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 would generally struggle to look at that watch...

Not the best of executions. The view of the date is obstructed and the T in Thursday is not visible in the window.

When it comes to blinged Rolex, there are varying shades of ugliness and this has to be on the extreme upper end.

Still, like the iced GMT, iced Sub or Leopard Daytona, there is presumably a market for such watches, albeit a very small one. Undoubtedly the profit margin must be large.

Shame they covered up some of the day and date (or so it appears in the pic)

In fact, just a shame really. Now, I wonder if the RSC would return it to factory spec...??!!?

i actually don't mind the concentric diamond rings with black center and shortened hands. not my style at all, but, if you're into that sort of thing, it's okay i suppose.

I agree, it's not that bad a dial job.

I should mention that nobody actually bought the watch, the listing ended with no buyer.

You are right - I thought someone bought it but it just "ended" but for kicks here is the listing if anyone wants to look at all angles of the watch
