You are not a RWI watchmaker, you will NOT advertise your services here, I won't tell you again.
I did not advertise the service. I didn't call myself "RWI Watchmaker", I didn't mislead anyone.
I don't understand your indignation, I think the forum member wanted to know from the question who made the modifications and I indicated that it was Me. (As far as I know, there is no post for this in the rules, so I could not indicate if I made something)

What's more, not even a single open post states that I would even recommend my service to anyone. It's true that I wanted to be a RWI watchmaker, but since you didn't give me a reasoned answer, I accepted that I couldn't be one.

For my part, I don't want to stir up a debate under the post, because it's not about me.

Almost all of the TDs should be able to get a Supreme FUCK EM dialed Sub.
Is there a premium version? I know the cheap version is readily available, but it'd be nice to have a VSF or Clean 👍

Trying to be polite, I just don't get the whole project. So you had a cheapo Sub with a dial that read FUCK EM and you wanted to use that classy dial on a good quality Sub.
You sourced a good quality VSF sub, and then spent time and money to get the crappy dial into the good watch. As we all learned, that wasn't easy and took compromise.

So for the two 6-letter words, that you wanted on that Sub for reasons only you know, you went through all that trouble?

It's a personal thing, but I can understand the Relax dial thing, 'cause it's fun thing to say "this is not a genuine Rolex" but I fail to see the alure of two vulgar words on a Rolex dial unless one -- and don't that that personally -- hangs with gangsters or wannabe gangsters.



To me, vulgarity alone is not fun; however, when being part of a whole package the message changes.

I like the photos and the work done. 🤗
This is nice and you went to the end of your concept.

I would have been in total awe if that was done by a self taught and still learning hobbyist like myself, vs a fully equipped professional watchmaker 😅

Last I checked you didn’t need to be a gangster or wannabe gangster to like Supreme... 😅

Supreme streetwear is believed to have made only 20 pieces of the 114060 with " FUCK EM " on the dial and they were not an official collaboration with Rolex and were never sold to the general public because of legal pressure from Rolex.

The work done on the watches was carried out by Bamford Watch Department and now sell for over $100k if you can find one for sale.

Wow . . . didn't even know that there was such a thing as a SUPREME Rolex in real life. Well, that definitely changes things. Still not my thing but at least now it's a replica of a watch that exists in real life, no matter how unknown.

We all know that Rolex is really going full war against copyright infringements. That's why the DIW Rolex people have to resort to their story about customer-provided genuine Rolexes when transforming them. My guess the only genuine thing Rolex in a DIW Rolex is the movement and, perhaps, the markers/indices . . .

Fyi without adding further comments to your initial thoughts ;)

Regardless of the banter, I think it was a job well done. Brilliant!
