Saw this watch on ebay and wondered do they really make an all black rolex?

The watch has been DLC treated......It was not done by Rolex!!

toph · 6 September 2011, 11:32 AM

no, rolex dont make it there are a few companies who specify in this treatment to rolex. but rolex will not honour warranty or service it in that condition.

It was left in the sun too long without sunblock.... Happens.

Looks good, I don't think I'd spend 5k though

Dr. Robert · 6 September 2011, 02:57 PM

I wonder how the quality of the DLC is??????

gwalker · 6 September 2011, 03:22 PM

I have seen one that was treated 3 years ago. It still looked great, no scratches or anything and it was a dialy wearer. I forget who he said did it but it was one of the more expensive companies that he told me. He said he shopped around and paid premium. I think that stuff is pretty tough but not for me. I'll stick with my SS watches. Buy it, it might turn out to be a 18k gold watch under there. LOL J/K

Most people who have had it done on their watches give positive reviews as far as I know. I would buy a DLC Rolex only if it was done at the factory.

SWIMPRUF · 6 September 2011, 09:28 PM

Modified. I hope Rolex would produce one.

xjeeunitx · 6 September 2011, 09:43 PM

I think they did a horrible PAINT job with that watch. I wouldn't do it to any of my watches. It makes it look like a toy and less of a Rolex.

GradyPhilpott · 7 September 2011, 12:16 AM

I wouldn't touch that watch.

No box or papers!

I think the DLC treatment is interesting but not enough to pay the premium for the procedure!!!
