Sure, why not? In for a penny in for a pound as they say in GB. Put as many diamonds as you can fit. It's already a very, well, unique piece so might as well "take it to town"

But, I gotta ask - where did you purchase this, this timepiece? Was it super-expensive?

x2 Big obviously aftermarket diamond parts are a no no for me too. It completely obstructs the crown.

No that you have purchased I think that you should get it serviced, you want this watch to last you a lifetime, so you can wear it daily

You pointed out what I was missing. My first thought was this is not proportional.

1) I really like it that's why I got it.
2) I bought it on eBay and paid through paypal there is 100% money back if it's fake or even if I don't like it.
3) It was serviced and have all the paperwork for it.
4) The price is the same as a new Sub which I was planning on buying originally but just didn't have that unique look I was going for. If I spend my money I want to get what I like and this is what I really like.

You paid the same price as a new Sub??

Do you know the market price of the watch without the aftermarket bezel? The value of those diamonds doesn't add up to the difference. But as long as you like it........ I think someone made out really well on Ebay on this transaction.......

How can you tell I over paid if you don't even know the diamonds that are in the bezel? Is that just a internet guess that I got robbed?

Welcome and Enjoy your watch!! If we all had the same tastes, this would be a very boring forum. I look forward to seeing your next purchases.

An educated guess.

Ideally I hope you didn’t actually pay what a new sub (date or no date) costs, but as long as you like it, that’s all that really matters.
