We are still committed to share as many of our creations as possible. We usually ask our clients to send us a quick picture of their customized watch when they receive it. This is the black Rolex Daytona of our client Hank, customized with our Daytona blackout kit.
As you can see from the picture (even though quality is low), the kit includes:
- black PVD crown and pushers
- black PVD bezel
- black PVD attachment links and deployant buckel
- black crocodile strap with white stitching

We had promised we would keep sharing the cool watches we customize. A local client visited us and asked us for advices on how to give a new appearance to his Rolex Daytona. He had been wearing it for a while and we convinced him it was time for a change.
We looked at many options and finally opted for something very basic, yet classy. While trying different customization combination, we found out that the watch looks just great with a brown skin strap.
That’s all it took! A simple SWC brown crocodile strap is really a great fit with the white dial Daytona. The photo is not doing it any justice but we guarantee the client was really please with the end result.
Take a look at our selection of crocodile straps designed specifically for Rolex watches. Order on and we’ll swap it for you if you are not satisfied with the color you picked.

Our see-through casebacks have generated a lot of interest. We also get a lot of questions on how they can be installed. Here is a post that I hope will help answer this question.
Our casebacks cannot be installed using a normal Rolex case opener. You can install it using one of the following options:
1. Installation using a Ball Opener for Screw-Back Cases
The tool can be found here. It has been tested and has proven to work perfectly to install our sapphire caseback. It is unexpensive and very easy to use. Most of our clients have used it to install their casebacks.
2. Installation using a “rubber tool” also called Watch Case Die Aluminum High Grade 34mm
The tool can be found here. This is the most “professional” option but also requires having a press machine.
Both options are working just fine and are proven to provide the same water resistance as the original caseback.
You can also visit your local watch repair center and have it installed.
Feel free to contact us as always if you need additional details.

Some of you asked us how our kits and accessories were shipped. We have created a box that can carry all the parts included in our kits. It also protects the parts from being damaged during the shipping.
The example displayed below is a Crocodile Blackout Kit for Rolex Submariner. It includes a black PVD rotating bezel, a black PVD crown, and a black crodocile strap with white stitchings. Please note one again the black PVD deployant buckle and the attachment links on each side of the strap, designed to fit perfectly on your Rolex case.
You will also notice that a tool is included in the box to help you install the skin strap on your watch.

Here is a closer look at the black PVD parts we propose for the Rolex Daytona. This simple combination of parts gives a really nice “all-black” look to your watch.
The idea is to simply replace your crown/pushers by our black PVD crown/pushers kit and to replace the original bezel by our custom made black PVD bezel. The result is simply amazing.
We also suggest that you add a black crocodile strap and your watch will have a perfect “Blackout” look.

We’re going to keep posting cool pixs of the watches we customize for our clients. It’ll show the variety of things we can do with your Rolex and who knows, it might give you an idea for yours.
As I explain in my previous post, remember that our skin straps are coming with two customized stainless steel attachment links that allow the strap to fit perfectly with the watch case. It also comes with a stainless steel deployant buckle. You simply have to replace your entire Rolex bracelet, put it in a box and save it for later, our kit replaces the whole thing.
The example below is a great way to make a Rolex Datejust Lady looks even more feminine. The shiny pink crocodile straps really looks classy on this watch.
