Only if it was done to my watch. Otherwise, its someone else's property - I guess they can do what they want. ....

One day a similar option may be offered by Rolex if there's high enough demand. When we spearfished eons ago in FLA, many subs were put on black rubber straps. So the look isn't alien except for the case.

Just had a really filling burrito. Looking at that watch is making it not "settle" good.

It's just another variant in the grand scheme of modifications, but I wouldn't want it done to my watch.

I don't understand why people are saying it's not worth the money because it looks like a cheap watch. No one here bought their rolex because of how it looked. They bought it because of the company and how it was made. If you were looking for a submariner you could have spent $100 and gotten the exact same "looking" watch.

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