Was browsing at the Tudor Glamour date+day. They have very elegant designs in All-steel and Two-tone.

As I was looking for a dressy watch, I wonder if it is ok to "dress up" a plain starburst silver dial on steel bracelet by choosing a dial with diamonds

?

Of cos the good old school will be the classic two-tone. But the flamboyant side of me seems to tell me diamonds are ok (or are they not).

Don't frown on me folks :) Just want to tap how people think when they choose / stay away from diamonds on dial.

Diamonds are not forever for me on a watch. Nice on a ring tho.

Concur. If you want to be flashy, get a Breitling.

i think that statement needs to be supported a little better, as there are quite a few breitlings that one would consider a tool watch. take the steelfish for example.

now if you were to get a breitling for bentley series watch then that would be a fair statement.

Bling bling, just don't let the Bezel pop off.

No diamond on bezel. Looking at diamond s on dial.

Bangel · 9 July 2013, 09:59 AM

Of course it is OK.

Not something I would choose for myself though.

crowncollection · 9 July 2013, 10:02 AM

of course if you like it they are fine, i personally have no problem with them obviously

singe89 · 9 July 2013, 12:05 PM

I don't like diamonds on a mens watch but I also don't wear yellow gold. Its all about what you like...if you do I say go for it.

cop414 · 9 July 2013, 12:09 PM

Whatever floats your boat, not for me but it's your watch!

Billywiz · 9 July 2013, 12:20 PM

The Serti dials are superb..i have a daytona and president...low key yet elegant

kymwatchlog · 9 July 2013, 01:03 PM

Thanks for all replies.

Must diamonds strictly go with two tone or yellow gold watches? Will steel work as well?

rolley7 · 9 July 2013, 01:26 PM

No diamonds on my watches.... but if you like them...great! I like them on rings and my wife's watch....but for me...a little gaudy on a man's watch.

Chaching · 9 July 2013, 01:31 PM

David has a really cool collection...hopefully he'll provide you a thread for some of his photos. From an "art" standpoint, I enjoy the heck out of looking at them.

With respect to actually wearing them, just not for some us brushed "tool" watch guys and gals. (Although I own an unadorned WG DD as well.)

wisguy · 9 July 2013, 01:44 PM

I personally don't like diamonds on a watch, at least not for a man.

enricotambunan · 9 July 2013, 02:06 PM

For a Rolex? I prefer diamonds compared to roman/arabic. And yes, im a guy :P

some of these watches are not for daily wear sure, but i am leaving for overseas and they are quite appropriate at the baccarat table of the new singapore casino or in monaco at a casino when i am there in a few days i can't wait. heres a few of my crown collections all diamonds are factory rolex

redsubby · 9 July 2013, 03:13 PM

Of course it is OK. Diamonds are not for female only and don't ever let anyone tell you so.

springer · 9 July 2013, 03:46 PM

I kind of like the serti Submariner dials. My wife has the diamond dial and bezel and the watch looks good on her.

kymwatchlog · 9 July 2013, 03:51 PM

The piece I am looking at is Tudor Glamour Date day silver dial with diamonds. Full steel.

Um, one of each, please.

jojosnr · 9 July 2013, 04:43 PM

Rolex already quite "uncle". With diamonds confirmed UNCLE.

I was indifferent to my diamond dial when I got my day date, but the rocks have really grown on me and accentuate the all gold day date I wear everyday w suit and w jeans and flip flops.

Diamonds go well for both genders, in my opinion. On a dress watch I think it adds a touch of classic class, and on a sport watch like a Daytona or a sub, it ads a touch of personality that helps the foundation of the presence of the watch.

Here is a pic of my diamond dial day date, and here is a pic of a Daytona I'd love to own, both sporting diamonds of different configurations.

And I'd really enjoy this GMT:

I would say yes to diamonds as markers only.
