I'll say it again. Diamonds are for women. There is actually no watch in the history of mens watches that look good with diamonds on it. IMHO of course. It's like the white SOII. Womens watches.

Your opinion is not all that humble, it would seem. You're entitled to it, but I don't fully agree. As has already been mentioned, on the right watch, worn by the right man, diamond hour markers can be quite nice. I would cite the recent rhodium-dial Rolex DJII as at least one watch in the history of men's watches that looks good with diamonds on it. I would have no problem wearing it under the right circumstances, and I wouldn't feel any less manly for doing so.

Personally, I would only be comfortable with diamonds when used as hour markers. Diamond bezels are way too much for me, although Breitling's are relatively tastefully done.

Thx man. Well, I do value everyone's opinions, and that's why I asked the question as I would like to know if a certain style is considered acceptable or not. At the end of the day, I'll still do what I like though. I was hoping to hear from someone who's done it or ordered/purchased it as such, to hear what they thought of it and if they regretted it.

search liroi diamonds on the search funtion on here and there should be a few articles of other members that have ordered from them in the past. according to the posts they do pretty good work.
