And what are the batons (which are properly called baguettes) made out of?

To be honest I never thought I’d get any Watch with Diamonds, I thought they were completely OTT. But passing a Rolex AD last year I thought I’d do a bit of window shopping & it was there I first saw the T/T Daytona 116503 (New Model) with the White MOP 8 Diamonds Dial, it really looked beautiful. So that was it, I knew I had to have it, even though I had only purchased a Daytona in 2017. So a month later in May of last year I got it & it really is stunning, would I get another Watch with Diamonds I doubt it, I still think there OTT, but I just had to make an exception in this case. I suppose because it also had the White MOP, it made it more attractive. I really love this Watch

Totally depends on the watch I feel. I don't have any diamonds. But depending on the watch then I would be all for it.

Case by case decision (or dial by dial ;)

I have just ordered (collecting this weekend) a DJ41 with diamonds on Mother of Pearl dial. Around £4K premium for the diamonds and dial, however it's a watch I've wanted for some while, and I feel that the standard DJ41 isn't quite enough on that particular watch.

Horses for courses as we say!

That's the one!!! The best diamond dial watch that Rolex offers imho. I've considered paying to have mine upgraded to that. I love it!!!

Rolex does do diamonds well, but no, shiny expensive rocks that add nothing to a watch but expense do nothing for me.

No matter how well done, they will always be tacky to me.

That is a great upgrade in my opinion and well worth the loss of lume. As others have said it really depends on the watch.

The sparkling diamonds must be extremely enjoyable to stare at when nobody is looking.
