custom rolex

Ok so I just drove past a Range Rover Overfinch (Lovely) Now nowhere on the car was the word Range Rover we all know its a Ranger but the only word on the whole car was Overfinch...Now my point is, if a brand is strong enough to take an already great brand and make it their"s but better. Why can't Bamford et al do the same ...If their designs are so good why don't they stand on their own rather than parasitically living off the Rolex name.... Individuality is great but be an individual ....."O Yar its a Bamford" not Bamford Rolex

More people would be able to tell a range rover is a range rover without the badges

than a rolex without the rolex logo that's been heavily modified

also as bamford/titanblack etc do custom pieces im sure the option to have the rolex logo removed is available

Because Rolex does it best. When Overfinch modifies, they do 'value added' modifications such as more luxury, more aggressive design. People will still recognize a bamford Rolex as a Rolex.. But their modifications molest the purity of the watch.
Now I really don't understand what you're trying to say: you think Overfinch can do this and you're wondering why Bamford gets flak, and then go onto say that they should make their own watches? Does Overfinch make their own cars?

I would personally never buy an Overfinch Range Rover any more than a Bamford Rolex.

For me modifications have to be in tune with the original design I love the OEM plus look
