Amazing diamonds 116589TBR White Tiger

This watch is stunning. I’ve never been into bling diamond watches, but this is amazing in person! I may have been converted!

I’m not into diamond watches. However, if I had made it big in rap music, I would wear that piece. It’s way cooler than the “bust down” pieces with aftermarket diamonds.

Been in a gem set craze lately and this is a proper rare piece! I'd be happy with the Yellow Tiger!

I would have vomited at the sight of this 2 years ago. Now I am so bored with plain steel Rolexes and this stuff is growing on me.

I hear you. Honestly, when the AD asked if I would buy, I said yes because of the rarity and collectibility. I didn’t expect to actually want to wear it. When the watch came in and we saw it in person, both of us were awestruck by how cool it was on the wrist.

I agree with the OP.

Also never been into bling, diamond watches.

But when I look at that, I see a work of art more that a watch. Something to be studied and admired (like a painting) rather than a tool for telling the time.

This 100%. For me I don’t have the personality to pull off a piece like this on my wrist but if I could afford one Id gladly put a rainbow Daytona or a gem set GMT in a cool rotating display on a stand and have it displayed as horology art. Awesome piece of stellar craftsmanship you now own; congrats!!

Wow, I love it, it's such gorgeous timepiece and work of art.

Congrats!

I always love Rolex timepieces with gem stones and diamonds. I would love to own a Rainbow Daytona.

Not a fan of diamond watches but admire the skill in setting the stones.

As others have said, as an exercise in the jewellers art of gem setting, then it's hard to fault. I also think the monochrome look of this one is a lot more classy than the rainbow.

As a piece to wear though? Nah. Personally, never in a million years.

Very nice craftsmanship. Looking at that I also have no idea what time it is...but suppose if you are given the luxury of purchasing that, then you're in a position to not care what time it is.

"What time is it?"

*looks at wrist* "No idea mate"

Agree with others, can't really tell the time. But that's not the point, that is a really cool watch!

Too loud. Why wear a watch when you can't even tell the time..
