I always admired that when I see an old rolex that it showed some class and history and that the wearer knew his watches.. yet now you can get a super rare Paul Newman for 24,000£ brand new!

This is just wrong!

I am mixed on these:

I hate the idea of "breaking" the "real" thing

I love what artists can do with 'conservative' 'real' things when given the freedom:

I don't see the problem. This does nothing to the vintage watches.

Ragna · 30 August 2016, 06:37 AM

Yup !

But its not like its the true Paul Newman.

Bamfords are... how can i say.. a very.. very debatable subject.

doesnt do anything for me, I'd rather have the real thing. And I don't like bamford on the dial

This kinda thing has been going on for a long time, it's nothing new. Now, if it were Bamford modifying vintage watches, then it would be another story. This is still them, taking new watches, and changing them up.
