Good Price?
Hey guys, I was wondering if these "custom" rolex's are worth it, I dont know to much about them but these looks very nice, but don't go for to much. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Maybe these actually hurt the retail value?

they use lots of aftermarket parts... dials, bracelets, who knows the quality of those diamonds?
You really don't know what you're getting with them. If you want a blinged out Rolex, start by buying a 100% authentic rolex from a trusted seller -- then bling it till your heart's content. |

Definitely go with authentic Rolex. I would stay away from those diamond and gem covered Rolexes. They are not worth it value wise.

If you like the look, I guess you could go for it but know that it will all be "one-way" money. If you ever decide to flip the watch, it likely will only be of interest to someone with the same taste as you.

Don't do it. Buy a Rolex model that best suits your desire. I wouldn't do anything to a Rolex that can't be undone. Styles will change in a few years, and you'll be left with a dated custom watch that nobody wears, or wants to buy.

Negative... Too many variables - Are the diamonds real? If so, quality? Authentic Rolex? If so, Authentic Rolex parts? I wouldn't do it.
