Hardcore Pawn

I was watching Hardcore Pawn on truTv last night (it was late, give me a break...) and one of their transactions involved a Rolex. So, I thought I would check out their online selection and came across this gem. I've never seen a DJ like this or with a 40mm bezel, but thought I would leave the scrutiny up to the experts. Warning: This can not be unseen.

I looked at some other watches on that site and the pictures always obscure the date and all the pictures are at odd angles.

I just personally wouldn't trust anyone selling online who won't post straight-forward shots and plenty of them in the manner that our "trusted seller" here on TRF do as a matter of course.

40mm Bezel - more diamonds.

One way to give more in the spirit of the holiday season.

monstrosity imho, they never show you a front on view because with these rubbish custom dials the date window is always off centre, too high or low, never where it should be as no qualty control.

It almost made me sick when I realized the semi-retarded son wears a polar exp II :(

The only thing I'd want from that watch, is the case and bracelet. Trash the rest. Sell the diamonds.

This type of dial and bezel combinations were very popular in the mid 1980's in LA when the rappers started making too much money......usually used onyx for center stone AND were mostly done on Day-Dates......
