Rolex is moving a bit away from being a watch brand and turns into a pure luxury brand. Hard (or impossible, if you don’t have the right contacts) to get models in steel (or even bi-colour), long waiting lists, doubled price tags on the grey market and still the dream brand for many.

Hands-On: Rolex Daytona 116588TBR ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ Or ‘Rorschach Test’ Diamond Set Watch

[h=3]BRIEF SIDE-NOTE ON HALO WATCHES[/h] We must stick to the point of discussing this new Daytona and not go off-topic too much, but what is a thought-provoker if not such a watch from Rolex? It makes me think of other brands I really appreciate and have owned previously: IWC and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Two mighty-awesome brands with fancy factories, rich histories, and more established watch collections than one could shake a stick at… and just look at how much less time we have recently spent speaking about these two.

A time piece for those folks with "Money to Burn".:wink: Thanks Mike.:hat:
 
one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen by any brand at any price. JMHO. I'm sure its made to superb standards and those large diamonds on the bezel don't come cheap esp with the level of detail Rolex will put into matching them for color and clarity... but damn. She's ugly.
