Thoughts on this watch (diamond dial)

What do you think of this watch on a man? Are the diamonds too much? They wouldn't be my first choice but they only offer gold with diamonds on the markers. The other option would be a ceramic and steel chrono.

Well I voted for the RG and diamonds because I'm a big gold fan but would there be any possibility to have this option without the stones? I like diamond markers but I believe the RG would look rather beautiful with arabic markers.

I voted "none" just cuz I'm not a big fan of the brand. However, if I were to buy one, I'd get the one I liked and have no concern about diamonds on the dial. I find the diamond markers on watches to be very unobtrusive and they're actually better at showing the time than some of the larger romans/arabics.

The only one I really like for men is the blue bezel on the rubber strap
but thats just my personal taste.

Buy which you like the most!

Of those I think I would go with the Chrono. Its a shame they do not offer the Gold without diamonds... While I just am not a fan of the bracelet it does look good with the gold but the diamonds kill it.

I'm not a diamond guy, but the others look pretty nice. BTW shouldn't GMT these days be called UTC?

I just think that diamonds on a mans watch is wrong. But hey if it floats your boat, go for it!

I like them all... even the 3-register chrono is neatly done

If it were my money though, probaby #3 for a smoother look
