Icon12 “Graceful elegance”...the Rolex way

One might question the choice of words “graceful” or “elegance”, but there’s no denying the beauty or craftsmanship (IMO).

Well said, and there are those for whom the beauty is not undeniable.

Let's just say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is shiny, though (maybe even Shiny and Chrome).

Have to agree but admire the skill needed to set all those precious stones,but not a fan of any diamond watches, suppose they make them because they can.

Nothing graceful or elegant about that watch. Blingy and in your face. JMO.

Are you sure you are talking about the elegance of the watches?

They could all wear the Rolex in question and still be full of elegance.

One thing that owners of full gemset models won’t be posting here on TRF is “desk swirls on my clasp/links”

The ultimate scratch protector.
