Were the box and papers included in the sale price?

I'd genuinely struggle to tell the time on that watch. Then again I doubt the person who bought it cares what time it is.
Rolex won't touch it for servicing, poor diamonds, poor setting of said diamonds and I think that the day wheel may be aftermarket. When I think of the things that could of been done with that 75k, makes me wonder how these people got rich in the first place. |

I had a boss that always said, "For every seat there is an ass". Remembering that has kept me out of a lot of trouble

Ugh, there's a lot of fail here.....ruining a great watch (IMO), paying $75k for that, transacting on ebay for that much money.

Not a good looking watch IMO.
On the other hand, I've seen ones directly from Rolex that aren't that different in terms of the number of jewels, especially at the Rolex Boutiques. |

At least the settings for the diamonds on a factory one look the part - this just looks like a bombsite

While Beckertime is well known, they are also well known for selling genuine watches with aftermarket bracelets. They do advertise these aftermarket parts...do you know if this one has a genuine bracelet? For that kind of money I'd be looking at getting a Patek. The bling is definitely not my thing.

Horribly done unlike factory diamonds which don't change the whole watches appearance. Looks crap

The day doesn't look right to me for one thing.
But even if the watch is legitimate, it is an outright hatchet job.

A whole lot of diamonds indeed! Whilst I enjoy seeing stones on watches I must agree with a few people above and say the job doesn't seem to be that well done on it, hence the funny look it gives to the watch. Besides, I'm not the biggest fan of baguette diamonds on bezels so I think I would have felt much better had they been simple round cut ones.
Ah well, different strokes for different folks! I hope the person who bought this watch will be happy!

Damn...outbid at the last moment by Mon
Don't return it, just send it over here and I'll replace the dial and bracelet for you friend PS: You keep the bezel - it won't fit my Root Beer!
