Much has been said about the Daytona in all its different iterations WG, YG, with Leather Strap, Meteorite Dial, TT, SS White Dial, BLakc Dial, but I had never heard about this Black Daytona!

Probably no help from RSC. Maybe Devon would have someone from the Foundation service the Knight Timer for you. Can you use it to talk to K.I.T.T.? The first one did- it WAS a Casio!

I like Darthtona

I think Darthona is cool. Lots of other models do a PVD coated variant often used for special op's. Old Heuer Chrono's look very cool in black PVD IMHO.

The RSC problem is a major issue though.

I like the color black but not for a Rolex. It kinda reminds me of my G-Shock.

I'd say that RSC would either consider this a such heavy modification that the guarantee is voided, or RSC will service it, but bring the watch back to its original configuration. At the customer's expense. And IMHO, this won't be cheap.
