I'm not a huge fan of diamonds on watches in general but I actually really like that. Not a huge fan of the Roman Numeral dial though. Not sure why but they never really did it for me. Fantastic watch though.

Looks like a womans watch to me but as others have said as long as you like it that is what counts. It would be a boring place if we all wore Subs.

I like the bling not all the time but some times

It's 1.5ct... Channel set. It gives it a nice look, but not too over the top, atleast in my opinion!

Well, Ken - I think it looks GREAT

The aftermarket bezel is a little bit over the top for me. But, it is your watch and your wrist. Wear what you like and enjoy it without wondering what we all think about it.

BigHat · 22 June 2008, 08:54 AM

That you like it is all that matters. Somebody has to buy the men's diamond Rolexes.

Edit: Just noticed it's on SS though. Tsk tsk.

For me, only the real thing. That is a Rolex aversion of mine.
However, if you love it, enjoy the bling and hope it has those magical powers associated with diamonds.

Thanks, but maybe I'm a little confused. The diamonds are real and the bezel is made of white gold. So what do you mean when you say "only the real thing"? Are you making a point that if the bezel and diamonds don't come from Rolex then it's not the real thing?

Nice Watch

I like it.

Thanks for sharing these photos with us.

I really like the watch and the bezel. It has a clean elegance and actually is kind of "understated" for a gentleman's diamond watch.

Wear it with pride as I know I would.

I am not in to diamonds on mens watches in general, but I've got to admit that looks stunning.
I think it must look great with its original bezel too.

The only place that I would prefer diamonds or any other gemstone on a watch would be the hour markers. I'm not really a big fan of having diamonds on the outside of the watch. However, I think the look on your DJ is a nice look.

where you been man? nice to see you posting!
Ken: bit too much for me, but it's your statment, enjoy!

I like it and would feel comfortable wearing it with shorts and sandles. My wifes lady DJ TT has an aftermarket diamond bezel that along with the blue stick dial is the reason I bought it. I tried to like a lady DJ with diamond dial, but just couldn't. The diamonds on the dial seemed to crowd the dial and make the watch look smaller IMO. If I did decide to purchase a Rolex with diamond dial, it would have to be an original, I wouldn't want an aftermarket dial.

Where do the aftermarket dials come from anyway, and how do they get away with marking them with the Rolex name and crown.

Thanks! I actually feel very comfortable wearing it when naked, so I'm sure I'd feel just as comfortable wearing it with whatever clothes I may be wearing at any given time, be it a suit, a nice shirt and slacks, shorts and sneakers(I don't wear sandals much, trust me, you guys don't want me to post pics of my big toe), etc....

Harry_III_UK · 23 June 2008, 10:48 AM

I actually like that!

Good thing you also have the "official" bezel too though!

Well, from a female perspective, it's hot!
