars for Mercedes-Benz, and Mercedes-Benz seems to be very happy about it. To me, it's a very sim... 

The legal standard for trademark infringement (at least in the US) is whether there is a “likelihood of confusion” with the authentic product. Re-badging addresses that, whereas the AdG product, on its face, to an ordinary consumer, appears to be a Rolex ... 

I was wondering if they got a genuine Rolex dial and somehow changed it to green. The rotor and bezel are definitely remanufactured and thus not Rolex parts. The case and movement being genuine Rolex does make this a very interesting watch!

Although i must say, i personally am having mixed feelings about the green shade of the dial. I need to see it in daylight to know if i'm 100% happy about it. Also, in hindsight, I think maybe if the bezel in matching green as well would have been better.... 

Reminds you of what you are in this world

Do you have to supply the donor watch? I went to the Artisans De Geneve website and it doesn't say if you have to supply the donor watch. Definitely very interesting. It's kind of like buying a Brabus or Ruf modified Mercedes or Porsche vehicle.

They can source the watch or you can send yours. I chose for them to do it, since it's a hassle to ship my watch to them with all the taxes applicable and paperwork.
