Daytona - Diamonds vs no diamonds

[0nly5iv3Digits]

Diamonds can be a “girls’ best friend” - not my bag, though.

Seems a bit much on a "tool watch" to me......

Diamonds do not belong on a man’s watch.

Bingo! I don't like them unless its baguette due to the setting. I like how they did it on the old serti subs and gmt's. You need to buy what sings to you.

The only diamond dials I find aesthetically pleasing are the subtle baguette markers on the Platinum Daytona. The old 5 reference seri GMT/Sub was also acceptable due to the discrete diamond setting/mount. All the gold set multi-cut diamonds on other dials look garish to my eyes detracting from the beauty of the overall watch.

for me the watch is just a man's jewel... and a jewel with diamonds is more precious

Love mine .. the way the light dazzles off the sub dial borders and diamond is amazing..

I feel this is a very personal choice but I’d take the baguette markers on the platinum daytona all day long!

I wish the new Platinum Daytona with open caseback, had the baguette hour markers and full ice blue dial with no brown subdials. Just my opinion.

Whatever makes YOUR toe-tap...

Just posted this pic on the Daytona Pics Only thread. This is my only full PM piece. I like the bling from time to time.

Plus, I can pull it of better than MJ.

Any PM Daytona with the round diamond hour markers just looks like a ladies watch. I wouldn’t even wear it, though. It’s too gaudy! The exception is the platinum with baguettes. I could wear that one.

No diamonds for me but some with diamonds do look pretty nice.

[ArtNouveau]

I guess that Rolex missed your mandate.

that gold day-date with the black dial and baguettes is EXACTLY the configuration I'll be seeking, if/when I finally decide to go after a day-date for my collection. Nice 3-piece spread ya got there!

[Robf52]

Baguettes for me.

[gamingdoctor]

I don't like them with diamonds.

It's pretty telling that the Daytona's with diamonds are selling comparably to those without.

[gekido3uzf]

To each their own I guess..

[MichelleP]

I prefer no diamonds except for the Platona. This is my only watch with diamonds

Not my cup of tea, especially on a professional model, but it’s your watch so buy and wear what you like.

I suppose it is why they are made with diamonds: if no one liked them, they wouldn’t be making and selling so many.
