Do you like it?
...or do you find it horrible ?
Depends on whether the potential wearer would be pre op or post op.

OK.

Let's say I owned this watch and I was pre-op.

Would you like it now?

Now let's say I am now post-op, having already owned the watch beforehand.

How about now?

... or was it just you not being able to keep your fingers from tap tap tapping.

I like it but it's a bit too understated for me.

Pretty much negates the function of the watch, but it’s nice jewelry.

I think it looks good but would be too much ice for my taste.

The hands stick out a bit. Too dark in contrast.

I don’t care for such watches.

How would anyone keep this clean?

Missed the diamond on the crown.

I'd spend whatever that Rolex is worth on a car or by several other Rolexes.

I wouldn't (couldn't) wear it, but I like it and I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making it.

A good buddy of mine who is very well known locally, is a reputable jeweler/watchmaker has one of these beasts and me being someone who isn’t typically a huge fan of such pieces, I will admit it is pretty damn sharp in person!!! I suppose I feel as I do because they’re all factory set stones...If I recall correctly each link was just shy of $23K? Someone please correct me if I’m way off base with that estimate but pretty sure that’s about right...chump change right ?!? Lol riiiight..

I have questions:

Is it safe to wear in the shower? What about in the pool?
Which has better resale - white or black? Which is more versatile?
Has anyone seen it at an AD? How long is the waiting list? Should I go grey market?
Do people prefer the 5 digit version?
Are my wrists big enough?
Does it have a nickname?

The craftsmanship is excellent. But since I hate bling, I think it looks horrible. But many think my plain Jane Sub C no date is boring and would not wear it. So, it is just a matter of taste.

Kinda tough to use the GMT function when you can't see the 24 hour indicators.
