Here, I decided to post some pics of my 2008 Datejust with channel set diamond bezel... Have a look!!! Say what you feel. I can take it.. haha

daytona_mania · 22 June 2008, 01:32 AM

I need sunglasses to look at that LOL...its awesome watch...where it in good health!

SPACE-DWELLER · 22 June 2008, 02:05 AM

It looks quite nice, imho!

Is the bezel aftermarket?

HDHNTER · 22 June 2008, 02:30 AM

That's the max level of bling for me before crossing over into rapper territory. Looks very nice, I wouldn't wear it with shorts & flip-flops but definitely good to go for dressier social engagements. Very sharp!

erwin · 22 June 2008, 02:34 AM

I am not into diamond bezels but it looks quite nice and the good thing is you could replace the bezels easily and put it back the way it was!

redshirt1957 · 22 June 2008, 02:35 AM

Who cares what I think! I do like it though.

. Wear it wil a big ole' smile.

SubDiver · 22 June 2008, 02:40 AM

Absolutely stunning watch

GMTcrazy · 22 June 2008, 02:42 AM

Not bad looking!

Not a big fan of Aftermarket diamond parts put on Rolex.
Might not pressure-proof after installing it. Be careful and MAKE SURE you keep your original Bezel if you want Rolex Service to ever work on it again.

Very nice.

puffnmo · 22 June 2008, 02:51 AM

I was at Tourneau yesterday and saw some Rolex's with diamond bezels, if I am remembering correctly.

So - about your watch. Very elegant, very bling, makes a strong statement. I could not wear it (my style is understated), but I love to see people wearing IN-YOUR-FACE things.

Take it to Vegas, wear it with a long sleeved silk shirt, and let it peek out as you place your bets on the table.

Thanks for listening to the babble... Larry.

kenlperry · 22 June 2008, 02:55 AM

Thanks guys! Yes, the bezel is aftermarket, and I still have my original smooth domed bezel also. I've always been a fan of the diamond bezel on a Rolex watch.

Neville · 22 June 2008, 04:33 AM

Bet it would look even better with a jubilee bracelet!

f16570 · 22 June 2008, 04:37 AM

Nice. Not my bag though.

Chris B · 22 June 2008, 04:38 AM

Love that dial Ken, & as long as you like the bezel, who cares?

JJ Irani · 22 June 2008, 04:40 AM

Well....since you asked......if that bezel was ORIGINAL, I may have liked it; but since it's aftermarket, definitely NO!! What can I say? I'm a stickler for ORIGINALITY!!

CoopJr · 22 June 2008, 04:42 AM

As long as you like it...that's all that matters!

Lotsa Bling! But if you're gonna bling you should bling big like this!

Welshwatchman · 22 June 2008, 05:18 AM

You can always return it to it's original state if you ever sell it.

You could also get a fair chunk of your money back on the aftermarket dial too so all is good.

Clarence · 22 June 2008, 05:19 AM

Beautiful - Elegant - Understated - Exceptional!!!

I would wear it daily... But what do I know???

highroller · 22 June 2008, 05:32 AM

How many CT.'s ya got 1.5 2.0 I was thinking about getting one for mine.

I like the bling not all the time but some times

1st, I second the comment that if you like it, that's all that matters!

I have nothing against diamonds on a man's watch. I wore a Serti dial on my Submariner for years.

However...IMHO I would never have them on the outside of the dial, i.e. bezel or braclet. On a woman's watch or a woman wearing a man's watch I think it is fine. Not questioniong your masculinity or taste, it's just too much for me.

As I previously mentioned, YOU DO so...Wear it and enjoy your new watch in the best of health!

Cheers,
David

Baptistman · 22 June 2008, 05:36 AM

Nt my cuppa, but as long as your happy with it, thats all that counts

Magik · 22 June 2008, 06:08 AM

I think it looks very nice, but a little too much for my personality. I wouldn't have a problem with seeing that on anyone though.

Well, normally I would have agreed with you that a Jubilee bracelet looks better on a DJ, especially one with diamonds. However, somehow I really like the Oyster bracelet on this DJ in question. The Oyster bracelet tones down the bling a bit.

infoe · 22 June 2008, 06:15 AM

Some of you will like it and some of you will not. I love it though!!! :-)

And that's all that matters

Nice Watch

kcmo · 22 June 2008, 07:02 AM

Wow-zas!

mborkow · 22 June 2008, 07:09 AM
