I have an early 90's men's Presidential yellow gold18K Rolex with a factory diamond bezel. I want to add a little more "bling" by adding a band with diamonds. Do you think this is a good or bad idea? Is it OK to consider after market or how can I find an original band with diamonds?

Thanks for all suggestions.

Not my cup of tea at all.

Same here. Will not consider diamonds.

MSRP is at least $50K for a fully loaded stock and original President Band with Diamonds.
Model 84208A.
Here are a couple of pictures.
Each link has 9 diamonds.
25 links total.
So there are 225 little sparkling diamonds in there.
Not sure of the carat weight.

To each their own as this would not be my cup of tea either... Sorry.

That's a remarkable picture right there. I prefer my President solid gold, but to each their own sorta thing.

Not my cup of tea just like my watches plain SS, but like diamond rings.

LOVE IT! But would have to be white.

I think it would look great with the diamond bezel but I'm not sure Rolex will put you a factory diamond bracelet on your watch, they only put it on watches that can actually come with it (according to their catalog). Having said that, it never hurts to ask them!

I'm not usually a fan of aftermarket or custom pieces on a watch but if you wish to find one I think King Tafari would be of great help as well!

P.S.: Would you consider a diamond dial as well? Perhaps for the markers at least?

Wow, that's some bling!

I count 12 diamonds per link, though.

MonBK · 3 March 2012, 06:10 AM

They can be found on e-bay.

mtrunner · 3 March 2012, 06:12 AM

Some serious bling. Not my thing but if you like diamonds that would look stunning.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 3 March 2012, 06:17 AM

If you like it go for it. But, I must ask - why?

You are right!
What was I thinking?
Thanks for correcting my serious error.
Now I have to go back to Math 101...

rad87gn · 3 March 2012, 07:48 AM

The cost of a new genuine Rolex diamond bracelet is insane IMHO!

EchoBlueUK · 3 March 2012, 08:29 AM

Bad idea. Diamonds and blokes don't mix imho.
