I have seen them and they look very nice, very professional. They are also doing a ceramic model this year.

I am pretty sure what Frostie posted is not a Pro Hunter...

They are satisfying a niche market for styling modifications to Rolex watches at a premium price.

The car modding scene is huge. I like my watches and cars factory spec.

Welcome to TRF!

The newest Prohunter has just been presented on bjsonline.com

As stated, not everyone's cuppy, but to each his own.

I think it would be more realistically called the Pro-Hunter Rolex series, as Rolex has no part of them..

Rolex will also NOT service a Pro-Hunter watch..

Not only will Rolex not service them but if an AD or approved watchmaker are found to be working on one they potentially could be stripped of their ability to get parts and or sell Rolex watches.
Rolex DOES NOT APPROVE!

Yep, I was reluctant to view when the wife was in the room. A rather disappointing sight to say the least.

Some do like the Pro Hunter. I don't.
I don't think Frosties pix was a Pro Hunter as the quality looked poor - more likely photoshopped IMO.

such a great item, i recently got the chance to try one on from my seller who had 3, they are a beaut, you will barely ever see an other person wearing one, a watch collector will know what you are wearing, and you will without a doubt stand out. they seem great for a polo/ tshirt kind of day. if you are interested i think my seller might still have 2, i know he has a sub, he might have an other GMT apart from his personal collection. here is his site www.exoticwatches.net

hope that can help

Look what I found!







This was a pretty awesome sight. The Milgauss was even nicer, but I didn't want to be disrespectful. So I didn't take those photos. It was nice enough for the guy to show the watch to me. Thanks!
