Actually most of the gemset Rolex are more on the aftermarket nowadays. Rainbow Daytonas go double to triple their MSRP.

I wouldn't buy one - even if money was no problem - but I do find the gem Rolex's interesting and cool to look at. I'd be keen to have one as a 'shelf queen', so thanks for the pics!

I agree. I don’t think I could own this, especially knowing what 100K could get me in the world of watches. But I always say, never say never.

Some seriously nice watches, for sure.

I have no idea about the "discontinued" starburst dials, but man, that silver dial romans looks like it was made for you. Wow!

Thanks for taking us along.

Well if it doesn't get to a new home Tuesday....I know a guy







I was told $28K for the 40, and $24K for the 36.
25% off is a great deal!

Love the Carrera T and the CHNR. Porsche and Rolex are the ultimate combo.

Love that CHNR, having seen one in the metal I can say pictures do not do it justice. I opted for the BLRO instead but the CHNR was hard to pass on.

That bling reminds me of Liberace. It does match your shaved arms though
