I'll admit it's extravagant in terms of the price and not as functionally faultless as the iconic brand name would have you believe. But it does keep time, it holds its value better than virtually any stock investment over the past year and, moreover, it's an ingeniously (if paradoxically) subtle creation on the part of the renowned manufacturer. Upon observing this gaudy, garish, stomach-unsettling piece upon your wrist, nobody (with the possible exception of Rod Blagojevich) will suspect you of flashing them with genuine bleeping gold let alone a Rolex! No, it won't buy you a Senate seat, but it has a legitimate outside chance at becoming an appreciating asset if the recently completed movie about Liberace becomes a box office hit.
Nonetheless, I hope you're serious about your claim that you've returned the item to Amazon. I'm eagerly waiting for it to appear in Amazon's Warehouse Deals. |

That does it !! I'm going to throw my model 16610 in the waste compactor.
Rolex ! you've made my dream-watch I've never seen such a beautiful watch as this . It makes me wish that I had three or more wrists so that I could wear more of them |
Ideal for the gay color blind leopard trainer in your life!!

| I bought this watch for my gay cousin Phil McCracken. He is a leopard trainer and color blind and he loves this watch! When I mean love he says it's "fab-u-lous"...... |
Excellent craftsmanship.

I bought this excellent watch for my father's birthday. He couldn't be any happier.
I must declare this is quite possibly one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship I've ever seen. Further I'll note I would recommend this watch as a great gift if you are not sure what to get your father. (Or a very close friend)

Fun watch.

After reading all the other reviews, I can say that this is an extravagant watch. It's nice, it's a hip/fun watch and I know that is NOT the kind of watch to have as your only watch because that wouldn't be a good idea. This is a watch for special ocasions and I think that Rolex made a good decision with this model because finally they are re-inveting themselves because other brands such are Cartier are making bigger watches (something popular today) and have new models, something that doesn't happend with Rolex. ALL their models are the same and had been the same for ages. Finally the new Day-Date II is bigger and looks more today (I've bought it recently and looks great).
About the price of this watch, I also find it a little bit expensive but if you compare it with other brand prices is not really that crazy. I think that $39k (retail price) would be a good price but lots of jewerly stores can sell it for 37K (brand new).
There are lots of watches nowadays and they are another accesory, it's not like before that you only needed one. Today you have models to change them as sneakers (if you are trendy and of course have the big budget to have several styles).

Fantastic Piece

| Review Date: October 4, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Gomez Adams, Chicago,IL |
| I recently took a second mortgage on my house to buy this great fantastic watch out of necessity. I'm in the business of burglarizing other people's homes and I needed a rather more deadly weapon than a crowbar to carry around with me for safety. Whenever I'm disturbed at work by some prying home-owner I just flash this and said busybody is almost always stunned to complete idiocy. I'm not sure if its the ugliness of the thing or the prettiness of the thing. Or it might just be because I left the price tag on it. I've been thinking recently about expanding business so I plan to buy a couple more. Definitely recommend. |

So you're looking for a fashion statement that will put you in good standing with names like Mobuto, Ceachescu, Saddam Hussein, Milosovic, Tito, Hitler, The Marcoses, and Noreiga? Here is just the watch for you, and is it Fabulous! Gold, encrusted with cognac sapphires and diamonds, and a leopard strap. Who cares if it can tell time? With a watch like this, you'll always have peasants to worry about details like that for you. I'm just disappointed it wasn't mentioned in Dictator Style: Lifestyles of the World's Most Colorful Despots.
Jiminy Cricket, this thing is hideous. Rolex has found a new low in taste. The should have quit after the NEW ROLEX EXPLORER MENS AUTOMATIC WATCH 114270 and the Men's Rolex Oyster Precision Submariner Chronometer Stainless Steel Watch. |
Should be in the Guiness Book as the Ugliest watch in the world !

| Let me start by saying , Are you on crack or what? This watch is so nasty I prefer to use a watch from a cereal box. I can't believe a company like Rolex took the time to make this watch. Probably it was designed by the brainless daughter of the owner of the company. They have to pay me $50k to wear that thing. People will laugh at you if you pull that out . I rather look the stars and verify the position of the sun to tell me the time than looking that hideous thing on my wrist. Go take your 50k, buy yourself a nicer rolex and go on vacation. |

Now seriously, what were the Rolex designers smoking when they came up with this hideous thing??!!!??? |
The Prostitute of Watches?!

| Review Date: August 13, 2009 |
| Reviewer: M. Ford, Houston, Texas |
| If ever a watch could be compared to a street walking prostitute, this one has got to be it! What on earth was Rolex thinking with this abomination?! Huh, someone, anyone, please tell me! Visualize a pair of cheap 6" leopard print stiletto heels covered in glass stones, and this is it re-incarnated on your wrist! I can't even see the PIMP wearing this aborted timepiece that had to have been, please.....it must have been!, kicked out of Rolex's shop with the flaming gayjob that dreamt this thing up. And the price, please, it just adds insult to injury on this wrist humper. I could only take this watch seriously if I were to see it on someone at a costume party and they were wearing a jock strap with a pair of alligator chaps and a pink boa wrapped around them. The only thing that comes to mind when I look at this gum ball machine trinket is the prostitute with the shoes (see above) getting pounded by the "client" like a screen door in a bad wind storm. |
Costume Jewelry Throwup

| Review Date: March 6, 2010 |
| Reviewer: E. Meisel, |
| The fact that Rolex would put their name on this abomination really ruins the brand. The name is tarnished with this horrible watch throwup. It's like dating a hottie who you discovered had an ugly boyfriend before you. She suddenly doesn't seem so hot now. Same here. A stainless steel daytona, or submariner now looks a little less knowing that this thing exists in the world. The brand is a little less now. Shame. NEXT TIME THINK BEFORE YOU PUT YOUR NAME ON SOMETHING SO UGLY. Your name is EVERYTHING. |

I have a SS Rolex Daytona, which I've really liked. But the sight of this UGLY monstrosity has made me think twice about even owning a Rolex watch.
It is truly, truly hideous, and I can't imagine who on earth would ever wear it.... |
Not worth it.

| Surprisingly, the quality is really cheap for a 50k watch, plastic is even used. It isn't worn comfortably nor is it the most attractive. Don't buy. |
