I think that looks 'orrible. But I don't have to wear it. Each to their own.

I know must people won't like it but that doesn't matter if you do, at least it's not boring like most steel models!
I've just fitted a rainbow bezel on my Daytona TT last week and I love it, really lifts the watch in my opinion, obviously you want the original bezel for resale time though

Not my taste. The quality of the photos probably makes it look worse that it actually is.

Too plain and too big I think.

Maybe on a Datejust 36

I kind of like it.

But the dial looks too big and is too plain to match the busy bezel.

I think it would look cooler with a DJ 36 maybe with a Roman dial, a jubilee bracelet and that bezel

Bad, very bad!
Need to go “all-in” to pull off that look and they forgot to bling up the dial!
Fail!

Personally not a fan. The jeweller has done a few custom watches at client requests it seems:

If the OP likes it, fine. Live and let live.

But , IMO it looks like those watches that belongu in a mall kiosk for the "All watches $49.99!" crowd. (Teenagers, GapGirl Types, 13 year old 'fashionistas', what have you.)

my issue with the pic provided by OP is the color matching and stepping between stones. Seems uneven and unnatural. People going the custom route to save money might be underestimating the time and expertise required todo a proper gradient bezel.

There is definitely a market for this kind of stuff, but I doubt the target audience frequents this forum
