Monsieur Beck, I was just flipping through the Rolex catalogue at the local AD and basically every single Rolex model is now available from Rolex with diamonds bezek and diamond case. They do the pepsi sub with princess cut sapphires and rubies or mixed with sapphires and diamonds in 18k gold for $125k+ 🙂 Even the stainless daytone on leather is available with diamond bezel for $49k. These are CDN prices. ---

These are CDN prices. in my opinion rolex divers or any rotating bezels just dont go well with diamond bezel, but however they do look nice with diamond dials though. i have seen GMT and explorer 2 with custom diamond bezel, and they look very odd. ---

> [@XwalkerX](#): > > whats the scoop with that hamilton? > > i absolutely LOVE it. > > - > - > - Updated - - - > > just did some recon and found it for 659 with free shipping on amazon… > > VERY tempting Yep. I scooped it up for around $600. It is a big face but not too thick of a case. Band is the only thing that is letting me down so far. The leather is stiff and needs to break in, but like my last Hamilton I can already see where you flex the band to get it into the clasp it will have stress cracks, despite my leather conditioning. 99% of people will never see it but it will bother me. ---

We seriously have the exact same taste. I really like that. Great price. Let me know when you want to sell if for a few hundred dollar loss 😛 ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > We seriously have the exact same taste. I really like that. Great price. Let me know when you want to sell if for a few hundred dollar loss 😛 Too funny. My employee told me he really liked my old Hamilton and asked me to wear it a couple Friday’s ago so he could check it out again. I didn’t realized he had timed it with our bonuses and went downstairs and grabbed some cash and made me a decent offer. That night I ordered this. I always plan to have a Hamilton in the collection. My grandfather had a 1940’s Hamilton ship clock in his basement. Similar to this one and it reminds me of him. [ATTACH=CONFIG]31902[/ATTACH] Has Shinola gotten popular elsewhere or just Detroit?
