Especially when you have to add this many (the whole watch/bracelet).
You can set diamonds into most metals as long as they are solid (not hollow). Essentially you melt into the metal and set the stone. This is how diamond bracelet and lugs are achieved. Most bezels are manufactured ready to have diamonds set in. Its really not too complicated as long as you take it to an experienced diamond setter. Obviously, Rolex would have its own setters on staff using the highest quality stones. They do not manufacture too many of these super iced out watches, but when they do, they make em for only a certain taste!

Couldn't have said it better! FM is the most arrogant athlete on the face of the earth. I'd donate a good amount of money to a charity that benefits troubled teens if Pacman knocks out this punk (I really hope the fight does take place).

He is arrogant but it's mighty tough to argue against a professional record of 47-0.

True enough! FM is a phenomenal talent, a once in a generation boxer. But there are many champions in various sports who always act with dignity and show respect to others. Magic, Bird, Gretzky, Montana just to name a few.

This clearly shows that having the money to buy watches like these doesn't mean having money can buy you good taste.

I expect some major retail therapy for FM after tonight.

Sending out a good thought for Manny Pacquiao!

The diamonds on the watches must be crappy aftermarket ones, because if they were normal diamonds there should be for much more than 6,4 million…

The definition IMO of good taste for luxury items, cars, watches, etc, for me, is to have great things that only few people will know, because you buy them for you not for other people, that's why I like Patek, ALS and others, almost no one knows what you have on the wrist. In Thailand last summer my friend's wife sees I have a BLNR and tells me "oh Rolex number 1" I smiled and told her it depends on what criteria.

In 1 year having my 5712 not a single person knew what it was, I had only 1 remark from a friend who was a few feet from me, he asked if it was a Royal Oak

I don't like the look of any of them; however I have respect for the craftspeople who applied all those stones. Really excellent work there.

It is also interesting that #6 (iced) is worth less than #4 (no ice). On the surface, it appears the stones actually reduced the value...
