Bamford x Asprey Rolex SkyDweller and Explorer II

What do you think? I wouldn't buy one myself but they do look pretty cool

Just aweful, every single watch in the article for that matter. Wouldn't wear it if they were given to me.

Hence, I don't mind custom works but these are just not to my taste.

For the Exp2, OK if you like that sort of thing, but not for me.

What I simply don't understand at all is PVDing a Sky Dweller. I'd love to know if someone actually ordered that watch or if they made that on spec. Either way, that makes no sense to me at all.

I do not like them

I would not buy one

It is a shame that some cannot create but only modify someone elses work

Crimes against the "Crown"

The finish on the dial and hands looks very poor (apart from looking hideous!!)

I cannot understand why anyone would pay way over the retail for this to be done (badly) to a beautiful watch.

I wouldn't even let them pay me to alter my watches like that, no less pay a premium for theirs.

I got one of those as a text from a friend that said "sickest Rolex ever"...I didn't even begin to argue because to him it was. For me...not my style, but someone will buy them and love it..

I like it. Of course something like this only works in large portfolio of watches.

The purple color makes it look like a cheap fake. Moreso on a sky dweller. Disrespectful
