I don't hate on these companies, but I just don't get it. This one in particular I happen to very much dislike lol. But Artisans De Geneve do amazing work IMO. Still though, I'd never spend the money on what is basically a completely different watch which the Rolex name it. It's pointless to me. I'd rather just buy from a brand that makes original watches with original designs that look similar.

I hear what you are saying but... Rolex doesn't make carbon watches but do make one hell of a movement, if you actually use your watches.

I like these. Whether I’d spend £40k on one, I’m not sure, but I’m tempted. Although, not this particular one, they do much better looking models in my view

I like the look of some of these customs (or whatever they're called), but would never buy one. It's odd to me that people think they're still a Rolex.

In regards to this one...its terrible!

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they never stopped to think if they should.

The Panerai Carbotechs are pretty cool. This is just...

It has an RM vibe to it. I like unique watches. I'm a hell yes.

Looks like an ugly cross between Rolex + Richard Mille...seems like you get the worst of both worlds IMO.

Of all the modified players out there, I think La Californienne does it the best. Stays fairly true to the Rolex design ethos while offering a bit more personality.
