I was wondering why no one ever puts the diamond bezels on their rolexes to make it bling.

Thurnau · 21 March 2007, 10:16 AM

Most diamond bezels are "aftermarket" and void the warranty.
Many of the guys in this forum are sports model crazy, and dislike diamonds in the watch. Rolex does have some nice watches with diamond bezels but the price is unreasonable for what you get.

Diamonds on the dial of datejust...that's a diferent story. I want one.

roachkiller1 · 21 March 2007, 11:02 AM

you see i have a datejust with the diamond bezels. im tellin you i get so many stares and compliments. I know it voids the warrant and rolex will refuse to work on it but its worth it.

^fai^ · 21 March 2007, 11:35 AM

sorry, for me i really do not know how to appreciate bezel with diamonds although their price is sky high...

JackHerer · 22 March 2007, 10:47 AM

bezel no.
dial YES

Thurnau · 21 March 2007, 12:45 PM

I do have a DJ with a diamond dial (diamond hour markers) I like the diamonds more than romans after owning both dial types. For the bezel I am a sucker for the fluted bezel.

Pics please Wayno!

Heres something I found

rolexfan21 · 21 March 2007, 02:32 PM

when i was comtemplating my first rolex purchase i thought i wanted a diamond bezel or diamond dial... but it gets too flashy and its not classy (to me). So i like stuff a bit more subtle.

puffnmo · 21 March 2007, 03:17 PM

I would love a DD with lapis dial & diamond markers. But as far as wearing it it'd not me. It would be a safe queen - I doubt my wife would wear it either... Larry.

Hi roachkiller1

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have sold all my lovely vintage timepieces and what is remaining is just one Rolex Day-date model reference 18048, which I had tried to sell but there was no taker.

This model comes with the Rolex factory diamond bezel and also factory diamond indices. It is now put in storage and would go to one of my sons, when he is able to appreciate quality watches.

Like what some members have pointed out, with a diamond bezel the watch is flashy and attracts lots of attention when on the wrist. I fully agree.

The diamonds used by the factory are IF and of G color. The mounting of the diamonds on the bezel is absolutely great (compared to aftermarket ones) since it will not 'bite' the cloth when cleaning in, unlike those aftermarket ones. I think it is justified that a Rolex factory diamond bezel is highly priced. Just like all Rolex watches, the factory diamond bezel is also in a class of its own.

For everyday wear, I have my faithful old 1970s Seiko Grand Quartz Day-date in stainless steel.

Unfortunately, both these watches are not collectible timepieces.

Thanks and regards.

roachkiller1 · 22 March 2007, 01:23 PM

I agree their flash. but who doesnt like to be starred at or envied. Im going to post pics up soon. I personally love the watch and the bezels.

oyster_don · 23 September 2014, 12:26 AM

I have original Factory Set Rolex Diamonds on the bezel of my 'Super Prez' 18048 Rolex Day-Date Presidential. Diamond markers as well.

Vintageeee.

Cinquecento · 23 September 2014, 12:29 AM

My wife's DJ has a diamond bezel and dial, most likely aftermarket but looks cool and she doesn't seem to care one way or the other lol

inLine4 · 23 September 2014, 01:07 AM

This is the most ice I will ever have on a Rolex. Factory dial and diamonds,

joli160 · 23 September 2014, 02:34 AM

If I could I would, but it would have to be all Rolex, no aftermarket stuff for me.
Diamonds are cool as hell, don't care what anyone says.

Sounds about right. They fo sho' ain't for women only.

Dvenus11 · 23 September 2014, 04:29 AM

a lot of people like adding custom diamond bezels to there datejust or president. A lot of second hand watches on ebay have diamond bezels. But yes keep in mind this does void the warranty.

Majin Buu · 23 September 2014, 04:38 AM

Hi!
They look pretty, but not for me, at least
on casual wear...

Best!
