Rolex Pro Hunter

Hi, Kinda new on this forum, but learning so much from the knowledge you all have. For this, I thank each one of you!

Now, I have a question about the Pro Hunter Rolex Models. What do you guys think of this line. Worth the extra money? The Daytona look awesome, but then again it takes away from the classy look of this model. I know there is a time and place for each model! I believe that RSC will NOT work on this line? Would they just do the 5 year service or would it have to be sent to London?

I love the New Pro Hunter Maxi Dial Submariner on Bracelet. I think the all Black wouldn't do well for an everyday watch. I like the classic look of the 16613, but the black would hold it own. Any thought would be great! Thanks in advance for your input!

How can I put this to you gently?

I got it, here you go: If you GIVE it to me I'll sue you.

Above statement is of course my personal (not humble) opinion.

I understand. That's what I wanted was opinions. Good and Bad! I wasn't thinking of buy one as this is what I thought, but wanted to know how all of you feel about this line. I guess the standing among the Rolex community. Even though they are a really model are they looked on as fakes?

Please don't sue me!! It's just a question!

Pro Hunter watches are not a Rolex line, they are Pro Hunter modified watches from different manufactures, including Rolex...

Rolex will NOT work on one at all, you will need to find your own watchmaker..

As for if they are worth the extra money, only you can make that decision.....

If you love it, it's worth the money.

Keep a Sharpie on hand to touch up the scratches that will expose the stainless steel underneath :-)

Anyone who has modified a Rolex, has ruined it (including those who put it on straps.......OUCH!!!!)

Like touching a snowflake ... it is beautiful and perfect until you touch it and that destroys it ....
A Rolex is like a snowflake ....
