Some sugar
At one point I was thinking of running away with this watch, but then I realized that I can not run that fast, so I only made some pictures of the watch (Price incl. VAT 137.000 EUR).
Many thanx @Gassan Rolex Butique Amsterdam for a nice day and hospitality....

Each to his own, but I can't work out why Rolex ices out watches with practical bezels. I mean, what use is a diamond bezel on a Daytona or, especially, a GMT-Master?

I think it is made to accomodate a small part of the cliantele. No use what so ever, just for the looks...

Platinum and diamonds indeed heavy. I do not know the exact weight but it feels like at least two SUBS on the wrist.

and, in many ways, better readability than the SS models (unless in direct sun, i suppose ).

Yeah, kind of the anti-tool watch. Very decadent.

A lot of people don't use the tachymeter but still use a chronograph...

Anyway the owner can still use the bezel to measure how much money they would have earned in an hour, represented as diamonds

The watch in person is something to behold. It is an absolute masterpiece and is creeping into my list.

My two ADs both have one in stock and both have me pegged. The wife is 100% opposed and is the reason why it remains not in my safe. It is just so awesome in the flesh!

It would make a nice couple, the Leopard and this one

Sorry but I think it blows. That's a chronograph, and its bezel has a practical use. Same with the bedazzled GMT Masters. Maybe bling does have a place but that sure isn't it.

Hey, Adam. I replied without reading all of the posts first. Looks like once again we think alike, though.

This is way out of my price range for a watch, but if I had 137.000 EUR to spend on a watch I would take multiple watches or something complicated from (ALS/PATEK/JOUNRE). I do agree that it looks awesome in the flesh.. but def. not for everyone to wear..
