Project X Designs "Stealth" Customized Rolex Submariner Watch
Since the media is on the topic, I am going to dedicate this post to Charlie Sheen. More specifically Charlie Sheen in the movie Platoon - because this set of watches from Project X Designs looks precisely like something his character would have worn in Platoon. See how nicely that works out? And since we know Charlie Sheen is a big time watch lover (and warlock), he would have likely happily worn one of these (good actor playing solider wears good watch acting to be soldiers' watch) . This watch is Project X Designs' latest Rolex mod called the Stealth Mk. III and Mk. IV. Which means there should have been a Mark I and II before it.I last wrote about Project X Designs here. As you recall, they have no relationship with Rolex, but rather take new Rolex timepieces and perform various modifications on them. The results are usually very cool. Rolex modifiers are pretty common, but those who do it well are rare. The Project X Stealth watches are meant to hearken back to military Rolex Subm

Most often these aren't even one hit wonders, just one album and gone bands.One album I downloaded, called the Soft Machine (1968) by the Soft Machine has the inner workings of a mechanical watch on its cover. For what it is worth (I edited out the naughty part):

New addition and I am now ready for Baselworld 2018
After Rolex introduced the new movement 3 years ago, this time of year before Baselworld I was like more concerned about what model Rolex could discontinue, instead of excited about what new model they would introduce. The recent global dry up of the SS models just maked this year's feeling worse. With the current production line, one of the few always in my shopping list is the DS D-blue. I had concerns about its thickness before, but after owning PAM 005 I was confident I could handle the D-Blue as well. So last week I finally made up my mind and started calling ADs to check its availability, plus asking information on the SD 43 and Daytona C that also in my shopping list. For the first 4 or 5 AD I called their answers were basically the same: 1)forget about the 500c, 2)10-15 people waiting list for the SD43, 3) no waiting list for the D Blue and they can call me once in stock.I finally found one on Saturday and picked it up to join my Rolex collection. Not only did the AD remove al
