    Should I Pull the Trigger on this Bad Boy?

    Been waiting for that special piece to come along for a while now, and I think this is it!

    And a great price too - would have thought would be much dearer given all the diamonds!

    So, what does TZUK think?!

    I'd buy it for my mother in law.

    Reason being, I don't like her.

    Yes i'd pull the trigger just to see it disintegrate.

    Not my cup of tea. Is it for everyday use?

    You sure it's real? I can only see two words on the dial and it should have hundreds.

    I'm surprised you'd dare leave the house wearing that wealthy label. Why not start another thread, just to see if members think it would be safe to - Oh, hang on

    Personally, I like it.

    Adrian, it would complement your Polar Explorer. I say buy it !

    Are there any diamonds on the back of it? It really needs some diamonds on the back for balance.

    Definitely pull the trigger. Just make sure you use a suitably devastating round. .700 Nitro Express should do it.

    If that were genuine at that price I'd bite their arm off tbh, I actually quite like it!

    Its a bit too discreet if you are trying to make a statement. You need something like my favourite AP

    Pity it's a 'replica'. If it were real, I'd be on the dealer's doorstep at dawn tomorrow.

    As it is, US$335.00 will buy something similar by post.

    Pull the trigger, push the red button, cut the wrong wire... whatever works for you.

    Small amount of Semtex should do the job.

    It very well could be real. I guess I'd have an independent jeweler verify that all five million of the .000000001 carat diamonds are genuine. If they turn out to be cubic zirconia, or cylindric diam-o-chron, or triangulated amethyst.... well, then you'd know.

    The watch underneath might possibly be real for that price but it's not going to buy you that many diamonds.

    It was in a reputable looking watch shop with lots of other pieces for sale, so I assume genuine.

    I suppose it's priced cheaply as it's probably been in the window for years as it's too hideous for anyone to contemplate actually buying!

    Well, in the last 24 hours I have had three PM's from interested parties asking where I saw this watch for sale, so perhaps it's rather popular afterall?!

    Thanks to ach5, I tracked the watch to the pawnbrokers, Albemarle Bond, on Frodsham Street in Chester. (Yes, they still have my 3.8 Mk1 E-Type.)

    They were very pleasant on the phone and said just what you'd expect: it's a genuine, steel Rolex DateJust with 'after market diamond-encrusted dial, bezel and lugs'.

    The plastic laminated card really adds a sense of luxuty and pedigree to the watch...

    Well, this thread was meant to be ironic (especially the title!), but I think everyone thinks it's for real!

    Perhaps I should just point that out!!
