I asked the owner, he said I was jealous because I did not have $40,000 on my wrist :)

That right there would have me moving on the next one. I choose who I do business with carefully.

At least the setting is period correct.

dieselgeek · 4 August 2012, 04:50 AM

I can't tell from the photo, but the date wheel seemed off as well as the magnifier.

Seems so. And the ink is rubbing of on Day Date ??

Maybe it's a low res pic

Not my cup of tea anyway. Would prefer a WG daytona and a SS sub instead , for 40k.

MonBK · 4 August 2012, 05:37 AM

I think it's a real DD with genuine dial, added after market diamonds and an aftermarket bezel.

On a sidenote, a realistic price would be 5.5k give or take.

Has Rolex ever made a Bark bracelet like that? I thought bark was for the center links? Also it's not horizontal!

dieselgeek · 4 August 2012, 05:44 AM

So that bark is legit? I've never seen it like that.

Silvio Mosiello · 4 August 2012, 06:22 AM

The date font sits to high in the wheel.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 4 August 2012, 06:30 AM

"MONDAY" is not properly aligned in the day window.

AmbSteve · 4 August 2012, 07:15 AM

I've never seen a Bark President with the grooves on the outer links (only the inner links). Also, I don't recall the grooves carrying over to the case as well as the bracelet. Also, why are the grooves vertical instead of horizontal? Definitely not my cup of tea either with all of those "diamonds" on it.

robertneville · 4 August 2012, 07:28 AM

I don't like it.

onions · 4 August 2012, 07:42 AM

A ladies watch? :-)

crowncollection · 4 August 2012, 08:42 AM

Rolex has never made a bark watch like this, the centre links are bark on the band as well as the bezel usually. The case is not bark finished usually secondly,the bark is the wrong direction. This is very bad custom work looks horrible. The dial is not original the diamonds were added the date and day wheel are misaligned shonky watchmaker last serviced it, so it would need to be done again IMHO, pass on the watch

Of course I agree that Rolex didn't do it but this was popular in the 70's and 80's specially in Texas and I've seen a lot of them made this way.

Looks like somebody took a grinder to a cheap aftermarket gold plated bracelet.

playero · 6 August 2012, 02:41 AM

is that JRs watch from Dallas

mbuckley · 7 August 2012, 06:05 AM

If that thing is worth 40K I would be quite surprised---just not a nice watch for my money, at almost any price.

azguy · 8 August 2012, 02:30 AM

It's a bad custom job

BNA/LION · 8 August 2012, 02:49 AM
