I liked all of the Basel releases and then...

I saw this. Words add nothing more. But really? Why?

Because they are in the business of selling watches and a lot of people will buy it (God knows why, but they will).

Rolex going gaga with bling is nothing new. Rolex has a tool watch heritage mixed with precious metals and stones and somehow they make both strategies work for them.

Why not?

If I had endless money, I'd buy for my wife, for sure. It's a fun colorful watch.

Oh yeah, and it's jewelry.

I would never buy one but I think this one is great. The perfect piece for a young, funny and happy billionaire-wife for the tennis club.

Rolex is the king of bling watches and that's not a bad thing. IMO.

I think it's a great watch for women. The only thing wrong is the Yacht-Master text in red, it just doesn't work well with the color gems they picked. If I had F U money it would be on my wife's wrist.
