Well
Seeing as you ask to hear what people think, I don't like it at all. I have nothing against moding a Rolex, I don't like PVD. Hoping that you enjoy wearing it for a long time.

Neat! Didn't you say that you wanted to leave the caseback and bracelet alone? They look coated to me. Another thing that may look sharp would be to swap out your second hand for a red YM second hand!

That looks AWESOME. i wish that I owned another sub to make some alterations. Maybe I'll spring for a 14060 1 day and do the same. You are truly living up to your name. Well done

Since the watch head was pvd, why have a steel bracelet? So I got it done, but as for the case back, I decided later on even tho it made sense to leave it in steel, I didn't want any silver showing so just had him coat that as well, to be honest, I will prob never use the bracelet as I love this watch too much on the NATO. Down the road I can always get the watch re coated after years of wear an it will look like new

Nice! I would do the same to my LV if I had the dough for it, and enough to buy myself another Rolex, a Daytona perhaps or the Sub C.

It does look good, but it is not my cup of tea. As long as it makes you happy then it is cool.

A very special Rolex, no doubt. I do not like PVD that much, but I like the removal of crown guards. I also like the fact that you did it because you wanted to.
Best, A |

I have to give props as well.
Even though I would never spend thousand on a watch and then spend thousands more to make it PVD thus making the watch unserviceable by Rolex I have to say my hats off to you, that sir was a gutsy move.

Honestly, there are very few mods that I like. However, I think you nailed this one - it looks great.

wow. that's a big step, or steps....I am a fan of PVD watches, but I don't know if I could do it to my Rolexes, maybe a sub style watch by another maker. Just curious though, you said you were going for the vintage look like James Bond, but why then did you opt for PVD instead of just removing the crown guards? I feel like the stainless would have retained that vintage look you were after.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I'm much enjoying the watch today. Walking into my ad to pick up a repair And got some attention. No one knew what to make of it. I must say it was funny

What happens when you want Rolex to service your watch?

I'll never ever understand why people get so precious about this. It's your watch, your money and for what it's worth I think it looks absolutely awesome.

If I saw this I would think someone was wearing a horrible fake Rolex.
But if you like it and enjoy, that's all that matters! |
