Most Expensive Rolex in Production 18956

[Vincent65]

...if that's what someone wants to do with their money, that's just fine with me, but for my personal taste, I find it totally ostentatious and akin to having a gold toilet.

[MonBK]

As long as you don't use gold toilet paper I'm fine with it.

Think it's more suited to a woman personally.
Tooooo much money.

[jolimont]

wow thanks for sharing

[travisb]

I'd rather the extra money went towards a complication rather than bling.
Great looking for those that prefer diamonds though..

[yessir69]

If I become a rapper, that will be my first purchase.

[kkwn98]

I believe forum member Yume-sama has that very same watch.

Something of this calibre needs something a little more special than a NATO...








Now a bedazzled NATO.....

There are 28 grams per ounce of platinum for a total of 224 grams at $30, equaling $6,720 in platinum value and there are about $3,000 in diamonds (at best) so that means you are paying a whopping $268,130 for the same movement as is in a $30,000 DD. 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 ! ! !

Do you reason with Ferrari the same way? What's the scrap value of a Ferrari? Its just a bunch of steel, aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber, right? I bet I could buy the raw materials for what makes a Ferrari for only a few thousand dollars. Oh wait, who's going to make it into a Ferrari for me?

Do the materials making up the watch somehow magically transform themselves into the watch?

The square and rectangular baguette diamonds are pretty large in the bezel, and very large on the bracelet. There are a total of 115 diamonds on the watch (bezel plus dial plus bracelet). $3,000 in diamonds at best?? $26 per diamond? Per D color, flawless diamond?? Per perfectly matched, perfectly set diamond??

Platinum, in its raw, unusable form, is worth just over $50 per gram at the moment.

Where exactly did you get your numbers from?

[SWISSAHOLICS]

Everyone has different tastes.....not everyone is into such flash....I personally would wear it during a very special event but that would be about it....but would not own it because it would just sit in the vault and that's not what watches are for....

That's what I am thinking....it's $50 per gram for PLAT....and that's is not how you calculate the value of Rolex....you are paying premium for a brand. Trust me, you cannot walk into Tiffany & Co. and pay $.86 per gram for their silver jewelry....you pay for the brand.

[Watchdog]

I think it would look great on a wife or girlfriend. It's a pretty watch, just not for me to wear IMO.

[nick c]

To much bling bling

[Matt_Regan]

Wow that is some serious bling! If you have that much money and what to stand out from the crowd then THAT is the way to do it!

[Stuxnet]

I'd throw in another $100,000 and buy the Patek 6102.

From a book perhaps?

Awesome timepiece !

[SkyKing31]

I like the 18956 bril .. I will be posting pics of mine once it arrives

[afc1]

It's very impressive but it's definitely not my style. Personally, I stay away from diamonds but some people pull them off better than others.

[How]

Each to their own.

And for me, I dislike it.

[bridgs]

It is a knockout for sure! Personally, I would rather spend the funds on a house or piece of land.

[GIS8]

Looks awesome, but at that price range their are many other things (watches included) that come to mind.

[oneillba]

Ice can be nice!

Some people like to take it to the extreme.... something like this 18K SOLID GOLD Toliet;

[thomaspp]

Wow!

Dingo and Monbk that's awesome, but the ones you have on don't have the diamond bracelet so stop toying with us!

[gbcecil]

A lot of mixed reviews here. I do like the watch. It is heavy on the wrist but the look is great. The video is great and really shows off the diamonds.
