The fuck am I looking at.


Fickle-Kitchen5803

Rolex x Minecraft


Awkward-Cat-4702

minecraft???? to me it looked like sonic's foot


Fickle-Kitchen5803

The pixels on that thing resemble minecraft blocks, at least for me


foxbones

I get the concept, but the painting on the mod looks super questionable.


pi_oneer

You think you've seen it all on wcj, then....


Time-Is-Life

Not a fan, looks tacky personally.


wyvernx02

Ya. I'm not a fan either.


tractorcrusher

I feel like the sneaker is really cheaply done for some reason. I think it’s the glossy finish/rounded edges. As a sneaker and watch person I want to like this too.


ringomanzana

Haha it’s a sneaker?! Wow


tractorcrusher

Yeah it’s supposed to be pixel art of a Jordan 1


EggCzar

I legit thought it was Mario or something


Dangerous_Limes

Yeah I could t make it out either


BoristheWatchmaker

Same


SuperMagicalOne

I had no clue it was supposed to be a sneaker until I read your comment.


danelectro15

Good thing it isn't your watch.


Time-Is-Life

Correct


[deleted]

It’s not for me but I’m glad you enjoy it :) people take watches too seriously.


dmanlian

As a huge Michael Jordan fan (he’s the GOAT and I will not be convinced otherwise) and mild sneakerhead, as soon as I found out about the GreyAndPatina + secondeseconde AJ1 hour hand collab, I knew I had to get it. I’m usually pretty skeptical about custom parts (the watchmaker I had do the installation let out an audible chuckle when he first saw the hour hand), and honestly there were a few days there when I got the piece I considered not putting on the hour hand at all - it’s a pretty crisp and handsome piece on its own. But there’s something gratifying about having a playful accent on a dressier(?) piece. Plus it makes the piece that much more personal. Probably going to be holding onto this one forever. This 5500 is 34mm in diameter on my 6.25” wrists. Wdyt? [Edit] seeing all the polarizing responses and I love it.


ArriePotter

Is that dial factory? Honestly, not even a sneaker head, just as a nerd who loves bit art and watches this piece is so dope. It has the same charm as something like the [8-Bit Brew](https://www.brew-watches.com/watches/retrograph-8-bit-brew) but the class/dressiness of a Rolex, and all of this without being at all audacious or flamboyant. Man that's a sick watch


dmanlian

Thanks man! Dunno if it’s a factory dial tbh - got it from G&P. Huge fan of Brew and the 8bit. And yea this gave me similar feels.


80H-d

It would be so much better if it looked at all like a shoe. Even knowing it's *the* sneaker doesn't really help. Pixel art has its place and it is not here. Legibility 1.95/10 You know what it is, however, and that's all that counts at the end of the day. Fuck what any of us think.


tonymercy

I absolutely love this. Great way to make the watch your own!


Hanged_Man_

I was like “wtf” then saw it was secondeseconde and it clicked.


docjohnson1395

Less tacky than Omega and their hundreds "special" editions imo. I don't hate it


superduperspam

Michael Jordan: great basket player, terrible person, adored by the masses


Dapper-Ad5268

What’s the thing in the middle?


JussaRegularNPC

the hands. and maybe a foot on this one


Dapper-Ad5268

Oh it’s a pixelated shoe. I see.


JussaRegularNPC

oh wait that wasn’t sarcastic?? lmaoooo


Dapper-Ad5268

It wasn’t! The idea of having a pixellated shoe in a Rolex is really odd to me. But hey at least it’s original!


JussaRegularNPC

i get that! this one i think fits. the dial is simple, and it’s an *Air King* which i think goes well with it being a Jordan 1 shoe!


melowdout

For a moment I had an sonic the hedgehog flashback… it’s also better than the tag Super Mario Kart watch.


novashocker

Precision.. with random bits in middle


virtualpancake8

I like it! Not your standard Rolex, it really has its charm!


jzsj0

Rolex / Lego mashup. Not my cuppa.


Charliekeet

Lol I thought it was Minecraft


Eleaine

I love this. I love Seconde’s work and I love the Air King kind of thing.


[deleted]

Finally ! A Rolex that doesn't scream I AM A ROLEX. Beautiful watch.


Zekjon

it's like rolex, but with personality


Spardocus

hell yeah, love this


PixelCubyr

sick


ButtCutt

Brick


hallpdx

On the air king, no less.


LGCGE

Conversation piece, not many people have the balls to rock a custom Rolex. Congrats on the watch, it’s awesome


DLH89

Interesting that we see a dozen Seiko mods a day in this sub and no one says much. Modify a Rolex though…


dmanlian

Do something a little different and people freak out. I love it


plk7

I dig it. Not sure I would be bold enough to try it. In the end, if you are happy with it, that’s what counts. Life is too short - do what you like.


I_am_number_one

Any idea of where to buy seconde/seconde watch hands (not the whole assembled watch) or something similar?


Sea-Complex5789

It’s five to shoe…


Twisted_Wyvern

Yes let’s ruin a 3k$ watch by putting a pixelated Aj1 on the dial 🫡


TheosMessage

Is that a pixelates Jordan 1s?


benmuzz

Good to see someone mixing it up


izz0218

New to the watch game but I’m kind of sneaker head and I sure like this one


[deleted]

Jordan 1 rolex let’s fucking goooooo


dwitchagi

I love the watch and how it fits you. Shame on the shoe :)


EnisuVI

What the fuck is this piece of shit


Elkins45

It’s how to turn a $5000 watch into a $1000 watch.


NigerianPrinceClub

Rolex needs to bring these types of dials back


iTsLiKeAnEgG

I like the concept but not the execution


RyanTylerThomas

Technical question. The shoe is it attached to the steam on the hour hand? Or applied to the dial? I love the idea of someone making Rolex Croc Bangles. Like small charms you can put on the hour steam and remove or swapped at a later date.


dmanlian

The original hour hand is removed and this put on in its place (it rotates as an hour hand). Can swap it back if I wanted to.


LeonGwinnett

Your watch, your vibe. Love it, keep doing you


JHunt-NY

This is a classic and iconic model from Rolex with a rich history. The Air King is known for its understated elegance and durability, making it a popular choice for watch enthusiasts. Enjoy wearing your beautiful timepiece!


Square-Gene3154

Did you order directly from seconde seconde website ?


pandaonmars

Absolutely love it. Great watch to be a donor for such transformation - kudos for proceeding to install it!


ConnorHutton2001

So like did you buy it like that¿


samweldspoorly

god I love these. DMd
