LOL, if someone could afford to have all that work done, it could have at least been to a high standard. Have seen that watch quite a few times now.

I like this one. No way in heck would I ever wear it, but I'm not a drug lord either.

Apart from the man's taste (but it was his money) the work itself is very poorly executed. Uneven, file markings, lacklustre stones used, etc.

I think I just threw up in my mouth! Take a look at those nice cloudy diamonds. If you look close I think it has a nugget bracelet on it too.

All the stones etc. on a classic are bad enough but to put actual gold nuggets on the dial defies the realm of bad taste beyond all measure. Really, GOLD NUGGETS as markers???
