saint-honore watch

My one and only post about “blacked out” aftermarket Rolexes was this one about Bamford and Black-Out Concept, almost a year ago. ?If anything you’ll want to read this prior post simply to see the “blacked-out” Ferrari that I included. ?Was I remiss (ignorant, perhaps!) in not adding Projext X Designs to the comparison? ?It seems so. ?From what I hear lately, Project X Designs is “where it’s at” when it comes to blacked-out watches. ?I suppose this is subject to fierce debate (depending on which one you own, hehehe). Also subject of fierce debate is the whole concept of “aftermarket” modding such as this. ?As far as I am concerned I don’t know what all the fuss is about (many Rolex purists do not like these modified versions).As for this particular blacked-out Rolex Explorer II with orange accents (bezel and seconds hand), 24 and only 24 will be made.Each watch will feature a laser engraved caseback with individual issue number and include with the original manufacturers box and papers, a project x designs certificate of customization and guarantee card.???? The orange colour used has been exclusively developed for this range of watches only, and will not be available via Project X’s “Bespoke” editions.???? Price is at 7250.00GBP and orders are being taken now. Delivery is planned for Mid July 2010.What else to say except that the black and orange work wonderfully together and I LIKE IT!

Nice close-ups of the process of creating openworked timepieces, at Audemars Piguet. It discusses how certain watch*** processes, can never be replicated by machines.
