Project X Designs PXD SS2 & SS3 Modded Rolex Watches

Project X Designs is one of the most prestigious Rolex watch modifiers around. I previously showed off some of their timepieces here. They have no official relationship with Rolex, but what they do is take new Rolex watches and perform very (very) difficult to do modifications on them to offer cutsomized timepieces in very limited quantities. The PXD SS2 (with the black coated case) , and the PXD SS3 (with the brushed steel case) are meant as modern retro homages to Rolex military style Submariner watches from the past.

Other than the black coating of the SS2 case, the changes from stock Rolex watches are subtle, but important. The steel case on the SS3 has been done in an all brushed and satin finish. Text on the dial has been made partially in red, while the lume dot on the rotating diver's bezel is not colored black. Also, the watches are matched to high-quality black NATO style straps. The base watches are modern Rolex Submariners, but have now been made to look like highly sought after vintage pieces - though the style is unique and does not mirror any specific vintage piece. Both the PXD SS2 & SS3 watches are available in limited editions of just 24 pieces each. Price for the Project X Designs SS2 is £8,950, while the SS3 costs £6,650.
