Saw this for a bit over $100K... Do you think Rolex will follow suit?

HogwldFLTR · 30 November 2017, 04:38 PM

I'm predicting an intro at Basel!!!

It would defunct the fact that command ring is not as operable as a factory fluted one.
Too flashy is just an understatement

Not certain how true the first comment is; the command ring doesn't take much effort to turn. It certainly wouldn't finds its way on to my wrist so I agree with the second statement. But then again Rolex makes many watches I want nothing to do with.

I think a model with some stones is overdue to be honest. If the GMT has been factory done then it should be natural to do this model as well.

Truly; the GMT is pretty much made useless as are Subs with the diamonds. There'd be no loss of functionality with the SkyD.

I like it with the bezel but could do without the bracelet stones.

The bracelet could be used as a weapon.

You mean like throwing rocks at someone?

James Bond could have use the bracelet as diamond cutter if he’s tied to a chair with zip lock.

yannis · 1 December 2017, 12:06 AM

Hey Lee i think it is too much but surely someone will buy it.

It's ugly. I want to heave.

Not for me but I can see how this can work for someone else. In fact, they can say it is one of a kind. I remain open to the fact that we all have different taste.

Not my cup of tea quite frankly.

I'd take a yellow gold Day Date 40 with baguette number markers any day of the week though.

For some reason it reminds me of the Taj Mahal.

herts9 · 1 December 2017, 04:45 AM

at that point, just get a Datejust and bling it out. it probably doesn't have a destined function use after all the sparkly stuff is added. more than borderline sad.

I can't imagine why a diamond bezel instead of the standard would cause the watch to stop working. I'm certainly not a fan of the treatment this watch received but I'm certain a diamond bezel could be added that is turnable, the same as is added to the GMTII or Subs.

I'm sure it's functional from a technical standpoint, but to me, someone who would do that to that particular model, would not be utilizing it as a tool that it was destined for...not that any of us ever dive 1000 feet anyway with the things we wear.

Just buy a gold/gem bracelet from Cartier and call it a day.

NLYogi · 1 December 2017, 04:58 AM

Just a toolwatch for daily wear, job interviews etc. Nothing strange. Little blingy that’s all.

Lordofrolex · 1 December 2017, 05:04 AM

Where did you find this image?

A lot of jewelers have been "flooding" skyD. I don't think this picture is from rolex.

Xerxes77 · 1 December 2017, 05:13 AM

I don’t like!

Does this really need a comment? Clearly I wouldn't say, "Do you think Rolex will follow suit?" if it were from Rolex.

At any rate I can't find the original site now. Here's one that was sold.

Not my favorite.

taofeeq · 1 December 2017, 05:59 AM

Diamonds on the beautiful sky-dwellers are tacky I believe...

CoachLange · 1 December 2017, 06:24 AM

Great exercise in diamond setting technique, but not for me.

FeelingTheBlues · 1 December 2017, 06:28 AM

It actually looks quite nice for what it is in my opinion, the setting seems well done.
