While some traditionalist will scoff at a Patek, Rolex or Advantages of Busting Down Watches being fully iced out (meaning all of the case, bezel and bracelet is covered in diamonds), the trend is quickly becoming more accepted. In fact, some of the most prestigious luxury brands are now working with jewelers to help them customize their watches in order to achieve a more iced out look.

In the past, most iced out watches were made from aftermarket parts, but now high-end jewelry designers are taking the original watch and carefully disassembling it to “bust down” it, then meticulously after-setting each piece with diamonds and other gemstones. This is a very delicate and time-consuming process that requires a highly skilled jeweler.

For example, New York based jeweler Greg Yuna recently helped Russell Westbrook rock a fully iced out white gold Patek Nautilus that was expertly after-set with diamonds and baguette-cut sapphires.
