Bamford watch department: The Rolex pimpers



You might remember a post or two a while back on the watch department of Bamford and Sons, which specialises in taking your bog standard Rolex and doing stuff that you wouldn't necessarily consider adviseable to them. Like painting them black. Or colouring the markers in pink.

Due to the infinite amount of possible designs available, this customising is often quite a hit a miss affair. One design might look amazing, while another could resemble something a middle school pupil might wear.

If you doubt that a Rolex can be ruined by this process, take a look at the Fragment design abomination, or that Colette one on the right. Yes, that is a Rolex, and to make matters worse, that custom blue paintjob will probably set you back another £5k on a standard model.

Bamford is clearly quite proud of what it does, so it's made a video.

This is your opportunity to see how bad this can actually get. That said, you might like it. Who am I to really say? It's a question of taste, after all.

If you do like it and you fancy getting one done for me, I wouldn't say no.
