No thanks.

VinnieVegas · 15 August 2015, 04:56 AM

I think I'll pass.

evlkoala · 15 August 2015, 04:56 AM

I'll stick with the 77-87k

MonBK · 15 August 2015, 04:56 AM

I hate to say it but I pass as well.

Degas · 15 August 2015, 04:58 AM

It’s the same, we think, with the Pearlmasters. It’s easy for many serious Rolex enthusiasts to dismiss gem-set Rolexes just as a matter of principle. But in person, these watches grew on us – a lot. They’re phenomenally well made, mechanically irreproachable, and just flat out beautiful. The level of attention to detail that went into their creation – including that devoted to the gem selection, cutting, shaping and setting – will very likely go right over the heads of a lot of the folks who end up buying these, but we hope it doesn’t entirely, because as we said of the Everose Yachtmaster, this is a very Rolex approach to luxury: the pushing of technical perfectionism to the point that it becomes a luxury in itself.

cosmoliu · 15 August 2015, 04:58 AM

I'll pass too, but I'm still impressed!

Syed117 · 15 August 2015, 05:01 AM

87 on the high side?

No way.

86 would be much more reasonable

Gasoil4ever · 15 August 2015, 05:04 AM

Would go for a Smurf, a LBRO GMT and a new Jetski instead...

jw0n · 15 August 2015, 05:05 AM

And just in case you think THAT was too much... here's a little extra extra. Too much for me, only trying on the Daytona on for size (and they only had this in store).

Rags · 15 August 2015, 05:18 AM

Not for me, no thanks..

Knisse · 15 August 2015, 05:38 AM

This is in my opinion stuff that gives Rolex a bad reputation.. But on the other hand if they can make it and sell it (and make a high margin) who cares whether i get offended :-)

RolexAuthority · 15 August 2015, 05:42 AM

87k for an oyster perpetual - as Ron Burgundy would say...

travisb · 15 August 2015, 05:48 AM

I'm keeping my money.

BNA/LION · 15 August 2015, 05:51 AM

Pass

adawil2002 · 15 August 2015, 06:12 AM

100% not my style.

Ferdelious · 15 August 2015, 06:12 AM

If money was not an issue and my wife really wanted it, maybe. Will these end up being collectible like the rainbow Daytona?

dpa94114 · 15 August 2015, 06:49 AM

the bezels are amazing - but almost think they would be better with simpler dials.

but i guess the Dubai crowd doesn't believe in less being more....

ColRam425 · 15 August 2015, 06:54 AM

I just think these should be Day-Dates instead of DateJusts.

cht · 15 August 2015, 07:21 AM

All that work and $$$ to look like a cheap piece of tacky costume jewelery...

kunlun · 15 August 2015, 07:37 AM

You guys are aware these are women's watches, right?

I mean, a man could wear them, but that's not the target audience.

Most Rolexes I see are on the wrists of women.

Abdullasaif · 15 August 2015, 07:43 AM

They look much cleaner than expected. As an owner of a SACO myself, I have to say that the watches are really beautiful in person. They are not the "go with everything" traditional Rolex, but for occasions or with a specific outfit, they are quite a treat.

LumpHammer · 15 August 2015, 07:48 AM

No. Quite pretty but other brands do sparkly gems so much better. Rolex make steel tanks and that's good enough for me.

zama · 15 August 2015, 09:19 AM

Look on the bright side I looked at these the other day at an AD launch for the 2015 watches in Australia these are now $120K when our $ was worth more than the US only 2 years ago........

SpunkyQ8 · 15 August 2015, 09:23 AM

Big no!

Racerdj · 15 August 2015, 09:26 AM

I'll pass!

THC · 15 August 2015, 09:31 AM
