Why don't Rolex make 904L Stainless Steel watches in BLACK – i.e. a version made direct from the factory in Geneva? As opposed to aftermarket versions offered from companies such as Bamford in London etc.

Don’t get me wrong the aftermarket versions in DLC or PVD coated Black are superb… but I can’t help but think people would be more likely to buy them in Black if you were to see them advertised in the Rolex catalogue

I personally would buy one, but don’t really like the idea of an aftermarket version that has been customised by another company and therefore in my mind not original! Maybe I am old-fashioned, but would rather one direct from Rolex.

I have seen a Submariner coated in all black and… WOW!!! I think it would be a big hit at Basel 2014! If the steel was all black and not coated it would not scratch as much as well or you could make one like the ceramic bezel material but just solid black - would not be cheap like any Rolex I know - BUT what do you think guys?
