but knowing that the watch has to be re-coated every 5yrs just doesn't float my boat.

There is no need to re-coat every 5 years. It is only necessary if the coating is messed up such as "if subjected to extreme abrasion against a hard, rough surface, such as a brick wall"

Just in case...no, I am not a representative of this company.

it's kinda like modifying a car rite?

IF i am able to mod a suzuki swift go as fast as an evo then sell it, dun think i'll get sued but the wty provided by suzuki will be voided of course. wonder if my line of thought the same as the pro-hunter series.

yeah. that is what im driving @. modifying a watch is ok. however, infringement of copyright is an offence. so have to see which is which.

[feudallordcult]

why get sued? due to the words added on the dial?

then how about those vintage 6694 with different color dials? will also get sued?

Got the following information from a website:

Q. Is the Pro-Hunter part of the Rolex Collection?
A. No, The Pro-Hunter is a high quality customisation of a Rolex Sports Watch.

Q. Can the watch be serviced at a Rolex Service Centre?
A. No, As a General Rule, Rolex Service Centres do not service modified or customised watches. Therefore we have invested in our own service center based in London UK, with In House, Rolex trained, watch technicians.

Q. Do you provide a warranty?
A. Yes, Every Pro-Hunter comes with a 2 year In-House warranty covering the case, dial and movement.

Q. What papers come with the watch?
A. (i) The Original Rolex Guarantee Papers. However, we would like to be very clear to avoid any misunderstanding; As the Rolex Watch has been modified, the Original Rolex Guarantee would be treated as void by Rolex Service Centres.

(ii) The Pro-Hunter Guarantee which gives a full one year guarantee on the underlying model and customisation process.

Q. Are Pro-Hunter customisation of pre-used watches?
A. No, All Pro-Hunters are customisations of Brand New Rolex Watches.

Q. Are different types of straps available?
A. Yes, We provide various straps in different colours and thickness.

Q. Can a metal or leather strap be attached to the Pro-Hunter?
A. Since the Pro-Hunter has fixed lugs, a metal strap cannot be attached. However, a leather strap can be specially customised to fit the watch.

Q. Will the black coating wear off?
A. Under normal wear and tear condition the black coating will not wear off. If subjected to extreme abrasion against a hard, rough surface, such as a brick wall, then it can. However, the coating can be reapplied during a simple service.

Q. Is the Pro-Hunter water proof?
A. Yes, the Pro-Hunter retains all the properties of the underlying watch.

Q. How many pieces are being made?
A. Submariner Dates and GMT-Masters are strictly limited to 100 pieces only.

Q. After what time period would you recommend the service on these watches.
A. 5 years. Service of the movement, and re-application of the case coating if necessary.

Q. In the future, will you customise other models?
A. We may bring out new lines, in a similar limited edition policy. However, we will not tap any existing lines.

can share where u get ur strap and buckle from?

From gnomon's shop at Shaw Towers. Friendly guy Anders. Had a nice chat with him yesterday. Eh, don't ask price hor, coz I really can't remember, as I bought a few straps at the same time.

[triton]

Was getting tired of all the scratches on my new watch. Don't know if this is considered sacrilege or not, but I decided to swap out my bracelet for a rubber strap for daily use. Probably will only use the bracelet for more formal occassions.
