It's been posted somewhere here in the forum.

Someone even got it offered, but I don't remember if he/she eventually pulled the trigger

Yes, this is one of those super rare factory diamond set Rolex watches that you will usually only see on the wrists of Footballers, Movie stars, famous producers, etc. There's a handful of these super rare models out there. Retail is usually up in the $125,000-$200,000 range with some like the Rainbow Daytona (Also in this category) being $300,000+, then there's the Emerald Day Date 40 which is about $550,000 and so rare that it's street price is near $750,000+ if you can even find a fellow celebrity to buy it from. I swear I bet you don't even get pieces like this offered to you unless you're a very-very-very important customer who also has lots of influence and positive attributes to bring to the brand.

Shame it looks like something off aliexpress. Rolex gemsetting is second to none and the dial, from what us mere mortals get to see looks stunning.

Here's a post from someone here who bought one. From what he posted I'm not sure if he kept it.

Too much bling for me, but do love that deeper blue dial over the one on the regular Smurf!

The rainbow daytona, is a lovely thing, not my taste but beautiful in terms of stone selection and setting.

These are a bit meh, looks too like an iced out type watch. I don't mind the bezel as much as the lugs.

Not the one with the iced dial.

https://www.fratellowatches.com/role...ow-116595rbow/

This one.

Its obviously "too much" and not really my taste but an interesting piece in terms of matching stones and the whole setting of it.

I remember seeing this post, and I believe that they got it. I recall the wrist shots.
