Hello everyone,

I recently came across a Rolex nicknamed the "SUPER PRESIDENT".
Basically, a "SUPER PRESIDENT" is a variation of the "PRESIDENT" models that include both diamond lugs and band in addition to the diamond dial and bezel.

Are the diamonds a symbol of power or femininity?
Which one would you choose 1 or 2?
Would it be in yellow or white gold?

HL65 · 25 September 2011, 09:24 AM

Ughhh neither sorry! Just see nothing nice about either- 2 ruined Rolex IMHO. Welcome to TRF!!

sleddog · 25 September 2011, 09:26 AM

For me, less is more!

dddrees · 25 September 2011, 09:27 AM

Welcome to TRF.

Neither as well, just not my cup of tea.

Agree. Way too much bling for me.

jcourant · 25 September 2011, 09:30 AM

Are you a famous rapper? Otherwise, no.

bayerische · 25 September 2011, 09:31 AM

Hmmm...

Both lack diamonds IMHO.... Could be more and bigger diamonds.

Less is more. Maybe a Ferrari?

BarkMaster · 25 September 2011, 09:37 AM

To answer your question, bligning out would be a power statement; not one of femininity.

Not a fan of the pave dials, but the diamond markers look nice.

I personally don't care at all for the ice on the lugs, bracelet, etc.

Dr.Brian · 25 September 2011, 09:37 AM

Obviously, number 2 with the bracelet from one. And a nice 3ct pinky ring to tie it all together. Platinum would be best.
Bling, bling, biatch!

Hahah, YEAAHH!! BLING IS GOOD!!

However, I'm not a famous rapper and this would not be my only Rolex.
I want something that's eye catching but still has understated class.

What do you guys think of this one?

Just get a non-bling version with diamond markers. Or perhaps a metorite dial!

brownbear · 25 September 2011, 09:50 AM

oh Have Mercy...
why so drab?.. Don't they have a diamond date wheel to liven them up a bit..

brownbear · 25 September 2011, 09:52 AM

the Meteorite dial looks great. Wish I could put one on my DD

I'd take this one in YG. Of the first 2 I'd take the first one. I don't like pave diamonds.

Almost like Dr. Brian: #2's bracelet with #1's case. Of course IMHO I wouldn't get any of those since I'm not a very blingy watch fan but if I HAD to choose...

...Geez life's getting hard!

The Joker · 25 September 2011, 10:09 AM

The legibility on the 2nd is really poor, so I'd pick the first. More of a tool watch look.

East Bay Rider · 25 September 2011, 10:14 AM

It's certainly not understated but of the 2 in the original post I prefer #1.
I also say that if you can afford it and make it look natural then go for it.

BNA/LION · 25 September 2011, 10:15 AM

Go with the diamond dial and maybe the bezel but all the other diamonds are too much. IMHO

How does any men's watch with diamonds = understated class?!

Looks great (even though it's not bark

)

Hleo1 · 25 September 2011, 10:30 AM

For me I think it is a very beautiful watch, but can't really use for daily wear at all

That is the first gold DD I've seen with diamond markers - it looks really nice!

I just ordered the same in WG...

BarkMaster · 25 September 2011, 10:34 AM

I love diamonds as much as the next guy / gal, but too much of anything and it becomes a distraction instead of an embellishment.

Welshwatchman · 25 September 2011, 10:51 AM

If you really want to "climb the Rolex tree" I'd suggest one of these two:

Classic 36mm

I like Diamonds on a watch, I would happily wear a GMT Ice everyday.

vette boy 52 · 25 September 2011, 11:04 AM

TOO much bling for me. I think a diamond dial on a Day-Date is great but that is as far as I would go with bling.

golfball123 · 25 September 2011, 11:07 AM

black rapper watch..

watchf · 25 September 2011, 11:39 AM

The first one with all blinged out diamonds is definitely scratch proof! LOL

Manly in a Columbian drug lord sort of way I suppose.....
