Do the diamonds on that REALLY authentic looking bezel kind of spin around? I think one of my nieces had a Dora the Explorer watch that looks like that, but the diamonds are glitter and the movement is better.

Looks to me like it was possibly tarted up by a non-Rolex jeweller... Larry.

The $100 dollars is yours!

Tombstone · 27 March 2007, 10:09 AM

Yes I think a pimp lost his watch, that "thing" is FUGLY. Proof that diamonds are too common and should be worth nothing.

Tombstone · 27 March 2007, 10:12 AM

I count 63 stones, it has to be fake the setting on the dial is off, I have never seen a true Rolex dial where the stones were not set perfectly.

JJ Irani · 27 March 2007, 10:41 AM

That's obviously some cheap POS fake. No way would Rolex come up with such an atrocity!! No WAY!!!!

Mr. K · 27 March 2007, 02:29 PM

ouch my eyes hurt! Make it stop.

santaclaus2100 · 27 March 2007, 03:03 PM

Oh my Gawd !!!!

It is real piece of work, a POS, to be exact.

Gaijin · 27 March 2007, 04:01 PM

Definitely a fake. Look at the cyclops magnification. Ugly too.

Well, at least it's genuine.....and still looks far, far better than that piece of crap posted above!!

cbrenthus · 28 March 2007, 05:52 AM

Wow! We've actually found a watch that makes the leopard daytona look good in comparison. That's like finding a girl so ugly that she makes Rosie O'Donnel look sexy!

mikey · 28 March 2007, 06:53 AM

JJ, the leopard is worse.

Prince · 28 March 2007, 07:01 AM

No, I believe that the original watch posted IS the ugliest ROLEX I have ever seen. "Tarted up" is a HUGE understatement!!!..

That is truly horrible ( the lepoard Daytona is not much better!!)
The dial is at the very least heavily modified, the outer ring of diamonds on the dial are definately not original. The inner ring settings look better but too far in towards the centre and the less said about the bezel the better.
If "that" was presented for repair at work we would refuse to touch it unles the owner aggreed to have it returned to original condition!!
Modifications like that would invalidate the warranty too.

Sorry - DON'T agree at all. In all fairness to the Leopard Daytona, at least it's GENUINE!!!

Let me tell all of you that even the BEST and most CAREFULLY crafted REPLICA Rolex will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, in my eyes, match up with the WORST GENUINE ROLEX!!

I'm not convinced that it didn't start life as a Rolex.

Are a few diamonds missing on the bezel of this monstrosity?

mikey · 29 March 2007, 02:52 PM

I actually owned a similar president except the red rubies were round for indeces and I had an all gold band with no diamonds back in 2002-2004.

mikey · 29 March 2007, 02:57 PM

Also, JJ, the Leopard Daytona is just not popular genuine. It is a monstrosity. Also, there was a time when TT Blue subs were looked at as gaudy unpopular versions of a classic sport Rolex. Its just preference today, but that lady DJ simply has an aftermarket bezel that makes it look gaudy, but it looks genuine to me. JJ, i think the attention and great photography from you has given the TT Sub some credibility. Personally, I like the Seadweller much better. I just don't care for yellow gold on a rugged classic sport watch like a Sub.
