I personally don't like diamonds on wrist watches.

I do not think they are just for girls, but I personaly do not like them. Too flashy, but I am the same way about YG. I did have a diamond dial DJII that I traded in for something else.


That said, the Patek baguetee diamond indices are marvelous! The only masculine diamonds in my opinion!

You’re not a diamond fan but you own a DD covered in diamonds INCLUDING the bracelet!!!

It looks like a Pearlmaster.
Nice watch and a real heavy hitter.

I use to think diamonds and men watches is a big no no.....then I saw the 5170p from Patek and knew I needed one asap. It can be tasteful gents.

Diamonds are not just for Ladies.

I like diamonds on a dial; depends on how they're set in the bezel, though.

I don't like the settings on the DJ diamond dial. The settings over power the stones. Like it is trying too hard to look big but is really mostly setting. Stones that size are surprising cheap. The DJ would look really nice with baguette cut diamond markers. But for me, I like my watches free of diamonds, even if they look nice. Just not for me.


This; spot on for me.

That is the most stunning diamond piece I have ever seen. Love the bar shape diamond markers.

Thank you, yes I really love this Watch & when the sun catches the Dial it is really something to behold. For what I paid for this Model I could have purchased the Daytona Ceramic, at an inflated price but I much prefer the MOP Diamonds

get what you like, they are certainly not just for ladies, go to Asia for a look around and you will see lots of diamond watches on men's wrists

Hell, we should enjoy diamonds just as much as the ladies. I was looking at a DD40 the other day, a yellow gold with black dial and diamond markers. Very subtle, and very outstanding. Or you can go with even more diamonds, there are tons of options. Females seem to enjoy watches, accessories and mens clothing, so no reason guys can't enjoy the diamonds. I almost got a 36mm DJ a few years ago, with Jubilee and Fluted bezel, with diamond markers. Absolutely stunning!

Cheers,
Carl

Had diamonds put on the bezel of the first nice watch I ever bought (Cartier Roadster Chronograph)....but I was also 24 at the time.

38 now and would never think of doing that. I feel PM is more the "classy/adult" way of doing a watch up....and even that is a little much for a lot of people. That being said, if the diamonds are factory from Rolex....hard to criticize it, just not my style anymore (same with pink shirts!).
