can i take a shower with this? how about the Jacuzzi?

I love all the "experts" here.... I get having a opinion, I have one, and I dont find this watch attractive at all. But the op asked if it was authentic, and all these guys in the know here chime in with it's fake. Sometimes saying I don't know or nothing is more informative. Thanks David for the information. Op, you've gotta be able to find something more attractive for 100k. Good luck

Thanks you for your response. It's been an education reading your comments!

After reading David's comments, I will retract my original comments on the status of the dial, hands, and bracelet.

However, I still think it is an overly ostentatious display of wealth and not a very attractive watch. That's just MHO.

I also find it very interesting that it was supposedly knowledgeable people that totally dismissed it. It's not my cup of tea, but that wasn't the question. Well done David, a true asset to the watch community.....

Why do you find that interesting, are we not allowed to be wrong once in a blue moon?

To my defense it's so ugly it should be rated a fake.

I was the third person in this thread to name it a fake.

saaduk · 7 March 2014, 06:14 AM

I agree its not a pretty piece. I just wanted to know whether its good for investment or not as the guy is willing to negotiate.

Ill paste some close up photos soon. Thank you all

dpa94114 · 16 May 2015, 03:56 AM

Hmmm...I'm guessing this would have hit well over $200K this past week

White Gold $185K...the more subtle Yellow Gold almost $200K

The multi-diamond strings are fascinating...the Rolex versions are so incredibly subtle compared to some of even the best custom ones.

That wouldn't be bad to nearly double your money in 13 months.

goldfixer21 · 16 May 2015, 06:28 AM

It's always fun to see the "it's fake" posts, only to find out it's not. There are many that find this style watch desirable, while I am not one that does. Like others have stated, everyone has different tastes. I have no affinity for BMW's, but that doesn't mean I think those that do have no taste.

Comacho · 16 May 2015, 07:30 AM

Im counting 5 of them... either way pretty crazy!

Vintage subs are childs play...
Sounds like these DDs are a proper investment

saaduk · 17 May 2015, 04:42 PM

The person who owns that watch has no idea of its worth.

Mosbrook · 18 May 2015, 01:48 AM

Looks like soemthing Gene Simons would throw out.

dpa94114 · 18 May 2015, 03:07 PM

What is fascinating is how clear the true Rolex factory diamond dials are so carefully made - amazing craftsmenship - compared to the tons and tons of "custom" versions.

Can someone get this moved out of WATCH-OUT and into vintage...this is a great reference thread (I actually think I'm learning something LOL)

They must have some idea if they are talking $100,000, does not look like the sought of watch you would stumble over......

Would be interesting to know the Diamond and metal value vs watch value, those posted ones have gone for big $'s. Like any super niche item be it cars, coins or tropical birds...... the more unique the number of buyers is smaller, but like any auction it just needs two people who really want the item..... For me selling standard Subs will always be easier.
