It won’t show scratches

superpop · 27 August 2019, 10:41 AM

Rap moguls, NBA/NFL players and various cartel members buy over the top crap like this all the time. On anyone else it just looks fake.

McLovin · 27 August 2019, 10:45 AM

Why didn’t they ice the lugs? Sorry, it’s not bling bling enough.

Perhaps because of demand for it.

I guess you missed my point, which your further made! I agree. There is a demand, which is why they make it.

They prolly would have if it was on a Masterpiece bracelet.

I think that’s the White Gold 116599TBR Daytona in OP’s first post. Should have been on a Navy Blue Alligator strap if it was 100% original.

If you wore this watch to Mar-A-Lago they would assume it's real, otherwise, who knows. It's important to people in that income bracket.

Out of curiosity, do they start with a zillion holes in the dial and glue everyone in one by one?

Nikrnic · 27 August 2019, 11:18 AM

Except for the diamond lugs I like it better than the rainbow. Easy now, I'm not saying I like either but I'm sure there's a market as small as it may be.

Save yourself the effort and just tape some hundred dollar bills to your wrist. I mean that the point right, hey look at me any my money.

Oh I got it. I was adding a bit of weird sarcasm.

But will it sparkle?

It only takes one person to like it. I liked diamonds in my younger days. Now something more subtle is called for.

athens7 · 27 August 2019, 02:38 PM

Gem set variants of popular models are part of Rolex's DNA. Love them or hate them, it's up to you. If you respect the brand, you have to accept its' eccentricities. As said by others, Rolex's gem setting prowess is noteworthy.

That DD with pave dial is just drop dead gorgeous.

The Daytona on the other hand is a bit OTT.

Not for me either. I would never do that to a watch.

but true, it's not nearly as bad as the rainbow.

SlowhandBuzz · 27 August 2019, 10:47 PM

Hopefully they don't ever do anything really tacky, like put a blue face on a SS Sub ;)

Subterranean · 28 August 2019, 12:25 AM

Fantastic looking watch...awesome in the sunlight.love how precious gems are incorporated into timepieces.a real jewel.

Calatrava r · 28 August 2019, 01:20 AM

I think its designed for ladies and it is a very beautiful watch.

Robtayham · 28 August 2019, 01:58 AM

I’m not a big fan of any gems on a Rolex. Even just diamonds hour markers on a dial. But, there are a lot of people who do like these. That’s why they are made: demand.

When I see these blinged out watches, I wonder if these speciality watches represent the the real collectibles. Is the current hype about certain professional pieces blinding us from realizing which watches are truly collectible?

‘Collectible’ watches are not the same as ‘hype driven bubble priced’ watches.
