While Beckertime is well known, they are also well known for selling genuine watches with aftermarket bracelets. They do advertise these aftermarket parts...do you know if this one has a genuine bracelet? For that kind of money I'd be looking at getting a Patek. The bling is definitely not my thing.

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...??!!?

Not for me though, even if money was no object.

I'd genuinely struggle to tell the time on that watch. Then again I doubt the person who bought it cares what time it is.

Rolex won't touch it for servicing, poor diamonds, poor setting of said diamonds and I think that the day wheel may be aftermarket.

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...

Ugh, there's a lot of fail here.....ruining a great watch (IMO), paying $75k for that, transacting on ebay for that much money.

Not a good looking watch IMO.

On the other hand, I've seen ones directly from Rolex that aren't that different in terms of the number of jewels, especially at the Rolex Boutiques.

At least the settings for the diamonds on a factory one look the part - this just looks like a bombsite

Horribly done unlike factory diamonds which don't change the whole watches appearance. Looks crap
