Especially when you have to add this many (the whole watch/bracelet).
You can set diamonds into most metals as long as they are solid (not hollow). Essentially you melt into the metal and set the stone. This is how diamond bracelet and lugs are achieved. Most bezels are manufactured ready to have diamonds set in. Its really not too complicated as long as you take it to an experienced diamond setter. Obviously, Rolex would have its own setters on staff using the highest quality stones. They do not manufacture too many of these super iced out watches, but when they do, they make em for only a certain taste!
