Just came across this on fleabay. I've never seen a diamond bezel on the skyland before but I must say it looks nice when the bezel is properly done. And this diamond bezel is very well done and looks similar to a factory bezel, what do you guys think?

No! No! No! Not diamonds on one of my favourite watches, please. Having said that ( obviously I would never have a watch with diamonds ), that is a beautiful job done on that one. I have to admit it does look elegant and, thank God, quite understated. I have also seen the odd Windrider Chrono very tastefully done, and do admire the work. Like anything else, if it is done in good taste - and I also realize everyone's taste differs - like this Skyland, it can be quite attractive.
Cheers,
Carl

I think Diamonds look great on certain watches. The skyline looks tasteful but it is more of a rugged watch so it kinda conflicts. Like chrome wheels on a jeep.


For example I think this looks great because it is more of a dress watch style to begin with. It is certainly on the bling side...8) The camera (or most likely the photographer) can not do the watch justice.
