This one was for sale here awhile back. It's a sweet mod but $19k is tuff to swallow.

Some will like some not. I think you should be able to do anything you want to your watch.

Some great looking modifications..

I would like to see Rolex go back to the larger chamfers on the case sides for the new block-case models..

I like it. I'd like it even more if they had slimmed down the lugs a bit.

I like it. But at that price it should have come in platinum

On balance would I conduct any of the modifications to my own watch, though? The answer is certainly no – not even the lugs.

I think it's tastefully done although I wouldn't pay a dime over 4k for one.
