For $600,000.00, that better not be Stainless Steel.

Almost every adjective has been used in this thread, but unless I missed it I'm gonna call shotgun on hideous.

I think that is actually the epitome of technological innovation.
I don't know if anyone has ever seen a master jeweler pave' setting diamonds, however it is the most tedious method. For those unfamiliar with this setting technique, pave' setting are the round diamonds set with beads on the case and edges of the bracelet. I would guess that setting this many diamonds, in this high of quality (as evidenced by the GREAT close up pictures by Jocke) would take a MASTER setter about a year to complete (eight hours a day, five days a week). High quality pave' work as seen here could be guaranteed for life against stone loss as opposed to mass produced style bead setting. I respect this watch and actually think that it is beautiful! That said, I would not wear it...but my wifey would!!!

IMO, watches like this give Rolex a bad name.

I had a GMT "ICE" sitting on my wrist, only this Saturday just gone.
Unfortunately I wasn't allowed totake any photos, but was told that the MRSP had gone up by £13,000 to £269,500 That the price of a new DD!!! It was great to say that I have worn one, but even if I could afford one!!!, it wouldn't be for me.

Great pics......very silly watch, but I guess every company goes "over the top" with some product once in a while...nice thing is there's always something for everyone's taste.....I can just imagine that on some rappers wrist, on the outside of his drysuit, getting ready to jump into the ocean someplace off the LA coast.....sharkbait...gha

Completely absurd, IMHO.
Also, completely impractical. But would the owner care? Of course not... SNB |

How...does the bezel and GMT function work on that?
"Erm..it must be 5 diamonds in Jakarta now..." ROFL...also, all those screwed under the bracelet - ewww... Looks like if you unscrew 'em you can remove the baguette diamonds...
