Colored (Anodized) AP bezels from 1080 Watches

Also for Hublot and RM.
Simply sharing - who has heard of or seen these??
Not a fan personally, but then again I don't like Horus, etc.

Thanks for sharing. Haven't heard of them before but just reminds me of people changing the factory rims on an already nice car with something tacky/blingy.

Off-market customization is just a turn of for me personally haha.

seems odd to me. Not that i necessarily think those look bad, as they actually look ok. Its more that there can't be that many AP, RM, or even Hublot owners who would be jumping on board to customize their watch with aftermarket parts. It would be a very small fraction of those owners out of what is already tiny market of people who own those pieces to begin with.

Abit pricey, nearly 3000usd for a 42mm roo bezel.

I was thinking its a good alternative to replacing a damaged rubber one but it's more expensive lol.

Quite true.
Hence the words, maybe why the price is so high!! (Just below you.) Crazy!

Looks cool I guess, but $3000 for an aftermarket part and they don't even install for you? On top of that to have an AP taken apart by someone other than an AP Service Center? PASS.

Stupid idea and teamed with horus and their bogus straps. Though enough people buy horus, will probably end up buying this too.

If they made a high quality ceramic one for the 42mm I would consider it.
