Eish! No racism here.

what he said.

If I can't laugh at someone who struggles to keep their pants up in public, what can I laugh at?

On a serious note. A watch with that much bling (if real) would cost you a wheel barrow load of money. If the seller isn't insisting you sell a kidney or a child to purchase it, then that would be the first red flag.

If you get your hands on it, you need to take it to a jeweller and have every one of the "diamonds" inspected by an expert. All diamonds are not created equal, and only an expert can give you a realistic evaluation. Photos on an internet site are unlikely to give you the information you need to make an informed choice.

Hopefully that will be of more help and stop this thread degrading any further.

Oh, and Darwinism isn't about inferiority, it's about evolution. The implication being those who can run fast or escape survive and procreate. Those who are hobbled by their own pants may not be so lucky.

Relax and get that watch inspected by an expert.

As with any authentication, the only true way is to have an authorized dealer inspect the whole watch and then open the back to ensure the movement is legit.

Good luck!

And yeah, that watch would be pretty pricey so if the deal is too good, it probably is.

Let's keep this nice.

The "rapper" comment wasn't clever.

The bezel is aftermarket and will cost £££££ to put correct. That dial isn't in the Rolex dial catalogue so I'd suggest a DIY diamond insertion, making it a no-no as far as residual value is concerned.

My gut feeling is that the watch itself may be genuine (pics don't help) but it's value is low due to the need for a proper dial and bezel.

I agree and wouldn't pay over $23,000 for it.

Agree with welshwatchman and Mon get more pics and don't pay too much it at the very least has problems with dial and the bezel.

You do whatever you want. It is obviously you that has a hate problem.
