Let me know what you think.
And yes I know the dial plate isnt perfectly lined up with the band, but its barely noticable and I'm not gonna get it fixed.

The diamond encrusted plate and bezel are both after-market.
I think its a stunning watch

Congrats & enjoy!

Alfa2109 · 21 March 2021, 11:43 PM

You certainly have your own Rolex style! I’m not an iced watch guy. But I’m glad you’ve found two iced watches that suit you. Enjoy them and wear them in good health!

I personally think Submariners are hideous. Wouldnt pay $1K for one, let alone $20K

Looks like the spaced the diamond encrusted letraset out a bit wrong as they went round the dial!

You like it that’s all that matters

Malum · 22 March 2021, 12:14 AM

I always say anything I buy is for my taste . Definitely not to impress anyone but myself . Obviously you feel the same way, congratulations.

Liga · 22 March 2021, 12:23 AM

Are you sure those are diamonds. Anybody who would do this kind of work wouldn't be able to use real diamonds.

If you like it, that's all that matters.
Congratulations.

Bezel and dial plate are 3.10ct Diamonds.

No idea where you get the information from that you can't use real diamonds on a Rolex, even if its after-market

Danny83 · 22 March 2021, 12:48 AM

Congrats

Gerardus · 22 March 2021, 12:50 AM

Congrats with your new acquisition. Between those two pieces I like the white dial more.
As said ...taste is personall... as it should be! Wear it in good health.
(BTW I would pay 1k for a SUB, because I like Sub's also a lot;)

brucethemanlee · 22 March 2021, 01:08 AM

What I think?

Hard pass for me.

But hey your money, your wrist. Wear what you like

Not my style, but all that matters is you enjoy it. My work and lifestyle are pretty casual so gold and two tone just doesn’t fit for me.

The gold and blue dial look good together and the watch has a retro look, but I think you need to get the dial aligned.

Wasn’t it Frank Sinatra that said, “I did it my way”.

nightmyth · 22 March 2021, 03:36 AM

Yes taste is subjective. Only this watch is to the taste of a minority of Rolex lovers.

djackson410 · 22 March 2021, 03:45 AM

I like the bracelet.

Justinmg · 22 March 2021, 03:59 AM

Dial looks off. Not my taste but if you love it, congrats!

Carr82 · 22 March 2021, 04:02 AM

Not my style but if you like it that's great. Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it.

Yeah, that dial is a disaster — especially the visual transition from the VI to the VII.

007timer · 22 March 2021, 05:11 AM

Hey congrats OP. There is a reason Rolex makes both professional and non professional models. Diamonds and without. As you mentioned. The Sub is not for everyone and vice versa. All I can say is congratulations on your latest addition and enjoy it in good health.

I do like the blue, very vibrant.

Congratulations very nice, the daimond ones i mean. I agree with you about the green sub but the black sub is the worst one it’s one of the most dullest watches on earth I think if it didn’t say Rolex on it loads of people wouldn’t even look at it.

Rolexrockzz · 22 March 2021, 05:39 AM

Looks good

If it works for you then that’s all that matters.

DeeTee · 22 March 2021, 06:22 AM

I don’t mind aftermarket, but these are trash quality jobs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the diamonds are CVD and it’s plated gold bezel not solid.

As others have said as long as you like it that’s great. For me, it isn’t what I would buy, but that doesn’t matter.

I would have the quality of the materials used checked. As others have pointed out the spacing on the dial is not great and usually (but not always) work that has imperfections as this also tend to skimp a bit on materials (use cheaper stuff). It may not matter to you (especially if you got a good deal) but I would be concerned about the quality of the diamonds and the gold.
