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. Quit spouting garbage.

People don’t buy a Rolex anymore because it keeps great time, I have a cell phone if I want to keep track of time. It’s conspicuous consumption, that’s it. I understand what you’re saying. I’m aware of where Rolex stands in the watch community. It is still a luxury piece, with luxury goods, with a luxury price tag.

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.

Cody, Every time I think you couldn't come up with a cooler idea than your last video, you surprise me. I'm into metallurgy and I just love your videos! You deserve every view. You work very hard studying, doing Science, thinking about video ideas and editing videos, that nobody sees. Thank you for making these videos!

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.

From what I can find, there are 48 bezel diamonds, plus the 10 dial diamonds. Rolex doesn't like to give exact diamond info for their watches. They're probably 0.02 carat diamonds, supposedly of fairly high quality. They should weigh 0.22g total. If you were buying them (and it's hard to find prices for loose diamonds that small) you might pay $20 each. The diamond market being what it is, you might be able to sell them for $20 total.

Diamonds are worthless at that size. Even most pawn shops won't take em. 1 karat and up at a Leo grade might be worth something. The saying diamonds are forever is true. There is a an abundance of them and they don't go anywhere. Plus the industrial use for diamonds is very low. The only way to make real money with diamond is size. Most diamonds aren't large so to harvest larger diamonds means rarity which means money.
