Afraid that, is no longer worthy enough to even bare the Daytona name alone the name Cosmograph.But nothing more now than a huge profit for Rolex.Now that is one of the very very small percentage of watches, that are mostly asembled by hand

You'd have to be careful not to get frost bite wearing all of that ice.

Now THAT is a killer watch! Rolex doesn't get much better for me than a WG Daytona with meteorite dial and red sub-hands.

I guess I missed something, but I think that is the most awesome watch and does the plain expensive boring looking Daytona justice. Wish I could afford it

The watch was designed as a Chronograph to record elapsed time on a tachymetric bezel, which is no longer visible so making the watch useless for its intended task. IMO if you want diamonds like that buy a bracelet not a watch. |

That watch is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over-priced!
I hold a shared belief that diamonds are over-rated, over-priced, and in general.........................worthless! The value of diamonds is artificially inflated based on the monopoly of a few companies that mine these things. Platinum and gold are the way to go. These are true precious metals and are a highly valued, shared commodity used to "rank" a countries economy amongst other nations. The biggest mistake the US ever made was getting off the "gold-standard". Diamond prices are by no means stable. Tomorrow someone could decide that they are worthless! |

De Beor's did a real good job 40 years ago pulling the wool over women's eyes saying "If HE really loved you, he'd buy you a diamond" in their advertisments. WHAT A CON! Everytime I see/hear a woman brag about her diamond ring/neckless/earings the first thing out of my mouth is "Did you see the new movie Blood Diamond?". As for companies claiming their diamonds are from "blood-free" zones, that's a bunch of malarky also. A professional miner told a news program a couple months back that 75% of all diamonds that end up on jewellery comes from places where villages are terrorized/forced into mining these things for local militia. Also, as diamonds do not have so called "finger-prints", once the diamond is mined and shipped out, it's impossible to verify where exactly in the world it came from. |

i brought mine because it would be a better investment compared to a casio plus i need a dress watch and people around me tend to appreciated stuff like these. the guy who got my watch for me had the mentality of "more is better" when it comes to diamonds on his rolex . |

Way too busy for me. And that major bling factor can get a little "dangerous" depending on where you go when you wear it.

I wore one just like it to the MTV awards, it matches my teeth (Full Grill). I express my sense of style in strange ways.
