I wouldn't call it ruined but definitely prefer the ss in this watch. |

People can ask anything they want. That does not mean it will ever sell for that amount.

I think they look great, but I hate to see this done to a perfectly good Rolex, especially a Sea Dweller.

There are only 50 so they will sell them all without a problem.
DSSD too big? Don't like the cyclops? Want a DLC watch? That's how you end up paying so much I guess. I saw a DLC'd Patek Nautilus that was selling for more than a 5980R. Still sold out I believe. Different strokes I guess .... |

And, I bet, MUCH cheaper than the one in the link too! What's the clasp look like? I know you don't baby your watches...and I've always wondered of the robustness of the coating.

Same reason why people would pay money to see Justin Bieber, actually I wouldn't go see him if you paid me. Besides, just because they asked that much for it doesn't mean they will sell any of it.
