That's like putting a sparkly collar on a pit bull. You just don't do it.

I like gems and diamonds, but these do seem out of place.

Really?



Actually it is not a "street-walker" impress Rolex; it is to impress those that hang out at the bar or slot machines.

P.S. Rolex USA has on display a genuine factory Daytona that would put anything that seller even dreamed of to shame.

O.K.

From a jewelers stand point..

The stones are poorly cut, and don't match each other these were set in a bezel made from a crude casting process. Notice how the stones are of different shapes, and the facets are all crooked. These are hand cut in a third world factory. Poor stone quality, bad cut. The black diamonds are a diamond mine nightmare, until now. I wouldn't pay for them. Nice try, but from from a cheap manufacturing process from start to finish.

Looks like the seller likes a little "bling" with his Rolexes.

The seller admits to those with eyes to see that the bezel is what you say.

What is your professional opinion of this?

Whats funny about this watch for me is that there is no pattern to the diamonds they just decided that they would cover every part of the watch regardless of what it would look like,i wouldn't be surprised if the back was covered to,lovely pink 6&9 markers,buyer would have to wear sunglasses to read the time!its one of the most ostentatious watches i have ever seen!another pimp my watch!
