If you can't tell time on a watch, there's no point. You might as well just wear a diamond bracelet.

That is stunning. That would make some lucky lady very happy.

Don't get the "fugly" remark. The diamond setting looks first rate and Girard Perregaux are famed for their tourbillons.

It's jewellery which happens to tell the time.

Hmm, seems pretty easy to tell time on it; the small hand is the hours hand, and the bigger hand is the minutes hand.

Without hour markers, I doubt it would be very easy to tell any time besides 12, 3, 6, or 9.

it barely tells the time though lol... I'm just kidding...

wouldn't a lady rather like a normal 10k watch, then a 50k diamond bracelet.. and save yourself 300k to buy a rolls royce or bentley to share together.. that's just me though... except I can't afford any of that.. so that's not me...

The type of people who can afford watches like this don't really think about it like that; they have the watch and the RR and the diamond bracelet...

Even if you are Jewish, that comment isn't appropriate IMHO

wowwwwwwwww

God forbid a jew says he knows other jews that are that rich and still manage their money well without pissing it away like it's nothing. What a horrible thing to say

Someone call the political correctness police!!!

You obviously aren't jewish and don't know many business orientated european jews otherwise maybe you'd understand our humour better. Or just go watch a Jackie Mason comedy show. Jews can make fun of jews all we want and its ok, but YOU non jews can't. Lollol @ how any jew I know would look at my comment and be like yup that's true but here are gentiles getting offended over what a jewish guy said about jews LOL. I don't even... wow... you guys are silly.

What does a Jewish lady make for dinner?
Reservations.

How do you know when a Jewish woman has an orgasm?
She drops her nail filer.

ooyyyyvay

As a jew I feel I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.

My grandfather always said, “Don’t watch your money; watch your health.” So one day while I was watching my health, someone stole my money. It was my grandfather.

Now you can be offended... just like all the jews were in the crowd at the jackie mason show... who paid money to watch... so offended they laughed. Harr harr harr.


But yea, cool watch.

Just took me one look at your post history added to this and there was little doubt that you should not have ever been given a moments time on TRF

QC, you are such a master watchmaker! Teach me!

I quite like this watch actually! It has an interesting design and is really blingy but somehow it does look rather pure and simple! Besides, I like how the tourbillon pops out of a dial without any markers (the diamonds may shine a lot but there are no colors whatsoever, the complication gets all the attention in this pictures...at least in my humble opinion).

Thank you for sharing Cru!
