If I understand correctly, this is a cover that you put over your Datejust for a different look.

To me it's a travesty, but if you like it and it's easily reversible (like removing the Jubilee bracelet and putting it on a nice leather strap), then why not?

By the way, as a watch cover, this thing strikes me as absolutely HIDEOUS. Now, I realize that aesthetic taste absolutely does and should vary between individuals, but seriously now... (Somebody please pinch me hard and tell me to get back into line if needed...) Seriously, does anybody here find this to be a beautiful enhancement? Put differently, in an imaginary focus group of 100 TRF members, what percentage would find this desirable (and I realize I'm asking for an imaginary estimation)? Please chime in here, because this strikes me as just plum crazy, lol.

It looks like a wad of steel wool is giving birth to a DJ

That was my point in posting the link: on what planet is this a good idea? I'm all for reversible mods, I'm guilty of more than a few myself BUT why, for the love of all that's holy, WHY?
