Rose Gold Daytona oyster flex question

Was looking at a rose gold oyster flex Daytona 126515LN with black diamond dial. First time seeing the rose gold or diamonds in person. The diamonds were crazy bright and shiny. Nothing like the pictures I see online for this watch. For anyone who has it, can you wear it casually? When I saw it online I though it was not too flashy, but after finally seeing it in person it seems very flashy. Worried it’s too dressy with the diamonds? I’m typically a jeans/chino, and polo shirt type guy. Any pics welcome as well.
Thanx

I dont own it but have seen it and it’s bling city for me, the rose is lovely, but as a dress watch .. that’s where I am with the diamond setting …

I also prefer this particular watch without the diamond dial (and I've always had diamond dials on all my watches)

This is the exact watch I bought my wife. She loves diamonds on rings, but not watches.

What I can say having tried different version with and without diamond is that diamond looks overall less flashy if you go for full metal jacket daytona. On OF they are more visible because overall the watch is more muted.

My personal opinion is: OF no diamond since is more sporty while full metal jacket good to go with diamond, totally another watch

Not that I had a choice but if I did for an OF definitely no diamonds.

I did opt for diamonds on my pm daytona on bracelet.

Agree on no diamonds for OF. Rubber strap keeps the watch more casual and diamonds just don't make sense there creating extra bling.
