I think you already exploded some heads here. If you are seeking attention, you got the right watch. Enjoy it!

How much does this cost? 5k?

If I were you I would simply get a yellow gold daydate 18038. Look on chrono24 at DDs with diamond dials and bezels. There are plenty around for 10k ish.

The thing I like best about your watch is that it is unusual, and in my novice opinion, blingy but not over the top.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I like seeing unusual Rolex watches.

On a serious note, I’d rather see these threads than have my eyes bleed at the 19383930th post about ‘value’ or ‘investment’ with a Rolex.

Diamonds on a men's watch? Not for me. Definitely not for me.
But - taste is subjective, right? Welcome and enjoy the watch!

In real life it doesn't look as crazy as pictures make it look. It doesn't look like a rappers watch more like a poor rapper who couldn't afford diamonds all over.

Glad some people like it because this is my taste in watches. Unless you guys wanna donate some funds and buy me a watch don’t hate just appreciate :-)

Your bracelet definitely needs a refurb.
I’ve a similar watch to yours but without the aftermarket bezel.
Enjoy!

Yes! And OP, congrats on your first purchase. I remember how excited I was when I walked out of the AD with my first one. It felt Great!

Why did you feel the need to show a close up of the underside of the lugs? I find that odd. Are you seeking to confirm it is 100% authentic?

Rough crowd here! I recall my first post on TRF and the non-traditional Rolex watch I was considering buying. With time, my tastes changed, but I still enjoy my first Rolex, a 16613 with a diamond string dial. OP, as long as you enjoy the watch, don't worry about what detractors say.

If it’s a GMT or SD the board goes wild with excitement, add diamonds and they cringe. I’m a big fan of diamond markers but the bezel is a bit much for my tastes. Unique piece, wear it in good health.
