116300 new owner

[Buny]

Hello folks,

I just purchased a 116300, with an "aftermarket" diamond bezel/dial, hope you like it:

Sorry not my cup of tea even if they were a genuine Rolex dial and bezel, and looks like quite poor font details on dial especially on what looks like peppetual should be perpetual

Hi and welcome to TRF(even though you have been here a little while)...I like your watch but I'm not to keen on the diamond bezel either...but the more I look at it the more it is growing on me!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

The bling is too much for my taste.
But whatever makes you happy. Congrats!

Welcome and congrats!
Not a fan myself, but whatever floats your boat

Too much bling, but it's your watch and if it makes you happy then that's all that matters.

congrats and enjoy.

Hope you enjoy this watch. Make sure to keep the original dial and bezel just incase you decide to sell it in the future. Those parts will help you restore the watch to original.

I don't mine the dial dial but dislike the dial bezel, but whatever makes you happy... it's your watch.
Congrats on the pickup!!

Good advice. Nice piece, the diamond dial looks good, the bezel is a little much for my taste. However, as long as you like it that's all that matters! It's a great reference, congrats!!!

Everything looks off on this piece. I hope you didn't pay too much for it. Or are you testing us?

I paid $11,500, it has a 4CT Diamond Bezel (seen that on the bezel TAG)... brand new with boxes I asked to change dial/bezel.

Peppetual??? People noticed this mistake in the other thread. Just thought I'd bring everyone up to date here.

Two threads on the same subject is two times more than I care to see of this dial. Hideous, stupid error.

[Syed117]

Everyone has their own tastes and that's fine, but I don't understand why someone would swap out an original dial for an aftermarket one that is of such poor quality.

Liking the diamonds and all that is fine if that's your thing, but at least get something that looks somewhat decent and doesn't have misspelled and poorly printed text. I'm sure there are much higher quality aftermarket dials available. Or ideally, couldn't you just get an original Rolex dial with diamonds?

[crowncollection]

the dial is horrible i have to agree with others, it is simpoly not rolex quality or style and the font error ans speling error ? that dial would end up in a bin, it simply makes your watch look like a fake, i am sorry to say that, but it does, i like diamonds, the bezel is a matter of personal taste, i see nothing wrong with it other that it makes the watch disproportional it's is simply to big and in a setting rolex do not use, but that is a mater of taste

[Rameez-Q]

the magnification looks off to
probably fake no matter how many carat it is
what jeweller would put that dial in and what idiot would wear that

[Buny]

The magnification looks fake? this guy is a friend of my family and sells all kind of watches, the dial and bezel aftermarket of course the watch is not and i appreciate the comments even if some are a bit aggresive!

here is also a video of it http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FFf-zecCnkI&feature=plcp

That much for something that is spelled incorrectly? Something doesn't add up.
