Don't take it personally Velitsko, obviously if we do have any pro-hunter owners they're too scared to come out in the open LOL

Yeah, what's up with that? John Mayer has a bundle of Prohunters and I am sure he is a member here,

I thought for sure Bill C. would join in even if Mayer didn't. Of course he may be tied up with his "extracuricular activities" now that Hillary is moving into her new job with heavy travel requirements.

it cant be scratch resistant, i've seen a Pro-hunter with some light scratches btw and looks quite bad... i felt so sorry for the watch and the owner too...
so, i should keep it like a treasure! Hehe!
and i dont think that i am the only one here who owns one, for sure some members-collectors just want their privacy, as about me, i want to share it...
cheers!

Thanks Velitsko i checked it earlier today and got mixed feelings about it! It is beautiful without a doubt, but i think i prefer the original looks! So i guess that this company buys 100-1000 pieces and mods them right?

The hell? I've never heard of this collection before quite intriguing... I have a PVD TX and I love it but spending that much for a modded Rolex.... HHmmm not sure I would.

UK based magazine "Stuff" is advertising Bamford SS Daytona's as an essential buy. Limited run of 100 priced at £15,000 each !!!! What's with that ???

Hi Velitsko, I think the Pro Hunter looks stunning. As for the PVD being scratch resitant I would doubt it as it is a "coating" so perhaps this is why we are not seeing many of them. At least with SS you can just polish it away. To many scratches on the PVD would just look terrible I think.

Nothing beats SS for everyday use IMO

I agree it looks good, but why the flipping insane premium. You can do this yourself for much much much less!
