Yes, thank you!
$277,850.

Just adding the diamond bracelet added about $122,800.

Also, I am referring to the latest Rolex catalog by calling this the most expensive in production. Does anyone know where I can find the watches such as the GMT Ice? These models are more but I can't find them to reference them.

Let me know what you think of this $177,850.00 Rolex.
If you are referring to the rehaut, all new Rolex watches come with that...

Or, to put it bluntly you are paying over $235,000 for nothing but the opportunity to say you own the most expensive Rolex watch. There has to be a reasonable price point in this market. I'm thankful for free enterprise but this is just plain price gouging or profiteering or whatever the economists call it. It's crazy ! ! !
Not that the price of metals has anything to do with the price of a Rolex. The price of Stainless Steel is pretty cheap yet some of the sports watches go for over $12K with no diamonds !! It's a Brand thing.

Also do you have any .950 or .9999 Platinum you want to sell for $30/gram ? :)

For me it would be the perfect piece to flip for a DRSD, 6263/6265....and some others!

Quite ridiculous. It's not really a GMT anymore.

Interesting but not my thing. Look more like a woman's watch.
