...and Kostas - you live in Australia!
I would love to be a fly on the wall when you wear it to an Aussie Barbecue - particularly after everyone has a few beers in them and diplomacy has left by the back door.
Are you a Greek guy? If so I dare say you would have no problem pulling it off and would not be in any way intimidated by the Yobbos.
We only get one shot at this Gig so if it amuses you, go for it.

Personally, I never trust men who wear diamonds.

(No offense is intended)

Having said that... while it's not my cup of tea, there's a small part of me that would go Pimptastic and buy a watch like that if I hit a major financial windfall and wanted to piss off my neighbors. I'd probably get a lime green Lamborghini too and go full asshole without a care in the world.

Congrats on the watch. Haters are going to hate but what makes you happy is what counts!

Not sure! Saw the pic on washingtonpost.com and fell in love.

Never heard that saying. Is that just you? Is it as ubiquitous "they say never trust a man who doesn't drink."

Dan Snyder was my neighbor, blew past me in his black murcieralgo on river road almost everyday.

Guys just to explain myself , this isn't a piece I aspired to buy , it was just an opportunistic buy and I did my homework , it's a real chronomat 44 , the diamonds are real and the price I paid was ridiculously low side.

To all those concerned the Rolex funds are still alive and healthy :) working my way to a 116618 ;) in my near future

as much as i think id would love to wear it i dont have the testicular fortitude to stand out that much lol!
i respect the workmanship that goes into it albeit alot of people will bag it and put it down... if we all had the same taste it would be a boring world!

If you are in the entertainment industry, diamonds on a watch is common. It's a different world.

I just have never understood the folks that never learned to shut up rather than insult.
It's just so much easier to ignore the thread, not post anything and subscribe to the adage best to be thought as ignorant than to speak and prove yourself as such.

OP,
Looks awesome. Not for me, but if left up to my wife, it would be. Only reason not for me is primarily that don't have everyday use for something that much of a problem for theft or injury to steal it. Otherwise, that watch looks awesome.

Somebody paid a lot of $$ for that extensive customization. It's a shiner, that's for sure. I would be happy if it landed in my lap, too!
A lot of bling, but a work of art, nonetheless.
Thanks for sharing.
