    This is the pride and joy of my collection, unfortunately I rarely get to wear it living in London, for it is instantly recognisable and I would be shot or stabbed for it! I wear this only to special events/occasions to which I travel to by car.
    I had this watch iced in South Africa in 2007 at a cost of around 70,000 Rand (£7000) this included the stones and the workmanship.
    The watch was originally bought from a Unclaimed Pawn Auction and I paid £4,700 for it (18ct Gold) which was cheap. The watch now stands me at £11,700 but with 12 carats of diamonds and the price of gold at what it is, this baby is currently valued for insurance purposes at £35,500 due to the diamond quality.
    A good investment and another watch that will eventually end up with my Grandson. He loves watches now at 3, so by the time he inherits my collection, he will have a passion for them. (at least that is what I am hoping for)
    Going back to S.A in December and taking a friends Breitling out there to get iced - bezel & case 45,000 rand (£4000)

      Do with you wish with your money but it pain's me to see original watches customized like this. While of great value to the owner, the watch will never command it's full value again.
