Hey unique piece. Not for everyone but definitely a sight to behold

I also don't mind this one either, though I wouldn't buy and wear it myself...

It is sad that the words ROLEX and UGLY need to be used in the same sentence. But in this case, it was necessary.

I've only seen this in the wild once, on the wrist of a Sheikh whose part of an investment firm that owns a major hotel chain. Was not surprised...

This is definitely the Dubai / Saudi / Chinese market!

Yes!!! You may dare to say!!! That is quite UGLY!!!

I'm Mr. President, and I approve this message!

For folks with more money than sense!

Seen a few in real life.. Not as bad especially when it is on a brown or black leather. j

Remember Rolex is a great watch with great brand recognition but their models appeal to all different diversities of people. Although most of us would not be interested in or even afford the leopard there is a market for it. Word up!

[Rock]

Anything (the Leopard) that outrageous goes from being an offence against good taste to being just a really 'fun' item. You could see that on Elvis or Liberace, couldn't you.
It would look great on a lot of beautiful show-biz women.
Makes me smile.

Not a fan of that Daytona

Rolex wtf

I can see Jonny Depp wearing that one as well and on him it will look great, all though proabaly anything will look good on Jack Sparrow. . "There should be a captain on there some where" lol but on most it would be an attempt to draw attention to your wealth status

Well the "not so good design moments" will depend on the people who look at them, wouldn't it? I'm sure a lot of people find them pretty beautiful. When it comes to what one finds beautiful and ugly, it's always down to that person's opinion and tastes.

Personally I'd see a lot of people wearing them (myself included, like I posted above) and the attempt to draw attention to one's wealth status wouldn't be my thought if I ever saw one on somebody's wrist. Frankly I think most people would do that with any car, clothes brand, watch or jewelry, it doesn't have to be very flashy and in fact (to me, at the very least) I've seen many more people myself who believed in status symbols with simpler watches than that.

Some will always try to show others how wealthy and successful they are, they don't need the Leopard Daytona or the diamond dial Day-Date for that and I'm sure those haven't been created for that purpose. In fact, I think Rolex uses such lines and publicity for the Submariner C or the GMT-IIc much more than their more blingy models.

Buchwald's in Miami a few yrs ago

Presumably these are 'aftermarket' and not mainstream Rolex products!
