The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Breitlings shipped with diamonds are warranted just like any other they sell.

if BREITLING installed the diamonds, i dont think the watches he is looking at are factory diamonds

[quote="O2AFAC67"][quote="kuslamb"]I am not here to argue his taste. I mean he is a pro gambler, is anyone suprised. I am just glad its not one with diamonds on the bracelet and all that awfulness.


hey Ron,

I would love to pop your bezel on my CE TT....

So you're really not then a fan then at all BoneDoc

They don't float my boat either. I rather agree with the sentiments expressed above. I'd be embarrassed to wear or even be seen in one. Would much rather spend money on something more understated; a classic and technical marvel.

Still each to their own Good luck with it all.

DiamondWorks refers to a collection of Breitling watches, made by Breitling and set with stones by Breitling. When you buy these, it is just like going to buy any other Breitling. You still get the warranty, the cosc, the booklet, but also the cert for diamonds. The watch you are talking about is little known and didn't hit the market as well as they hoped it would. It is a steel version of Flying B with diamonds going down each side of the case. In a single row. That is NOT aftermarket. Again, I already contacted you and am trying to work something our through PM. Waiting on response.

I totally agree that a PP 5970 is a watch for the very wealthy, but as Roff said it, most average people in the street wouldn't know it. In my opinion (and this is just my opinion) a 5970 is a more tasteful (and dare I say, classy) choice than a Diamondworks piece. As I've said on here before, I personally buy watches for me and me alone, but the totally encrusted Dimondwords pieces (and I specifically mean the ones with the diamond covered bracelets) always strike me as something people buy to impress others. I'm sure some aren't, but I just feel that most probably are.

To me, less is often more. I've got mates who cannot remotely comprehend the cost of my Big Pilot because it looks pretty simple and plain. They seem to think it should have diamonds on it for the price it is, but to me it's exactly the type of watch I was after. Diamonds just aren't me. (Although if they were, I'd be going for something like Ron's gorgeous Chronomat, as Ithink that strikes just the right balance).

Anyway, I agree that discussions about individual perceptions of taste tend to be potentially emotive and rocky grounds. Forums are all about people's opinions - no-one is right and no-one is wrong - it's just opinions. Diamondworks are just not for me (which is fortunate as I couldn't afford one anyway! ), but if they float some people's boats (as they evidently do), then go for it! :thumsbup:
