Why do Rolex owners hate diamonds
I bought this watch to wear for awhile because it was a good price figured I could unload it whenever I wanted - honestly might keep it I legitimately enjoy wearing it can't describe why. I've never seen a piece like this before and it's turkey something coming from someone who simply just loves a black no date submariner

Watches like this get loads of hate and negative feedback, but I never understood why. It doesn't much bother me I love the watch but people are so quick to bash someone's post with the typical "you murdered a Rolex" or a GIF with a cartoon character stabbing its eyes out LMAO.

ANYWAY I've found a new love to bust down watches but I think I'd only buy ones that are modeled after factory Rolex pieces or extremely clean watches

Would I swap 8 of my grandchildren for a Pt DayDate with baguettes?

Would I?



Only if I got to choose the 8.

Yes, OP admits he bought a regular black GMT that was affixed with bulk aftermarket diamonds to look like a real 116769TBR

Almost all aftermarket fully bust down watches are too ugly or obnoxious to actually wear for most people. I still don't really understand the majority of your post. You do you though!
