I personally love gold watches!! I realize this is not very popular here on TRF. I swapped the diamond bezel for a Rolex OEM doom bezel on this one. Swap it back every once in a while. Looking for a Platty DD next !

The top one is from an independent Swiss manufacturer called Louis Moinet. I had the pleasure meeting the CEO / Owner of the company a month ago. That piece alone is close to 475K swiss francs, has dinosaur bones and leather hence why is expensive! The other two are from MB&F an another independent. These are fricking gorgeous in person and they are going to be in a boutique here in Perth that will be opening up by a second hand / new watch dealer here in Perth in the next few weeks.We as the Rolex boys know the people work there and the owner as well. They let me play with their watches whenever I am there which is often. They are going to start charging me rent!

Beautiful watches everyone.


My humble offering. My 18kt rose bold Baume and Mercier Riviera. The terrible picture I took, does not do the watch justice.

Hello,
I don't mean to be rude, but do the Yacht Master II really go for MSRP $120,000 USD?
Would that make it the most expensive current Rolex on the market?

Thanks.

What Ken said, I always like playing jokes on Rob while egging him onto getting another piece. The retail on the Wg ym2 is a little over forty, but like many precious metal pieces, one can negotiate a much bigger discount then on steel.

I believe the most expensive rolexes are some from the masterpiece collection that can approach 400k. These are generally platinum but you wouldn't know it as they are covered in jewels.

I do work in a jewellery store, I don't work at the Rolex AD though. We are the same owners as the AD.
