Apparently a company named Beckertime had a Rolex sale on eBay that ends today and sold this watch to someone for $74,999. I get that it is covered with diamonds and has a lot of gold but I don't find it the least bit attractive.

Do you think it is worth $75,000 and would you even wear it if you could afford it and wouldn't it weigh about 16 ounces or even more which would be like having a wrist weight on you all the time.

If I had that kind of money I would buy up a couple of vintage collectibles.

Maybe it's someone's Christmas present ! ! !

Don't exagerate, it's 74999$ not 75000 .

Not for me, but there seems to be a buyer for just about anything.

Can you post the link?

bayerische · 4 December 2012, 01:24 AM

I wouldn't wear it.

A Rapper maybe bought it?

HRV · 4 December 2012, 01:27 AM

Chopped54 · 4 December 2012, 01:31 AM

And the winning bid goes too.....

My buddy has two Breitlings that look about the same, tacky as hell!

Kingair · 4 December 2012, 01:31 AM

Hopefully my wife didn't buy it for me . . . . :-(

I would be really disappointed . . . and I mean it !

This is not a Rolex anymore for me . . . sorry . . .

There is no way I would have that on my arm. Talk about wanting to bring attention to yourself

eric23 · 4 December 2012, 01:33 AM

That is some crazy bling!

meloncap78 · 4 December 2012, 01:34 AM

Wow! Hands have been cut short, not the best setting job, just........ well it's an abomination. To be politically correct though, I apologize to anyone whose taste I may have offended.

Rogdogg · 4 December 2012, 01:41 AM

That is awful. Some people have no taste whatsoever.
I'd agree with meloncap78 above. The setting is attrocious.
All I can hope is that the person who bought it actually intends to break it down into it's parts and make other jewelry from all of the diamonds and the melted gold from the watch.
In the right jewelers hands it could have been a very good investment after a little work.
Please god anyway.

rolexperfect · 4 December 2012, 01:42 AM

pathetic, but well again, you gotta let them be, there's a market for every product, and you sadly get to see these kinds of "creations" sometimes, gross and ugly

ralpie · 4 December 2012, 01:44 AM

The diamonds look like they were photoshopped on. Do you think they photoshopped it and said if anybody is nuts enough to buy it, we'll make it for them?

Trouble15 · 4 December 2012, 01:45 AM

Not a fan. Also, the diamonds don't appear set very well.

padi56 · 4 December 2012, 01:45 AM

Looks to me like a watch someone would buy having more money than sense.

Mephist · 4 December 2012, 01:46 AM

This might come as a shock to most of you, but that is just not my cup of tea.

memphis88888 · 4 December 2012, 01:52 AM

It's ugly! Rather a Daytona or Patek Philippe. This is to much bling bling for me.

hijo de la luna · 4 December 2012, 01:57 AM

It doesn't look legit to me? The day looks off.

That was the first thing I noticed. Not only are the diamonds not set well, they don't all match. For that kind of money and for how small those diamonds must be they should at least match and be set properly. Maybe someone owned this and blinged it up and then pawned it and now it was sold by this company. I don't know. I don't believe Rolex did this. I can't believe they would let something like this sell in one of their stores.

Richmond1958 · 4 December 2012, 02:04 AM

Maybe this is going to be used as attempted "evidence" of value when the watch suddenly goes missing and someone files a claim with insurance (probably not realizing the limits on their coverage for this sort of thing)?

sms715 · 4 December 2012, 02:05 AM

damn, how did my watch get out of my sight?? i thought my wrist felt significantly lighter...

Glenn422 · 4 December 2012, 02:06 AM

I'd get a patek at that price..A nautilus chrono to be exact..and still have leftover!

bungcarlo · 4 December 2012, 02:12 AM
