Just fall in LOVE with the Bamford Deepsee
I was at material good(New York) today, went to change the strap for my watch and came across this stunning all black but oem dial deepseaa. The retail was 25k, anyone has one ? Or someone can source me a pre-owned one for sale ?
I normally wear my Rm 030 daily, i also have a yachtmaster 2 two tone but never wore it after the rm. But this new bamford watch just stunned me, what a cool piece, i even think it looks better than my Rm.

Not for me from two perspectives; the black will wear and the watch it too large. Other than that it's fine.

I can respect how some people may enjoy this though not my cup of tea. What I don't see is how they can charge like $10k for a DLC job. And people complain about how expensive Rolex is...

I agree, 10k over is ridiculous.
Nonetheless i think it looks very very cool. I mean can you get a black rolex other than that ? |

There are a lot of companies that will dlc any watch. You are aware that Rolex won't service a watch that has been modified that much? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The additional word (Bamford) makes the already busy dial becomes even busier...

I think that it looks seriously cool. I'd never do that to any Rolex.

I'm all for mods and personalizing ones own watch, but in my opinion, that watch is ruined. Just my

Not for me. Not my cup of tea. Extremely expensive for no reason. I like oem mods like jocke did to his datejust with authentic parts.

If you're keeping it forever it's your call.
Should you one day want to sell it........think twice before pulling the trigger. It's not my taste. |

Just fall in LOVE with the Bamford Deepsee
Interesting but not for me. If you like it and you want it, Buy It!

My buddy has a sub that he sent out to get DLC'd at least 3-4 years ago. Still looks good.

Doesn't appeal to me, though it might look a tad better with the black dial version.

Warranty
I take it this voids warranty?
Even after warranty would Rolex still service a custom watch? |
