Hopefully this won't be the next John Mayer 116508 piece because Elton John was recently wearing it...

That’s a great review.

“So I suppose if you have money, like watches, and don’t take yourself too seriously, this is a great watch as a daily beater”.

Although the watches are absolutely ghastly, the gems and setting are unreal. Truly beautiful.

Not a fan of the dial configuration but Rolex really nails their gem settings. Fantastically executed pieces if that's your thing.

Not my taste but I can see its uniqueness.

How shall we call it? Orange Lantern? Captain Citrus?

I used to hate all these gem set watches, but they are growing on me. I like the Daytona rainbow and this is very cool too.

A stunner. As much as I like vibrant and vivid colors, I think the uniform orange stoned bezel is more wearable compared to the rainbow.

Something to keep in mind is the factory gem set Rolex are the only models that can be considered hand finished as the stones are hand picked by Master gemologists based on cut and color then set to perfection by Master gemsetters
