Is Rolex releasing a "stealth" version of one of its models? I remember seeing a photo of one with a all grey/black dial and indexes. Would fit the modern batman aka "The black knight".

Found the photo... Dont know if its a prototype, fake or a real model. Looks cool though!
It seems like the only Blacked Out Rolex models that I have seen are not specifically linked with ROLEX in any way. All of these seem to be done by aftermarket companies not affiliated with Rolex.
I've seen companies that offer you the ability to customize it based on your existing Rolex, or buy one of their customized models based on a pre-owned Rolex as the starting point. Don't know if any of these aftermarket companies start with new Rolex's or not?
Some of the companies offering these pieces (some in PVD and some in the much more durable DLC)...Black-Out Concept, Titan Black, Blaken Watches, Swiss Wrist, International Watch Works, and I'm sure many, many others. Most of these companies seem to offer this on not just Rolex, but other luxury brands, and I'm sure some of these companies would provide this custom coating on any watch...not just those with super-premium price tags. My 2cents...
I agree with you guys...that Rolex GMT stealth above needs a black date wheel to finish the look.
Thanks for the explanation Chris!

Im not against modding watches that are cheaper. But when it comes to luxury brands i personally feel it should be done at their factory, and be inline with their high standards and quality control. Here i thought that finally Rolex has made a watch that speaks my language. (Hope im using the right words and dont come off sounding as a snob or a A-hole).
Also had to edit and add this link. Maybe i will have to eat my words from above. Looks really sweet.
