A while back, when I was writing for a certain men’s magazine, I was called and instructed by Rolex to pull a story; as an independent media owner writer now, I have no such restrictions and this is a story I find important enough to talk about: Customised Rolex Watches. For the last few issues I’ve been waxing lyrical about having a bespoke wardrobe and accessories but then I realised (about 5 minutes ago)- it wasn’t really about bespoke, it’s about you wanting to be outstanding in some way.

PVD Customised Rolex from Bamford Watch Department: SE Submariner California

The Individualist is someone who has forged his own path to success and is now looking for something more, thanks to the Bamford Watch Department, they can go beyond the “regular” high end steel sports watches from Audemar Piguet and Rolex- Bamford & Sons offer customised issues these iconic brands.

Running for over 10 years as an independent company, they offer watch aficionados the opportunity to custom design their favorite timepieces to their own personalised detail or if imagination is lacking, a choice of designs from a range of tastefully simple yet masterfully accentuated collection. Beyond custom details, each Bamford piece comes with military grade PVD and bespoke dial colour options service.

The BWD California featured here are housed in a shockproof/waterproof customised Otter box and come complete with Nato strap and bracelet tool. Also included in the box is our two year warranty card and instruction card- the only drawback of such extensive customisation is that the brand warranty no longer applies- but truth is- you’ve come this far to not let something this trivial stop you isn’t it?
