Diamonds are a man’s best friend???
GQ magazine recently started a monthly watch column (yet another sign this hobby of ours is spreading). In the latest issue, the column was focused on Rolexes. But a very specific category of Rolexes; factory diamond set models. We’ve all seen some/all of these here or on Instagram, etc...but to see all of these at once in a single photo is quite cool (even if you wouldn’t wear a diamond set Rolex if they paid you). Even more impressive though is that these all belong to a single collector! [Image of the column below.]

That collector has some very rare all factory pieces. Very very impressive that they all belong to a single person.

According to some, diamond encrusted Rolex will get your closer to hard to get references. I’d say that qualifies them as “men’s best friend” as well

I was going to point out the absence of a Platona but nope, there it is. All bases covered then. Anyone else slightly unsettled at how they're all piled together like Blackbeard the pirate's treasure?

I don't think diamonds are a man's best friend. Not for me; to each his own.
