BNA/LION · 14 October 2014, 04:04 AM

IMHO

rmfnla · 14 October 2014, 04:14 AM

So it's what, gold plated?

What do you do when it starts to wear off..?

Partially, and looks like crapola in the process...

Use a Brillo pad to even it out? Yikes!

T. Ferguson · 14 October 2014, 04:24 AM

Did they start with an Explorer II? First mistake was sawing off the crown guards. And who needs lume for cave exploration anyway?

It's a matte coating, similar to PVD

sturgeon123456 · 14 October 2014, 04:19 AM

I think it looks fantastic, if it were solid gold and rolex put it out just like that I would buy it. The plating crap, it's just crap

Speed · 14 October 2014, 04:26 AM

Bamford must love TRF promos ;-)

This is almost as "interesting" as their PVD of a Skydweller.

pigman08 · 14 October 2014, 04:27 AM

Umm... No.

landroverking · 14 October 2014, 04:29 AM

Looks cool, but fashion over function.

Daytona4130 · 14 October 2014, 04:47 AM

if it were 18k solid-- it would be pretty cool

Not a fan of mods in general, but I would like to see Rolex offer a TT and solid gold Exp 2 someday.

franzy · 14 October 2014, 05:07 AM

If someone saw it in the wild they would ask, "is that a fake Rolex". Bamford should not be allowed to turn beautiful Rolex watches in Frankensteins.

JohnBaker3 · 14 October 2014, 05:40 AM

It looks like Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington (RIP) decided to hot rod a Rolex....

Gives new meaning to the term "You've been overhauled"....

Disturbing, and yet interesting, at the same time!

Vivalas · 14 October 2014, 05:42 AM

Not my cup of tea.

wantonebad · 14 October 2014, 05:44 AM

For the love of humanity! How can I un-see this, immediately!!

vitalsignsrn · 14 October 2014, 05:46 AM

I kind of like it. I keep looking at it like I'm not supposed to be.

Rashid.bk · 14 October 2014, 06:13 AM

I like it but not in that gold PVD. This is one case if they had just done exactly this but black PVD it would work, but of course if everything is right they'll throw in some wazoo move like a T-Rex dial with little t-rex hands for hours and minutes. Get a clue guys, goodness gracious.

Vivalas · 14 October 2014, 06:18 AM

Has anyone had any experience of selling a customised Rolex on? It would be a concern that if I bought one and wanted to move it on I couldn't

Psmith · 14 October 2014, 06:22 AM

I quite like their 'reverse polar' ...

Yeah, that one is cool. But I'm not into that gold monstrosity.

Yes, I have. I PX'd my customised sub for a Blancpain FF. The store I did this with told me that they had so many enquiries about it that they could have sold half a dozen of them.

On the subject of the "Element 79" - it's not my cup of tea but if you like it then buy it.

SWISSAHOLICS · 14 October 2014, 06:24 AM

I will most definitely have to pass on this one.
