Customized Rolex Services

Has anyone out there every purchased a Rolex from one of the aftermarket customization companies? Was offered one that was made by Artisans De Genève. The piece looks amazing, but it isn't cheap.

I'd be curious to hear everyone's thoughts on pieces from Artisans, or Titan Black or any of the others.

yuck. Goodluck getting them serviced at RSC. Those are all a hard pass for me. The premium isn't worth it imo

The amount of work they do is impressive. That they choose Rolex is a testament to the brand’s honored standing.

Are you being offered a bespoke version or one of the standard projects?

Well, obviously you would instead take it to one of the excellent third-party watchmakers regularly recommended by this forum.

Artisans de Genève makes cool stuff. If they had something I really liked, and I could actually afford it, I'd consider it. I mean, it would never be my first Rolex, or probably my second or my third, but I could easily imagine a place in a larger collection for some of their more fun pieces.

*edit*
I mean, if money were no object, I'd happily wear this over a BB58:
