Added Diamonds

What do you all think? I added a bezel. I saved my old bezel, in case the watch needs service so we can put the old one back on.

I think the diamonds look great! It is about 3/4 carat in diamonds.

Looks great. A lot of times aftermarket bezels dont look right because the scale of the diamonds is off. Your's looks perfect

To each his own, but for a mans watch, I don't like diamonds and would not have them on a watch I would wear. I think they are fine and in some cases very nice on a watch a lady will wear.

I like the diamond dials and the bezels, but more so on TT models. Except the Subs which need to be left alone. Just my .

I want to make sure you guys know I am female....so that is why I wanted the diamonds. Hehehe! And it is a Ladies Datejust....I plan on getting a nice 3 carat diamond tennis bracelet in white gold to wear with the watch.

Although that puts me at about 25K worth of jewelry on one hand, so it's all insured :)

No such thing as too many diamonds at least not until you get to the GMT Ice..............

and that is definitely too much. Actually even it might be okay if not for the crazy dial..........

Gorgeous! The bezel on the Ladies DJ, are those Saphires at the 12,3,6 and 9 spots? I like that!

I got the white gold and SS so when I get a white gold tennis bracelet, they will match :)

My husband just got his tranny back for his race car, so it's my turn :)

The funny thing is that I would wear that but not daily.

That looks very nice! I would like to do the same to my datejust, but am afraid I wouldn't be able to find someone to do it right.

I think diamonds look great on a lady's watch, not so much a man's (am I sexist?). Me, I have not one single diamond to my name and have no desire for any. JMHO
