6ct Diamond Bezel GMT, wow!

I am not sure if this is a sin, or awesome, can't make up my mind. Its kind of strange to put this bezel on a sport model Rolex, but something about it just works at the same time.

Would not touch it with a 10ft barge pole thats not a factory bezel and would doubt if Rolex would have serviced it with that bezel.

They'll service it alright. Keep the diamonds and put it back to original condition.

Definitely not for everyone especially with the aftermarket bezel, however, this somewhat reminds me of my 18946 without the Platinum and Masterpiece bracelet. Not entirely horrible...

I'm not normally one for aftermarket mods to a watch, an certainly not into blinged out ones... but in all honesty that one looks alright.

By replacing the numbers with diamonds, your second time zone is always set to pimpin'

hmmmm , I wonder if anyone had thought of buying the watch and getting a replacement bezel/insert and than cannibalizing the diamonds in it for an investment or a custom piece.

Wow way too much bling for me. Looks way too feminine for my taste.

based on what I see this discussion should be taking place on the deBeers forum not on TRF.

I'm assuming he put that thing on after it came back from service.
