Picked up an incoming for a friend, but was shown this!
So, picked up a watch for a friend of mine today, a bluesy, and after seeing it I have ordered one myself. However, the AD, who is unfortunately retiring this year, showed me this beauty. I was spellbound by it, sorry the pictures do not do the piece any justice but had to share. Not for sale when I asked if I could buy :)

I’m sorry you had to experience such a horrid sight.

The Baguette dial is nice but the extra stones on the lugs isn't for me

Well, notice that it doesn't have a depth rating... Although I'd assume that's more because the gems will fall out.

I've always liked this watch, and I'd totally wear it. I don't much care for the diamonds on the case, but I think the bezel looks great.

I believe the case and bezel is already busy enough .
With all the gems and diamonds the depth rating was
omitted to make the dial slightly cleaner to not add to
the busyness it already has .. lol. I’m assuming
Stunning Sub though, I’d definitely wear it as a daily .
For real , It’s just a little out of my reach though...

I've seen one of those before, cool stuff. But I'm a sucker for gem-set anyway
