Sad news!!!
I have sad news to give you fellas.
I don't like to be the bearer of bad news however it appears the rumours are in fact true. I looked on their website and I can confirm they no longer deal with Rolex. https://www.bamfordwatchdepartment.com/?page_id=2552 |

Looks like they are dealing with Zenith and Bvlgari.

Dang, and I was looking to ruin some perfectly beautiful Rolex references... Hehe sorry I just couldn't find any I liked. Hope they made some good decisions.

Bamford watches are ugly as. They turn a beautiful Rolex into something that is hideous.
Its kind of good they cant destroy anymore watches. |

The folks who like them really like them. Same reason we don't all drive black Fords.

I'm not devastated, and I really don't care all that much. But I'm very very surprised.

i will sleep just fine tonight.... as i wont give it a second thought
Not really partial to modified Rolexs let alone ones that they cover in DLC and double the price of a normal one.. in turn making it look like a $400 generic watch...........

I thought some of the Bamfords were beautiful, but they are in essence Frankenwatches and I can't imagine having something like this. For those who care, there is a company called Blaken which still does the same thing with Rolexes.

Not sad, their designs did not appeal to me at all. I like Tempus Machina way more than Bamford.

Thank God.
I am not against customized watches, but Bamfords are just plain ugly! |

I didn't mind their finishes. Would never own one but they were cool to look at.

I don't like their designs particularly, but being glad other people can't get a customized watch they like is not good news no matter what your personal tastes are.
Less choice is never good.
