I think that looks great on you and the size is just about right. You are already use to a little bigger watch so I would get the 34mm.

You already have an everyday steel watch so this will complement nicely. It's a very showy watch though so I doubt you'll wear it to work.

Go with the one that makes you happy. If it is a dress watch it should be demure. If the watch has a sports utility then go with the larger size.

it looks fine, but i hope you are buying pre-owned or planning to keep that watch forever. resale is terrible on diamond watches.

I think it looks fine for size, but I'm not a fan of all of those diamonds, honestly.

But hey, I'm not the one who's going to wear it!

Really close on buying this watch! maybe this week!! For a watch this price, would you buy it at AD or try to save a bit and go with a trusted seller like DavidSW?

Wondering why that is? do people not like diamonds? Its funny, because the rest of the watch will have scratches/wear but diamonds are forever.

I tried looking for the watch pre-owned but could not find a 34mm with full diamon bezel. I plan on keeping it forever since hubby is getting it so it will have sentimental values.

Looks great... little bit of a larger size but no where near huge like a smaller woman wearing a DSSD or something (no offense to those that do).

Wear it wherever and whenever you like. As long as you have the confidence to pull it off, it'll work.

I like it. Size looks great but then I prefer a touch larger watch on women. Ellen for example wears men's watches and IDK, its sexy.

My wife has a 34 and as you say she is female and must have diamonds. However she does work in a school so we went with the every other marker is a diamond look.

I say go for it, wonderful watch.

As to your AD vs. TS question. For me every time there is a delta in my mind that makes me go TS vs AD. You have to have your own delta, whatever that is. Something about walking into an AD and getting that whole experience. TS is also fine. The good ones sell only the nicest watches and they explain the condition well. I have used a few on here and have been totally pleased. Nothing like buying from AD though.

You could always get the less flashy YM Wheel of Fortune


I guess you have ruled out white gold? White gold and less diamonds may make it a lot more versatile, of course if that is what you're going for. Regardless it looks good on you

Not a fan of that particular model at all, but I do think the 34 is a good size for you

Quite a few nice options in the general visual sense of the Pearlmaster.


Thank you! Those watches look great. But they're similar in style to my datejust, and the diamond bezel don't wow me. They also don't make the 31mm in rosegold. I tried a 29 in rosegold and the pearlmaster, the pearlmaster just pop a little more.

They do make the 31mm DJ President in rose gold, but not with diamonds on the bezel or case, so not very flashy/"wow", I suppose...

Here are a couple of examples:

i just think that people don't see the value of diamonds on the second hand market. it's kind of like getting a car and doing modifications to it. you will never get your money back on the mods. anyway, since you've said you'll keep it forever, no worries. FWI, 2 out of 3 of my wife's rolexes have diamonds.

I kinda guessed that from the dress in the picture.

To answer your earlier question, yes, I would buy it from David. He offers excellent pricing and you know it's real stuff. Email him for a quote.

Plus you save on sales tax.

You're not the only one who prefers 29mm in yellow/rose gold watches. For rose gold and all those diamonds, etc., I would go 29mm. I just see 29mm as more of a long term lady like size and perfect for the MOP, colored metal, and all those diamonds. Stunning watch either way. OP should get the size she loves most and can see herself still loving 10+ years from now.

The one in the middle. I think it's a perfect fit. Not crazy about the color (personal choice), but the size and style is spot on.

You're a very lucky woman if I may say so. I cannot believe you're buying this piece new!

I think rose gold looks better on you. I'd go for the MOP dial. If you're going for a show off piece, might as well go all the way. That dial will look different each time you look at the watch.
