Not a diamond fan but that would pair nicely with a Hulk. Thanks for sharing!

I am very doubtful it's original.

Same here, the edge around the date window seems very sharp.

Interesting insights, thanks.

The watch is one chrono24 (i think it's obvious) - the other pictures are similar.

I thought it looked like there were some light cracks...which made me think it might be legitimate (although it could just be the crystal). I've seen variations on where the "T Swiss made T" appears above and below the track line.

There was an interesting discussion (link below) - seems to be a lot of questions regarding them.

This one has a similar color - but the Oman dials have their own rules i suppose

http://rolexpassionmarket.com/watche...-and-diamonds/

The dealer seems reputable - some fairly high-end watches - but not a rolex specialist.

for $50K euros, it's really just an intellectual discussion anyway.

They certainly came on early 18000 series but I have never seen a a Stella with yellow gold diamond settings sorry

OMG - you're 100% right...I'm embarrassed to say I don't think I ever noticed that the diamond settings are almost always barely visible (White gold, i assume?)

I have a rather out-of-control collection of stella jpgs... (as opposed to stella watches)

thanks again
