With good reason, as usual
Nico, you are too logical! I've always wanted a Rolex with a difference and this might be it. The missing crown guard and blackness makes it real cool.
When you say Rolex wouldn't service it, do you mean they will charge for work done or wouldn't touch it at all?
Project X Designs
I understand that some here have bought blacked-out Rolexes from these guys. I am thinking about getting an Explorer II similar to the Submariner they just introduced.
Sorry, clicked the wrong button!
I meant to post the pic: I really like what they've done, especially the removal of the crown guard. I'd like to ask the owners, are their watches really as nice as the pics? How's the workmanship and quality? Is the DLC done well, easy to maintain? Any c...
Well, efftee, it is up to you...
It looks interesting, on an aeshtetical point of view. About the quality, I don't know, I don't own one, and will not judge on a factor I didn't test. BUT: 1/ Isn't this black coating a bit too " trendy "? I saw it a bit too much for my taste, even from a...
ahhhh. Nicolas just hasnt turned to the dark side yet....
Project X is a good company. Its owned by a reliable guy, and the watches are great. About 70% of the watches i own are vintage. Of the 30% modern, yes one is pimped.... and yes it is from Project X. You have to take these watches for what they are. It is...
Brilliant, my friend.
So, except your new black thing, nothing else to show us? Nothing recent, I mean? Best, Mr Baron. 666.
welll...the last two i think you know
Explorer 1 and now the pimped Submariner. I did find a 16-hole caseback for teh 65 though...does that count as something new?
Well, that is what I feared...
The famous 16 holes case back... I did say it! Best, my friend. Nicolas
I have a pimped sub
from Pro hunter and I rather like it. I take it for what it is, which is a frankenwatch but I'm ok with it and I like it. I personally would not do it to a Patek or AP where I had to worry about service, but for the rolex I don't worry about it because pr...

Service?
Don't worry...Project X will do that too... and it will be done just as well as Rolex. I sound like a sales agent for Project X!! My pimped Sub arrives on Friday.
If your sub is already pimped does it make it even worse
if you pimp it some more LOL. I really want to change the bezel on mine to include red. Man I wish I was a watchmaker and could just make my own parts
Agree with your thoughts mon ami
My take is that the 'black look' is over done. Black has been the new black since forever. I mean, unless you can re-create black subtly (i.e. different shades akin to the PVD Panerai models) I think it's best to keep black at its minimum. And even if you...
All this hype about black rolex or vintage rolex...
Means simply that the current Rolex catalogue is quite boring... Just compare with other forums My humble opinion Olivier
No doubt Olivier :-)
The current line up for Rolex is less exciting compared to the current line ups of other major brands. That aside, no doubt I share your sentiments about the hype on PVD'd Rolexes, but I think there is passion (and not hype) in vintage Rolexes. Evidently,...
That one looks super cool. I like it
If you like it, go for it and enjoy. The one on the pic looks very exclusive also, and that's very important, to me. Don't worry about the service, it's just a watch movement. Any qualified watchmaker will fix it. Vte
