got to try on my dream watch last night. I instantly fell in love and didnt want to give it back! Time to start saving hard so I can have one of my own!

I think the one you have on in your avatar is nicer.

One above is too blingy for me and less is more.

Not for me now perhaps a nice plain DD although not a huge fan of precious metal watches,my own personal dream watch is a 1930-40s Rolex Prince pref in SS.

I would tend to agree, I have always prefered plain and classy as opposed to bling but the sheer weight and feel of this watch was amazing and I instantly fell in love with it. Unfortunately my girfriend was with me at the time and she now wants the ladies version! she has no chance until I own the mens one

......Hold on, let me get my sunglasses.

That's a fair amount of bling there.

If I had no other choice, I could live with a diamond dial markers, but not a diamond bezel.

That will be some über savings my friend. Meteorite dial is the most interesting part to me. The diamonds work for some but alas not me.

You could stare into that dial and get lost in the big bang theory!

Someone over at a Taiwanese Rolex forum just bought one.

He also got a PP 5016P.

The problem with the blingy DD is it looks like a fake its that blingy. A nice plain DD is a fine watch as said before The DD next to the PP looks better but its still too blingy for me.
