Alex,


I have not owned one but saw them in a small watch boutique in Singapore.
There was a phase of enthusiasm but like most fads, it died out.
I never saw any on collectors' wrists, which is remarkable for Singapore, the hub of watch collecting.
Or maybe, I'm not in the Rolex Herd?

Visual and tactile inspection revealed smooth finish but no data on longevity and durability. Aesthetically, its was bland because all the usual Rolex motifs were subjugated. I guess that is the point of the exercise for some people.

Regards,
Melvyn
