Some very very VERY special pieces I want to show you...
Hey everyone!
I've been very very fortunate to work with these special pieces over the past week and I thought it would be rude for me to not share photos with you guys and girls.. I know they won't be for everybody but, I'm in love.... Say hello to £530,000.00 .. My PERSONAL favourate... The question is... If you won the lottery... (or are fortunate enough already) to buy one... WHICH would it be?!! ... Thanks for looking, Dino

Lottery -- Sub
Not much else truly appeals to my taste. Although they are all (mostly) beautiful pieces.

Have to agree the only thing that's special is the high prices charged.

Very cool, Dino, thanks.
I'm assuming all of these are OEM? As to your question, well, since you snuck in the Smurf in the last pic, I'll take that one. Or maybe the WG SkyD? I guess since I just won the lotto, I'd take both. The MOP Daytona is pretty beautiful, though I think I would prefer to limit the diamonds to the dial. |

Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggg!!!!
I'm afraid I wouldn't have any of them free in a lucky-bag (unless I could sell them, of course!) Still.... Whatever floats your boat, blows your hair back, melts your butter, yanks your chain etc, etc, etc!

I'm kinda particular to that DD too with the blue sapphire markers and the pave dial.
An iced out Rolex. One of my guilty pleasures. |

Not for me, sorry.
The WG Sub is a nice piece though. At the right price I'd be tempted to take one. That price would be nowhere near MRSP. I was spoiled by doing most of my collecting in 2008 when prices were reasonable. |

I recently met Mr. Khan during his training here and I have to say he has fine taste plus he's a nice guy. I went to the track in my yellow Cayenne and he said, "Great car, nobody's going to miss it."
With that said out of those I'd take the smurf |

Thanks for sharing Dino.
I liked looking at the pics, but for my wrist I would only choose the WG sub. In fact I wish I could choose the WG sub! |

With the exception of the WG sub and WG Skydweller, all the others made me just throw up a little in my mouth. Too much bling for me!

Hey Dino...... You must work in quite an interesting AD since you appear to have a regular supply of unusual and blinged out pieces..... No doubt a regular stream of premier league footballers and their WAGs popping in ......
As you know, my favourite is the Blue Angel..... But one day I really need to investigate a party piece with some added ice....... Thanks for sharing as always...... |
