Tom, you can’t do it for the 5712 only, you must do the 15202 as well

I drove across the border and took toms 5712 away from him. Very unstable. Can’t be trusted with it at this time.

Smart move. I see busting down a 5712/1A as total art destruction. Like letting Alec Monopoly paint on an original Mona Lisa.

It's amazing what you can do with plagiarized work. Like some "Klein Watches" brand "paying" homage to different watch brands. Making money off the backs of other brands. Serious hustle there.

I think factory ones way more expensive - 200k+ vs. 70-80k aftermarket diamonds.... I am sure not too hard to get a nautlius with aftermarket diamonds... Ben Baller did the chain...

Considering the markup they take on aftermarket set diamonds on watch pieces it's crazy. They net 25-50% on pieces vs 5-10% normally for just a watch dealer ---- Extra %'s for "craftmanship"
