That's just awful looking. Ya know, aside from how bad it looks and that devaluation, how long does one expect that finish to stay in place? I would think it'll start wearing off and shining thru due to oils in the skin and abrasions from other objects. Just looks like a good way to throw away 10k.....

Send Bamford pics and see if they will own up to it.

I've been a lot of terrible Rolex renditions, if this turns out to be real it may be the worst yet.

Not a watch from the Bamford catalogue or configurator, and as much as I hate what Bamford do to their watches, they do at least normally have a bit more taste and are finished far better

It's certainly tasteless enough to be a Bamford

Curious, has anyone ever seen a legit one in the wild?
Can't phantom doing that to such a beautiful watch as any Rolex.

Not the wild, but I believe Conan Obrian has a Bamford Milgauss he wears on occasion. I like some of their work, but it's definitely a niche market.
