David Beckham's Pro Hunter DSSD

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...-ceremony.html

Not my cup of tea but an interesting choice from his usual standard DSSD or Gold Dayjust on Leather Strap.

I think it's cool, if the coin wasn't much to make it black my Milgauss, which I don't have, would be black !!

Different strokes for different folks I guess, it's not my cup of tea but as long as he likes it...

I agree with you though, it does look special.

I think the blacked out Rolexes look great, however, I'd wouldn't do it with my watch(es)... unless I already had a huge collection, which I don't think I will ever have.

X2 but being Beckham you know he isn't wearing a cheap watch. I like the PH but wouldn't fork out that much cash for one. I don't get why people get so torn up about it. There are 100's of thousands DSSDs out there. It's not rare or collectable. So what if 500 get PVD. Not like it's a Comex... It's a modern Rolex and I bet he could careless about resale value.

Actually, resale value would actually go up for anything that David Beckham wears. Many of his customized cars have increased in value. I guess it's the celebrity/football status thing.

David Beckham has an OBE which does not entitle him to be called Sir.

Have to agree on that one but a so called celebrity, as today you have only got to appear on the X factor to be called a celebrity.

Love it, and I love the PVD/DLC Rolex variations

Never understood why people get so precious about it, I really don't get it.

Good for him.



(the only problem I have is with that AWFUL shirt )
