Haven't seen them anywhere.

Thank God.

I'm guessing the people that wear those would call them "Rollies;" and therefore, wouldn't visit this site! Haha

Actually I think they look nice for what they're supposed to be, I wouldn't wear them myself but the job looks well done.

If you had G5 monetary status you'd surely see more of them. I think these pieces are pure eye candy.

In the Middle East region, you can spot these watches. I have seen them in Dubai and Kuwait

I noticed there is no depth rating. I guess you wouldn't dive in one of these anyway. Unless that is your Scuba Tank is blinged out to match!

Not surprised by that...a region known for it's sophistication and good taste!

To each his own. Not more or less sophisticated than the leopard daytona or many other models used by people all over the world and not only in middle east, china, etc. Judging people is what makes us worth less than the watch we wear.

The first one would go great with my fairway green Adidas track suit and my WG chain.

I'm wondering, if diamonds were lost during a dive would it be covered under the warranty?

I totally agree. Personally not my style but you have to give credit in terms of setting these stones on stainless steel. From my understanding it's much harder than setting in gold.

First one looks good IMO. Would prefer it with PCL rather than diamond center links.
