$125k
Tried on a $125K diamond encrusted Daytona in Carmel today. Honest opinion: way out of my price range, not my style, and way over the top, but there is one for everyone! Should have snapped a photo. Couldn’t stop thinking about the 50 other ways I would blow $125k as I was wearing it

Was it an OEM piece or aftermarket mod? Shame you didn’t get photos

It must have been OEM because it was in with the new stock. For anyone visiting or in the area, Fourtane in Carmel has quite the selection of both new and used pieces, but like everyone very little in the way of new SS

That is the 116576TBR.

Beautiful piece. You'd need a 10% discount on it.

I think it’s funny how the sales person is wearing those fancy gloves and then they hand it off to our greasy hands to try on.

I just can't see paying a penny over $75K for a Rolex.

In that situation both watches and people should stay home.

Screw-down pushers don't make any more sense on that piece, imo.

Isn’t the RBOW multi colour listed at that price range?

They must have just got a shipment in. Cases were empty 2 weeks ago when I was picking up a watch from them. They do keep hot watches in the safe, like everyone else.

Edit: and of course this thread is from 2019....
