Kinda cool. But certainly wouldn’t pay over Rolex MSRP on a Sub for it

this, but maybe with white wheel and black #'s for the date as someone else mentioned. The waitlists would be long, the markups would be crazy, if, it was oem.

then someone will nick name it the sub-zero

If that was an actual Rolex product, it would probably be selling for 3x MSRP and selling like hotcakes just on the basis of it being different.

Not a fan and agree that the Ex2 polar is a much better option.

I mean, if I was a white Oakley Gascan & face tatts kinda guy then it would probably work. Although it looks like my 6-year-old kid did the numbers on the bezel there. Could use work 3/10.

If something happens (Movement loses time; Drop it and crack the crystal, etc.) what will the RSC say?

This one looks like one of that cheap watches - Sector or Citizen that cost around 100 dollars.

The white bezel and the black date wheel look terrible IMO. I don’t hate the idea of a white dial Sub, but Bamford always know how to take things just over the top into “hideously awful” territory.

Why? It’s not fake, nor is it attempting to fool anyone.

Custom dial clearly says Bamford.

It’s just a major ghost heavily modded.

The buyer can’t get service at RSC since it isn’t a Rolex any longer. The owner of a Bamford should already know that.
