I had this watch on my wrist the other day 8). A one time thing for sure. I offered to find out what I could about the watch. Model #K13050.1 18K yellow gold & 138 diamonds. I think it is a Chronomat, perhaps a Vitesse?? Not sure what bracelet it is? I'm pretty new at this. I suspect all the diamonds were an after addition. I think the watch head was about $10,000 and another $1,600 for the bracelet. Any thoughts :?:. Pretty impressive watch though. Not sure I'd want to wear it out in public.

It's hideous.

This is probably aftermarket, but Breitling do similar with their 'diamond works' models.

I'm positive the diamonds are aftermarket. I have seen a few iced out lings and when breitling does it they do the whole bracelet.

I would hope so. The only thing worse than all the diamonds on this thing is the fact there aren't more of them. The partially blinged-out bracelet looks really tacky.

Okay, so it's not just me then. I too thought it looked a little much when I first saw it :!: that's why I said I wouldn't want to wear it in public :wink:

Definitely not just you. But to be fair, blinged Lings aren't too highly thought of in these parts. You might get a more positive reaction on a different website - perhaps the Jersey Shore fan forum. :wink:

I surprisingly think this is a fairly nice watch, although Im not keen on the colour of the face. If it were to be white or a rhodium silver/grey much nicer. I also agree that i would not want to wear this in public. I would give some around 1 hour in till they got mugged. Shame not too many people like it. :(

Horrible looking thing - somebody would take your arm off with a machete to get at the diamonds and gold :( .
