I think you raise some good points and it is definitely good to know that Project X has the facilities to service these pieces. I agree to an extent with what you are saying but I also feel that these watches have been transformed from iconic timepieces into fashion accessories, and very expensive ones at that! Regardless it will be very interesting to see if Rolex does produce something in-house in the same style as above!!

And Project X Designs provide their own warranty and servicing by watchmakers who actually 'graduated' at Rolex... I'm deep in watch culture and do not think that kind of customizing is a sacrilege at all. In fact, I'd rather have such a customized Rolex than a regular Rolex -- me and a lot others, and maybe that's the reason why there are talks of Rolex coming up with something of the kind in the near future. But will they? Or will they buy Project X Designs? It’s not a PVD treatment, it’s much better — DLC.

Thanks for the inside tip Ben, I was not aware of that although it does make sense given all the "stars" wearing the customized black versions of their watches. It will be very interesting to watch how that unfolds. That was my main concern too re servicing, that would really suck if you couldn't get it serviced by an authorized RSC and would probably be the main stumbling block for me (beside the premium price! :) ) Really?

Word on the street is that Rolex will be releasing a black (PVD/DLC) watch in either 2010 or 2011, and you know what that means? Bamford, Project X, and all these other after market shops will be out of business. Also, even though these are cool, they are no longer really Rolexes and the RSC will turn you away should they need service.
