this is my brother's bespoke Project-X Design matt black deepsea with orange second hand...

I personally am not crazy about it, but he seem to like it.

MonBK · 2 December 2010, 07:35 AM

As long as he likes it.

Lol-x · 2 December 2010, 07:36 AM

I like the orange second hand, nice contrast, but not such a fan of the black-out case & bracelet.

Rolex stainless steel doesn't need to be covered up, it's one of the best stainlesses in the world

Do you guys remember Jaffas, they were small round lollies with an orange flavour on the outside and chocolate on the inside. Orange and chocolate

Joey_V · 2 December 2010, 07:37 AM

Looks different and cool, me likey.

Rolesor · 2 December 2010, 07:42 AM

the orange sparks my interest in the new Expy II - I like that part of it!

Mr. Greene · 2 December 2010, 07:44 AM

I'm not crazy about the black case but I do like the contrast of the second hand. I would like to get a no date sub with red second hand, I think that would be cool

Joey_V · 2 December 2010, 07:47 AM

Ah I get it now, I know why I like the orange second hand on the DS-X. It's because it reminds me of the GV's orange lightning bolt second hand!

EchoBlueUK · 2 December 2010, 07:49 AM

Not for me but enjoy.

RLXSTR · 2 December 2010, 07:51 AM

Orange

Black-out

Dr. Robert · 2 December 2010, 08:57 AM

Yup.

What that guy said......

Slick69 · 2 December 2010, 09:13 AM

I like the blacked out look.

Jason71 · 2 December 2010, 12:08 PM

Of course I would like it.......But then I like mods. One thing that I noticed of interest is what they did to the engraved rehaut. Looks much better IMHO. Don't have to read that ringlock junk

Lol-x · 2 December 2010, 12:13 PM

I'll go along with that the blacked-out lockring is cool

Speed · 2 December 2010, 12:18 PM

Singslinger · 2 December 2010, 01:28 PM

Bill - obviously not a fan!

Me - it's OK but I wouldn't do it myself. Too much of a fan of the traditonal look.

Frogman4me · 2 December 2010, 01:31 PM

FAIL imo but to each his own

darthmouse · 2 December 2010, 01:34 PM

I would prefer red to orange for the second hand, but it sure does pop.

I agree that the blacked out ring looks good!

Can't say much for the black case/bracelet, but that's personal preference.

renfield33 · 2 December 2010, 01:55 PM

i prefer it stock.

Hank G · 2 December 2010, 02:12 PM

I like it!!

axecollector65 · 3 December 2010, 03:39 AM

In defense of my bro I could see people blackening SS if they have too many SS Rolexes and want some variety to your collection. My bro falls into this category just like the daytona I saw on this forum that was blackened. I believe he had a hell of a Rolex collection which include 2 black dial daytona.

JJL · 3 December 2010, 03:57 AM

Great looking watch IMO! I love the blackout look on the Sub and the orange hand is a great color combo.

psv · 3 December 2010, 04:17 AM

Whatever floats his boat. At least it is not leopard and diamonds...

nyyankees · 3 December 2010, 05:44 AM

Whoa, ooph

BarkMaster · 3 December 2010, 12:03 PM

I like the black-out look!

I think my next watch will be one, but I think I'll opt for one that comes that way.

mjm800 · 3 December 2010, 12:51 PM

I hate it on so many levels but it's his watch he can do with it as he likes.

cody p · 3 December 2010, 12:53 PM

bespoke? not really. more like aftermarket modification.
