I think a man of his calling could do without the diamonds.

I don't care that much about it really. To each his own, but diamond-encrusted DDs just seem to scream "pimp". Maybe that's the image some guys are looking to project ?

Excuse my ignorance on this one, but what did you mean?
I like bling. I think each person sees it differently. One sees a pimp. One sees a jewelry enthusiast. One sees it as gaudy. I love jewelry. I have many chains, bracelets, rings, and watches with diamonds and I like it. Like everyone says to each his own. I also like the quiet Rolex's as well. I guess, I am just that versatile in my taste for watches and Jewelry. Anyway, the watches that pacman has are really sweet! Is there no bling smiley? hahaha |

I think it's all a matter of enviroment too, If I turned up on a building site with a 18k diamond encrusted watch of any brand I would look a plonker, SS sports models blend in nicely though. If I was at a charity or hunt ball the 18k/Diamond would look natural where a sports watch would look a little on the casual side.

I must admit that I have in the past never been into mens watches with diamonds but recently I have seen some mens rolex's with them and I do like them a lot, the way the diamonds catch the light is rather wonderful.
I think this chap shows he is secure with who he is so does not care what others percieve him to be. Now then, if I was working in a job that was rough like safetrends I too would want something simple and strong..would Be nice though to have that DD for weekends and evenings ![]() |

![]() ![]() I would think in your line or work as well something solid and understated like a tool type rolex would make someone feel more confident in using your services. I know it it were me and I had someone do some work of a security based nature and they showed up wearing A ss Rolex I would think heck this guy cares about the details! |

I understand especially in work environments (such as yours safe) I am just saying what I like. And because someone else doesn't, it does not mean they are any worse or better than me, just have a different opinion. We are all friends Safey! I was just commenting that's all. If I caused a fire storm, sorry about that. I meant it with all the respect and honor in the world! ![]() |

Wow, I'm thinking of starting a new career as a troll.
![]() Hey, I'd be a good one too !. No three little smart-assed first year punk wizards would get over on me. They'd be light snacks. ![]() What follows is my opinion only. YMMV There are some dress watches that I like with diamonds, especially on the dial. When you start getting into "pave"-style encrusting, they get too over-the-top for my taste, although I think Liberace probably would wholeheartedly approve. BTW, how's everybody like them hip, sassy, Leopard Daytonas ? What red-blooded burly man's man would want to be without that ?

For someone who grew up with nothing, it's sometimes ok to show off and enjoy the sweetness of success!
