does anyone know black out concept/ ever work with them?

Hey guys, I just open their website, www.blackoutconcept.com, and I saw their work, it's just amazed to me. Does anyone ever send their watch to them to be costumized? Because I'm intrested to send my daytona to them and to be costumized. Any experiences and opinions? Thank you.

Most of the members here frown on customization, you can search Project X, I think there are some pictures of highly customized Rolex's-

Not a fan at all. But as John pointed out that is usually the general concensus around here.

That's easy, someone devoid of any class or taste whatsoever

My opinion keep your Daytona just the way it came from Rolex.

If you do it don`t expect to sell your watch for market value when you decide to sell,the value of your Daytona will be less.

They look cool, but the fact is it destroys the value. Only recommended if you have money to burn.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I had a stainless model.

To each his own, but I would never ever ever do that to a Rolex. What happens when you get your first big scratch? It will look pretty bad IMO.

I'm wondering, once it has been coated or whatever it is, can you go back to original without polishing too much metal off? I'm unfamiliar with the process...
