I love Subs but I would not buy this one.

1William · 27 October 2023, 09:27 PM

Not for me.

Big Tex Rolex · 27 October 2023, 09:39 PM

No, but thank you for asking.

It just looks like an Explorer to me.

The watch is a beauty, and I don't often say that about Rolex sports models.

While not for me, this would cause utter chaos at ADs, and the grey market for it would hit the stratosphere!

Just not seeing the attraction of this - not for me, but no doubt some will like it.

Yeah, and you see what that got them…..

travisb · 28 October 2023, 12:18 AM

No thanks..

Dom9 · 28 October 2023, 03:35 AM

That bezel insert is awful and I think a white date wheel would have been better but it's an interesting concept. Not for me!

Sick Mother · 28 October 2023, 04:26 AM

What offense did the stormtroopers commit to deserve being mentioned alongside this watch? Ouch.

This.

Nana7 · 28 October 2023, 05:09 AM

I wouldn't buy it but a white ceramic bezel looks strangely appealing and I'm curious to see how one would look on other models.

hojlund · 28 October 2023, 05:23 AM

disaster!

Loevhagen · 28 October 2023, 07:04 AM

Looks like monstrosity.

The Stormtroopers weren't the problem.
It was the management

Giovannibravo · 28 October 2023, 10:26 AM

I've always found that white ceramic looks cheap.

TimeAZ · 28 October 2023, 10:29 AM

I love white dial Rolexes, but not like this... *whispers* not like this...

DLRIDES · 28 October 2023, 11:16 AM

Would be acceptable with a black bezel, ………….. for $3k max.

I would not take this piece up because it is not very appealing. Too much texts/font on the dial.

2loaded · 28 October 2023, 02:50 PM

Ghastly

Completely agree. The black background on the date wheel makes the dial feel unbalanced.

Hard pass

I totally agree.

The madness would be absolute. Many of those who today show disdain at a custom aberration of a purist's icon would be rushing to express how it is "slowly growing into them" and admiration for the "stroke of genius".

My 2 cents.

Harry-57 · 28 October 2023, 07:40 PM

I like some of the things you can (or could in this case) do to a Bamford modded watch, albeit at a price, but that one is well wide of my mark. Apart from the prices, the thing that put me off was the need for it to go back to Bamford for servicing and repair - or so they told me when I enquired. I have a couple of their London GMTs, which are very nice watches at their price point and are also customisable.
