Those rubies? Don't like the rubies (just personal taste)

As long as you're happy

They look great and I had red rubies on my DD pave' dial. I am missing it but the buyer appreciated the watch so I am happy it went to a new home.

Looks like you need to tighten up the bracelet, or get a Nato to go with it!

Neither!!

Hey Goldsplinter, you seem like a young fella. That watch is way too bling and way too "old" for you. What you need is a simple SS Sub - more suitable for your age.

Cheers - JJ

I have no problem with the diamonds/ruby bezel.Champagne dial is good.I love the TT Subs.I am fond of all Rolexs with a bit of colour,yet the overall design does not work for me.I had one similar to this in the hand at a used dealer and this is how I feel about the overall design .....

Its like nice components fitted together and not forming a whole.The diamonds/rubies get a bit lost on the gold dial.Its like you have to look for it,it does not come to you..The black bezel and the gold dial,also not together as a whole.

I would have liked a gold bezel,that could have worked.Maybe a black dial,stones,black bezel too.A blue dial,bezel with the stones may be brilliant ... !!

Its still a damn pretty watch seen on its own,its just that it does not smile enough,to me.Its also pretty expensive and for that amount I feel one can find a better offering from Rolex.

To each his/her own...Just my opinion.Like a said...'Still a pretty watch'

That must be the most expensive,classless and most tasteless Rolex ever produced/created/mutated/manufactured/concocted ....Fit for "Louis Cypher" or some rich brothel Madam.

Whats the price on that ..."thing" ...?

DeWitt's have a little bit less Bling than that, and they start at $20,000. So it's no less than that.

That watch make me ashamed of Rolex!!! That is UGLY! But, I guess somebody must be buying them, otherwise they would not be selling them. I wish asomeone one give me one though, then I could sell it and by all my family and friends Rolex SS Professional models!
