The day doesn't look right to me for one thing.

But even if the watch is legitimate, it is an outright hatchet job.

Not done in good taste & the day display doesn't appear to be centered

A whole lot of diamonds indeed! Whilst I enjoy seeing stones on watches I must agree with a few people above and say the job doesn't seem to be that well done on it, hence the funny look it gives to the watch. Besides, I'm not the biggest fan of baguette diamonds on bezels so I think I would have felt much better had they been simple round cut ones.

Ah well, different strokes for different folks! I hope the person who bought this watch will be happy!

Damn...outbid at the last moment by Mon

Don't return it, just send it over here and I'll replace the dial and bracelet for you friend

PS: You keep the bezel - it won't fit my Root Beer!

i actually don't mind the concentric diamond rings with black center and shortened hands. not my style at all, but, if you're into that sort of thing, it's okay i suppose.

I agree, it's not that bad a dial job.

I should mention that nobody actually bought the watch, the listing ended with no buyer.

You are right - I thought someone bought it but it just "ended" but for kicks here is the listing if anyone wants to look at all angles of the watch
