IMHO no its not. There is millions of subs out there. IMHO no different than someone customizing their car. I'm not a fan but who am I to say what someone does to their watch. I would own one if I had millions of dollars.

If it were some super rare Rolex then yes but it's just a modern Rolex that's not rare or collectable.

Yup, I wouldn't buy it, but who am I to tell someone else what to do with their belongings.

Not my cup of tea but I wouldn't say it's murder, different strokes for different folks, that's all.

It's not something I would wear or do to a watch, but if someone wants to do that to their own watch... whatever floats their boat.

I don't like it, but I wouldn't equate it with murder. I know you're joking. But I lost a very close friend to a brutal and to this day unsolved murder, so I am a little sensitive.

Its called murdered out... But Im no fan of it. Ive meet a guy that had one cerakoated desert tan only because he loves rolex and he wanted to wear one without the reflection of the bling bling out side the wire on deployment. It looked very good, but just weird to see a sub in desert tan.

Okay....so it's not 'murder', but I would plea to 'aggrevated battery' with a suspended sentence!!!

I have seen a lovely DLC YM from the 2010 Brioni Winter Polo Championships in St. Moritz and am in love with it!!
