I like the black finish with a red dial. I would have the dial marked Rolex for ShopNBC, LOL.

Actually a cool idea, why doesn't Rolex do something like this from the factory.

Hmm, you have to pay a couple of thousand quid over list price to get a watch that would be virtually worthless when you came to sell it. Sounds like a poor investment. Would Rolex even accept them for servicing? I can see no end to the issues involved with owning a watch like that :/

I've always wanted a yellow dial Sub. I would think the RSC would refuse to service this and would probably confiscate the watch as a fake. Nice to see options.

I think it is a pretty cool concept. Don't think I would do it... Unless I found a long lost pile of money - it is pretty cool though..

Made an all black ROLEX, looked nice, but I don't think I 'd ever buy this one. It didn't look as a ROLEX, looked like another sports watch trying to immitate ROLEX...

I like it, very cool. The only thing that would make me buy it is if it has some kind of value down the road. Not to make money but at least to be able to sell for a normal ammount... That and service from Rolex.
