WG DDII with special diamonds & rubies dial

I have been looking for a WG DDII for a long while and watching the price going from mid 20 thousand to mid 30 thousand. Finally I realized that I need to pull the trigger before this coming price increase.

When I saw this watch in AD, it is beautiful. And a couple of grands above my already-increased budget. I was not that into putting diamond on a watch, but this special one caught me with its hidden diamond look.

I went to Rolex website and couldn't find the info for this watch, this dial was available on Rose gold version only. The AD told me they just got this piece before the holiday season as a special version. Finally, I convinced myself to buy it, at a price I never thought I would pay before I walked into the AD.

Nicely done! You are right. The prices on DD IIs just keep going up faster than I can save for one. Frustrating. Nice purchase!
