    Those diamonds appeared to be around 0.10ct. It's hard to tell in the video but they were probably Imperfect grade i3M to i3O.
    That means they'd be around $40 - $75 a piece. They looked very pink in the video, and I counted 50 of them. So you'd have at least $2500 in diamonds if they were $50 a piece i3O quality.
    However, diamonds have an incredibly low resale value. So if you brought them in to a jewelry shop they'd probably give you less than $1000 for them all.

      What is i30? Do you mean I3? Even if they were D/I3 diamond max rap is 35 each, I don’t know where are pricing diamonds but you’re 100% wrong.
      Secondly, the diamonds are not even close to .10ct each. This is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust, looks like a men’s 41mm. That means the bezel is approximately 128 mm around, with 50 diamonds the largest stones you could fit would be 2.5 mm each - or .05 carats.
      Lastly, this is a diamond bezel on a Rolex. Rolex is not going to use subpar I3 goods. These are almost 100% VS+ goods with G+ color.

      They are worthless. You can buy them for way less than a dollar per piece. A usual automatic watch uses about 17 jewels. A luxury watch with date usually not more than 34. So it might be about 24 for the Rolex, which concludes in roughly about 20 dollar if they were new.

    The reason it is $7k, it not in the materials. It is in the craftsmanship and the quality. The gold Rolex uses is always 18K gold and the steel is a Rolex's own 904L steel, that is made to look ekstra special when polished. There is also the MOP dial with diamond hour marks and a fully encrusted bezel with diamonds, that of course adds up in the value. You also pay for the name Rolex, but that DateJust is actually worth a bit more than $7k, since their watches are highly sought of.
