I don't find it horrible but nothing I would wear unless I became a professional athlete or movie star! LOL

I like it. I just can’t carry that look with any semblance of seriousness.

That is way over the top for me! I could not pull that off - even if I was a professional athlete! Have to admire the craftsmanship. Maybe my wife could weat it whan we go to the orchestra once every five years!

I like it but it doesn't go with my shorts and T shirts. Maybe when I have jeans on. IDK.

Funny how the crown looks out of place due to it not having any diamonds on it.

Great craftsmanship, but to many diamonds for me. I like yellow gold with no diamonds.

I think Brew meant that the watch itself won’t get scratched because of the diamonds

Not that it won’t scratch other watches

Well, it's impressive. The GMT function is rendered all but useless. I'd say it isn't for me.

I have to admit I have come to like some of the Rolex blinged out pieces like the Rainbow Daytona, but this is just too much IMO..

Yes, but I felt so badly for Steven and his watches, I figured we'd let the offending bling take the heat.

A most humble thanks and yes understood what he meant. Wife and i share timepieces at times, and so... she is dangerous with diamonds.

Protect your timepiece when she's around, or perhaps i should play it safe and buy one of the above

Then again, she did scratch the crystal on my Samsung Gear S3 4G LTE with her bling. Crystals are not immune!

This sounds very romantic, in a nerdy WIS sorta way.

I know it's off-topic, but I wonder how many other couples are able to share the hobby like this.

She's a keeper

PS: In fact just a month or so ago passed on an OMEGA 50th Anniversary offered to me (she was away on biz). When she got home showed a pic to her and she said i shoulda bought it. Called AD Mayors in Tampa back and got it :)

PPS: On some timepieces, we have multiple bands so a timepiece (white, pink, etc band) 'works better' for her outfits, and other bands (black, orange, etc) for my outfits.

Yeah I’ve heard that diamonds can easily scratch the crystal of a watch

Haha, yes buy the iced out watch!
