Ah, the old Leopard Daytona rears it's ugly head again. This watch has actually been kicking around for about 3-4 years now. It was the first of the really bling Rolex made watches.

I talked to the Rolex UK guy in London a while back and he said he had sold two of them - both to women.

There's no accounting for taste.

If I tell then everyone will want one. A man has to have something to wear out on the town on a Saturday night.

Mahra, who has posted a few times on this forum, is a young woman from Dubai. She wears one. I think she posts on TKF now.

I may be the only one, but i think it would look amazing on the right woman/outfit.

I personally wouldn't wear it, but i think its very unique. I think its way better looking than an airking.. <flame suit on> lol

I guess that watch goes over pretty well in Dubai. Oh, and probably in Las Vegas and anywhere in New Jersey. Havens of good taste, they are.

Icon6 Yup, I'd wear it!

I wouldn't pay 45,000 for it, but I certainly wouldn't return it if somebody gave it to me

You have a very valid point. I suppose Catherine Zeta Jones wearing stockings, suspenders & lap dancer shoes might just get away with a LD!

Hey, you insulting NEW JERSEY??? They ran a contest a while back for a tourism slogan. One of the losing entries was, "Come visit New Jersey. It's not as bad as it smells."

I couldn't stand that watch until I saw Mahra's pics and it looked great on her! I truly think it is a watch that needs the right wearer...you wear the watch instead of the watch wearing you!

I'd wear one...for the time it took me to flip all that ice for a nice shiny Calatrava!

I love it
Think of all the fun you could have with that Puppy.
It always gets the house roaring here by just posting a pic.
It is really not that obnoxious in real life...
with spiked heals of course.

If a female was wearing a turd on her wrist you would get all lubie.

Hey, next time you drop the soap in the prison shower, don't have strings attached.

I spoke with someone who saw this "in person". Their comment was that from a jewelry standpoint the quality and match of the stones was superb.
