For Those Who Like The Unusual....

I normally don’t like heavily modified watches but this one I kind of like. Wearable Rolex art.

I love it, but I would never do that to one of my watches.

I'm quite sure that the piece will sell for far beyond my budget.

Yes aftermarket etching. I’m guessing this is done with a laser of some kind.

I don't know if it's the same guy, but this guy does it all by hand. It's not really my cup of tea, but it's pretty impressive.

Undoubtedly a gift from a Russian oligarch to his footman Boris.

I would literally pay cash to see someone walk into the RSC and ask for a service. They will bounce you out of there so quickly it will make your head spin.
