With the exception of maybe the rainbow Daytona and that horrible mishmash OP, Rolex has been timeless and classy. Most of the niggerish stuff you see is aftermarket augmentation.
The 4 pieces I have are primarily stainless steel or steel/gold, base level pieces ($8K-$15K) that are fairly common amongst Rolex collectors and don’t have any augmentation. It’s when you get into the precious metals and baguettes ($40K-$500K) where it can start getting a little gaudy, but even then the stones are all in-house and tastefully set—as opposed to some Bukharian Jew bust down special that’s made aftermarket on 47th Street.
