Unfortunately a SARU is out of my grasp at the moment. So I settled for custom. I really like it, looks good when it catches the light

How does the 24 hour hand work with no numbers on the bezel?

Honestly, who cares about numbers. There are gorgeous diamonds there, waaaaay better to look at, besides after about a week of ownership you'll figure out where the numbers are, just like on watches without anything, like Movados and such, you may just loose the third time zone search, but does this really strike you as a watch that one wears to work and traveling at random.

Just enjoy the view.

Awesome bling! So if that's a custom setting, is that a steel GMT they then added the stones to? Looks very well done.

I am guessing SApphire - RUby, and custom job as in the jewels were added later by a jeweller. Not ref 116759 SARU http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/G...9%20SARU/10599
