Platinum Daytona - with or without Baguettes?
I have never liked any watches with diamonds before, but for some reason I have come to really love the platinum Daytona with the baguette dial. And I prefer it much more to the non-diamond model.
Which dial variation do you prefer?

Platinum and diamonds are the perfect compliment.

Without. Looks more like a classic Daytona.

Platinum Daytona - with or without Baguettes?
Diamonds on an ice blue dial platinum watch are like peanut butter and jelly.

On this model the discrete almost imperceptible use of baguettes creates subtle harmony to the overall dial configuration. Its one of the few if not the only non garish diamond bezel Rolex’s.

I wanted baguettes with motif on my DD40 but that's not an option so I took motif with lume. I dont' know which way I would have gone if I had the option of the baguettes and normal Ice Blue vs Ice Blue Motif...
I’d go baguette for the Daytona. |

Seen both side by side, get the bling.

I’m not a big fan of diamond dials, but would have to think long and had about this one.
