One of the worst mods ever?

I stumbled across this poor picture while searching through some Daytona pictures. This has to be up there with one of the worst mods ever

You may be right I just searched for custom white Daytona, very bad. While searching there are a lot of plc black covered Daytonas. Would anyone like to see Rolex create a black plc watch or even a titanium watch? Most other brands do a titanium watch and I do quite like the look, wouldn't mind seeing Rolex introduce a titanium model

Significantly cheapened the look but there's worse. 'Enjoy' your search...

If rolex made this model, I'd bet there would be high demand for it. Then again if Rolex made the model attention to detail would be much better too.

based on a quick google search for this watch, I found it for sale for like $15k.... no thank you.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post the FS ad from the business, but if you look up limited watches inc. you'll find it and some other "interesting" modded Daytonas

That offends my sensibilities. Just imagine the shame of owning it.
