Not my cup of tea

SWISSAHOLICS · 14 October 2014, 06:24 AM

I will most definitely have to pass on this one.

luvsub · 14 October 2014, 06:39 AM

Good try.

bdex75 · 14 October 2014, 06:43 AM

I would never own it....period. When I see Bamford it is kind of like a link to a train wreck video. You know the result and can't help but click in the link. But there are some pretty well known watch companies that are now starting to warranty the PVD coating for life. Shinola is one of them.

Given their long history with Bamford, I would be surprised if RSC would not provide service. Clearly they are not secretive about it - and purchase a fair number of them every year.

Just curious if anyone knows for sure.

Looks like a spray job. If its 18k, thats different.

What history? I'm not aware of any. I somehow doubt Bamford even purchases these watches directly from Rolex. They sure don't come with a Rolex warranty.

Well if it were solid gold offered by Rolex I'd like it (providing they did some polishing) as is, no way.

Fugly

jctrolex · 14 October 2014, 07:11 AM

You might as well buy an Invicta or Fossil when you do that to a Rolex.

If Bamford was the AMG of Rolex it would sell big.

Matt C · 14 October 2014, 08:27 AM

Well it's something different and I'm sure there is a market. I was watching Conan the other night and noticed he was wearing a PVD Milgauss. Everyone has there tastes and that's what makes the world go round. Bamford has been around for quite some time now making custom Rolex, some are ok and some are just awful like this Exp. I am not a fan.

Someone put this man in prison for his crimes against humanity.

Horrific. Truly awful.

Absolutely, positively, without a doubt......NO.

Nycturbovr6 · 14 October 2014, 10:52 AM

Not for me

Jack T · 14 October 2014, 10:58 AM

No thanks. And to think you'd have to pay extra for that treatment.

Rogdogg · 14 October 2014, 10:58 AM

It's not for me, however, I do prefer it to the awful black designs they come up with

BomB#Frog · 14 October 2014, 11:39 AM

i dont think its THAT awful......But ill stick with the snoopy.

Wesley Crusher · 14 October 2014, 12:09 PM

Watches like this make no sense to me, but hey, I'm not the type of person that they're targeting. Bamford has its fans, no doubt.

joejoe1225 · 14 October 2014, 12:14 PM

No good.

2Redbulls · 14 October 2014, 02:55 PM

What is wrong with me....I like the watch without the crown guards and the domed crystal. I normally hate hacked watches and the gold and hands are throwing me off but removing the crown guards and a domed crystal is singing to me....

Jlsd · 14 October 2014, 02:58 PM

I have mixed feelings about modifications, but if I was going to get a modified explorer II it would be this one. If it has the car to match, well even better

Yes, I have. I PX'd my customised sub for a Blancpain FF. The store I did this with told me that they had so many enquiries about it that they could have sold half a dozen of them.

On the subject of the "Element 79" - it's not my cup of tea but if you like it then buy it.
