Why? Just why?

That’s gotta be the worst thing I’ve ever seen. IMO

Agreed, but spending money to make your watch look like a fake is beyond me.

As watch above is clearly not a Rolex production model moved to the correct forum.

I like it and saw it on the Trusted Sellers website. Too expensive for me.

It’s a true Rolex - just treated to a PVD bath and aftermarket bezel.

More Batman than the BLNR methinks.

Might be better if shod with a rubber strap.

I hate being that guy, but I think it looks awesome. Probably too expensive for a mod, but still a very clean and unique look. Agreed with the above statement as this definitely has more if a Batman feel than the BLNR.

Not something I would wear, but I don't have an issue with heavily modified Rolex. They are just as tacky as buying a busted out Rolex or AP lol.

In my opinion any watch looks good if worn correctly.

My initial reaction was negative. One should not desecrate a Rolex design. But upon reflection, I think that it looks better than the original to me.

Almost as tacky as a two tone or solid gold Rolex.

I quite like the YG DD 40. It is a classic and certainly a better value than a Yacht Master 42 with a rubber strap, which ironically will end up costing more than a solid gold DD40 - YG or WG.

But yes, this watch looks like a fake.
