The Lady Diver

From Ulysse Nardin -

And in all honesty, this is a watch that stands as a reminder that just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you should.   But like any good train wreck, it is often hard to look away.

I need to be fair here and underscore that in certain markets, this watch might do exceedingly well.

And a few of the versions are not quite so unsettling.

My assumption is that the strap comes in four parts and is secured by either the gold, stainless steel  or titanium inserts (some with diamonds) as I would not like to imagine what replacing those items  would cost when the rubber starts to crack or get smelly ; )
