Run! It can never be serviced by Rolex amd that black coating will wear off.

What are you looking to verify. A simple search results shows they made this in the past - https://hypebeast.com/2016/10/bamfor...ariner-deepsea.

Or you can always contact Bamford directly if you have questions.

Awful.

“Military grade” is just a joke. It means nothing and is your clear indication the product you are looking at is fugazi.

Terrible. Nothing Rolex about this. Could have a generic for $250.

Run away, screaming. Assuming this started as a Rolex, it is so heavily modded that there is lots of value out the window. If you are looking for a watch with this type of look, go with another brand.

This is a ruined watch, and it doesn’t matter how few of them exist, one is too many.

I went through the pita of resizing this image of the only modded Rolex I've ever dropped my jaw for. This is a ProHunter LE from many years ago that I obsessed with. Carbon fiber bezel, DLC, sword hands, no date and fixed spring bars.
I still keep an eye out for until this day.

All these ‘professionally modded’ Rolex watches are god-awful. Mr. Bamford now has a garage full of supercars - plenty of dopes ready to help him buy more.

Definitely military grade. You can only read the time with night vision goggles.

Real or not that thing is so ugly. You can't even tell the time. I'd just stick with original Rolex and avoid anything bamford

Nothing is possible regarding the watch - so IMHO that CL guy can’t be serious.
