They got some nerve creating that and charging 15k probably for the mods.
Jack would do that for less than a g. And the finish would be much better.

Yes, it will rub off with regular wear. I had a cerakoted rifle for awhile and it showed wear after 6 months of regular use. On the rifle it looked fine. This would be a completely different story. The watch sucks.

Christ, Ariel shouldn't be let near a keyboard. What the hell was the point of that jumble of words masquerading as an article that I just read?

I had not even bothered to click that link until you made mention of this. What did stand out to me was the close up of the dial in the article. Look at the minute markers, especially those under the "6". Absolute garbage.

It's most likely a good thing for Bamford there is a little glare on the crystal in that shot.

Bamford can claim "its a prototype!" all they want. But have you ever seen Rolex, PP, JLC etc. ever release such sub par work and say " It's a prototype."? I could be wrong, but i don't think they do that. Even Tag with all their Monaco V4 work that took like 10 years. Every photo i saw of their work in progress looked great.

you can loop a Rolex and they look perfect. My grandma could see the shitty work of a Bamford from across the room, and she's blind in one eye and died 5 years ago.

I'd never wear a watch that color.

Or one that says "Commando" on the dial.

Both make it :puke:


If I wanted a modified Rolex I would call ABC and have my 114060 lugs reworked & drilled and a big crown installed. That would be killer.
