Thoughts on custom Bamford's
I would definitely say these watches are not for the vintage crowd whatsoever. They are for the more modern crowd that is looking for something more distinct and or different. Let me know your honest thoughts on these pieces, I myself think they are quite nice and I absolutely adore the color combinations.

I can see the attraction of wanting something no one else has, nor ever will, but am yet to see one I'd wear...

I tried to like them.... I couldn't. The black and bright color makes them look like casio g-shocks.

Vibrant but not for me.

Some remind me of the Tudor Black Shield, others are more strange. Some I actually like, but I would not pay Rolex prices for them.

Not really for me, but if I had silly money I'd probably have one or two just because...

I kind of like the black/orange Exp II as a fun (albeit expensive fun) piece

I like alot of the DLC/PVD coatings to be honest but not when they touch the dials.

I really dislike them. I have never liked the pvd black Rolex and I just think these Bramford watches are ruining a wonderful time piece.

I actually think some of them look cool, but there's so many watches that you can pick up for 1/10th price that look like these. I wouldn't do this to a Rolex...complete waste.

Funnily enough it makes the watch look like something cheaper than more impressive...certainly would never get one.

To each his own, but not my particular taste. I love that classic look of rolex. I wouldn't even go as far as adding diamonds to be honest.

They're not for me but if somebody wants to pay over the top for them then that's their choice.

Those models are a waist of money and ugly as hell.
