Scourge of the Daytona World



And it can be yours for a mere US $43,850.00 (but act now - supplies are thankfully limited).

Heck, I don't think even Mike Tyson would wear that thing (although I could be wrong)!

In all fairness to that watch, just do TWO things to make it look good....lose the strap and replace it with the original YG bracelet....lose that ugly spotted dial and replace it with a nice MOP (without those stupid spots, of course)...and we could have a winner....plenty of BLING, but a winner nevetheless!!

Really just one serious question, can you still compute DRT with the jeweled bezel?

If it had a bit more "bling" I might be a starter on it.

No, no. Its a "full Rolex factory baguette Cognac Sapphire bezel"! I would suppose that they carefully pour Rémy Martin directly into each and every lovely "full factory baguette sapphire" to create the totally overstated gauche of a watch perfect to be worn by 50 Cent when he visits Madame Le Fue's House of Pleasures!

Stuff like that really ticks me off! I seriosly doubt those are 100% authentic, I only saw one that even looked close to being real. I was looking through his gallery, and he is displaying the older pearlmaster box, he says these are 2006 models, BS! Anyway, I just hate fakes, I see them everyday. There's nothing like breaking a ladies heart when I have to tell her that her husband/boyfriend gave her a fake.....

I know what you mean, Val. But I actually believe that this is a factory Rolex Daytona model, one of the infamous "Crown Collection" of highly expensive, jewel-encrusted monstrosities that are fit only for the Bling-Bling crowd (this one may actually be too hideous even for them).

This watch is so ugly that I doubt the guy attempting to sell it will EVER be successful. I doubt the price has anything to do with it. He would do better to hawk it on a street corner for $29.95, just to get the thing out of his life.

BTW, have you noticed that the "Leopard marks" on the dial look surprisingly like a Rorschach test???
