I know straying too far from the basic Rolex designs aren't too popular on this forum, but I was just wondering if anyone else thinks this customized Explorer looks cool?? Would anyone be interested if Rolex offered this DLC coating directly?

HL65 · 23 July 2013, 09:55 AM

Sorry can't say I like or would but to each his own.

I think it looks cool in the pic but I wouldn't wear it.If you like it that's all that matters it's definitely different.

busytimmy · 23 July 2013, 10:18 AM

lol, no

GlideLockHeadLock · 23 July 2013, 10:25 AM

looks too much like a older Oyster precision. Just too plain for me. Im sure it would look better in person but i think you could find much better

porschejeff · 23 July 2013, 10:33 AM

Sorry not for me.

JCW1980 · 23 July 2013, 10:48 AM

Seems to me that PVD generally looks better on larger watches. Seems odd looking on the Exp I, IMHO.

superdog · 23 July 2013, 10:49 AM

Absolute love.

nick c · 23 July 2013, 10:51 AM

I will pass

mfer · 23 July 2013, 10:52 AM

It's ok but not my thing on a Rolex. I wouldn't PVD the bracelet. To easy to scratch. Think it would look better on a nato and PVD....but I think I'll be keeping mine stock....except on a nato.

ecsub44 · 23 July 2013, 10:54 AM

I like the look. But I'd never own one. I've not seen proof that the coating holds up over time.

c.rod · 23 July 2013, 11:05 AM

i like the black look on certain watches. that being said. not that one.

also. there are a lot of rolex "die hards" that would think it was the best thing since sliced bread if rolex produced a black watch them selves. FACT.

rodrob59 · 23 July 2013, 11:30 AM

Sorry, no.

cop414 · 23 July 2013, 12:09 PM

Looks "interesting" but not my cup of tea.

kilyung · 23 July 2013, 12:15 PM

No, non, nein, nyet, ...

kieselguhr · 23 July 2013, 12:22 PM

I wouldn't, even if it was stock from Rolex.
Not a fan of black.
Though I think I know a friend or two who would dig the blacked out look.

Thebiglagu · 23 July 2013, 01:03 PM

If it was meant to be black Rolex would have made it that way! Just my opinion.
