I'd pass. If I wanted a blackout watch, I'd get a Omega DSOTM.

X2. It wouldn't take long before the watch was two-tone.

I think it looks good, but that is because the Daytona is a good-looking watch.
However - is there any black material apart from ceramic (think Rado) that isn't going to wear-off in different spots with use?

2106 · 25 April 2015, 01:59 PM

Not as your only rolex. Possibly as a third or fourth rolex.

Tridor · 25 April 2015, 02:38 PM

Awful!

Not my cup of tea personally but I can see how some of these customised models have a place.

I'd be interesting to know if anyone here has owned one and sold it . . . . . And was it easy to sell? It's a limited market anyway and to sell on might be tough. Can't recall anyone on here or any other forums anyone posting that they actually own one

regnant · 26 April 2015, 07:06 PM

Not for me either

padi56 · 26 April 2015, 08:00 PM

Nope.

jack81 · 26 April 2015, 10:02 PM

Nice but i always stick to what rolex says.

dmce · 26 April 2015, 10:24 PM

No, sir.

KBM · 27 April 2015, 12:38 AM

If you had a large daytona collection, I could see that fitting in, but not for me as tour only daytona.

Chadridv · 27 April 2015, 12:41 AM

I like it. I wouldn't spend the money it. Also, the image looks like a rendering not a real watch, so kind of hard to officially weigh in.

ernie2 · 27 April 2015, 12:42 AM

it kick ass.

havingagoodtime · 16 May 2015, 03:11 PM

The more modified Daytona's there are, the more my unmolested 116520 increases in value

It's not for me, but I can appreciate the customization.

gonjgrf · 16 May 2015, 03:12 PM

Not original from factory but nice looking. Buy/wear what you like.

What I was going to say! I really like the Omega DSOTM until I saw it in real life - it looked very flat and dead. I would say this watch would risk that also.

brettpaul · 16 May 2015, 06:31 PM

I prefer factory PVD or DLC which takes Rolex out of the running. That being said if my watch-well was deep enough I'd likely pick up a couple pieces from Bamford once I had every factory piece I wanted from Rolex.

The Daytona above is okay but Bamford has more interesting colors and also dies custom work - IMHO PVD looks better on the Rolex divers.

Racerdj · 16 May 2015, 09:24 PM

Not my taste.

Suprachiasmatic77 · 16 May 2015, 09:56 PM

Anyone else notice the spelling of "superlativ" without the final E on the dial?

If you go for it, make sure that doesn't happen on the final product...

Personally prefer my unmodified black Daytona-

VinnieVegas · 16 May 2015, 10:03 PM

Not my taste, either.

yessir69 · 16 May 2015, 10:35 PM

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Mgsm · 17 May 2015, 02:14 AM

Rolex has hundreds of professionals looking at designs. Research, tested and surveyed.
Why go and modify it?
If we do not like the current daytona (which is possible), just passed.
Strictly NO.
For any branded goods.

jernigan78 · 17 May 2015, 02:56 AM

First scratch throught the DLC and itll look cheap. Try flipping it after that. Looks cool but I dont see any longevity in the coating. I can agree with some mods that people do, but this is over the top for me. My 2 cents.

1995akcoop · 17 May 2015, 03:44 AM

nice but not practical....... love the look but not sure how the black coating will hold up
