"Busting down" a Nautilus
Be honest, has anyone around here ever done it? Seems to be a trend on IG, "busting down" a Nautilus. After seeing some truly wonderful masterpieces better than fine art, I'm considering getting that extra "sauce" for my 5712.



I have something like this in mind:



Only thing I would improve on that masterpiece is bust down the dial and hands too. I want mine to have so many diamonds that the hands can't move!

Why not get a Nautilus with factory set diamonds? What I have actually noticed recently is a move in the hip hop and pop circles towards factory pieces. Sometimes referred to as "Plain Jane".

Personally I'd never do it, unless I had another of the same piece.

All those small little diamonds worth pennies...If you are doing a bustdown, do it properly. Get baguettes. Especially for the bezel.

If that's what you like, go for it. Your watch, your wrist.



The real question is, are you getting the teeth to match?

The factory ones don't have enough ice for me.

Subtle factory gems only on a women's watch with a very few exceptions like the 5170p.

I'm getting a 5724R as a gift for myself when I'm ready. Thankfully it is readily available in most stores and I could probably get away with a 5-10% discount too. It should also pave way for some other pieces I want in the future :-)
