What do you guys think of the diamond-faced DJs and or the ones with beaded bezels, champaign dial? I don't see much talk of them here, but they are my 2 choices. In the pre-owned market, the price difference between them isn't that significant. So, which one looks better (or neither?). Is the beaded-bezel one too showy? Does it attract too much attention?

Speed · 26 March 2011, 11:50 AM

Not a fan.

A little too feminine IMO.

But glad you like them.

Justjosh · 26 March 2011, 11:53 AM

I personally like subdued diamond markers on a silver, white, or light blue face.

BarkMaster · 26 March 2011, 11:57 AM

The first one looks better to me.

tripleC · 26 March 2011, 11:58 AM

Diamonds Are forever lol.

Art 1 · 26 March 2011, 11:59 AM

Not for me but my wife likes hers.

ingoodtime · 26 March 2011, 12:02 PM

My wife has the TT datejust with tahitian black pearl diamond dial and diamond bezel. It looks great. But, imho, only some mens datejust can handle the diamond dial and bezel.

watch watcher · 26 March 2011, 12:08 PM

Ouch...looks like the top one is the safer choice, then...lol

The top would be my choice of the two.

tkc324 · 26 March 2011, 12:24 PM

This has been disussed before... i think most people here dont like it... but get what you love... its your watch after. I think the first one would be the better choice of the two.

SkyKing31 · 26 March 2011, 12:30 PM

My DJ has a diamond dial .. I really like it .. Not sure what I think of the bezel .. It all comes down to what you like and what you want .. Get the rolex that is going to make you happy .. Good luck .. Remember that no matter which Rolex you choose, it is still a Rolex and Rolex is perfect

oneillba · 26 March 2011, 12:38 PM

The top one. Check Out my avatar for my answer.

MortgageGuy · 26 March 2011, 12:54 PM

My wife also has a TT DJ (FLOWER BOMB) flower dial with the diamond bezel it is the 36mm size and she is madly in love with it... For me no diamonds

Dr. Robert · 26 March 2011, 01:16 PM

I like the first one. Looks good on the TT DJ, w/ champagne dial....more subdued than your 2nd choice.
I don't think it looks feminine.
I also like the TT sub w/ diamond markers.
P.S. If you get the watch you can sing Diamonds are Forever....by Shirley Bassey & Goldfinger....also by the great Shirley B. Oh yeah, sing Moonraker too, she's the only singer to sing 3 songs/3 Bond films!

Love the diamond dials!

sandalgirl · 3 June 2011, 12:32 PM

Love, Love, Love that watch.

paverman · 3 June 2011, 12:39 PM

Not a big fan of diamonds on mens watches. The only one I like is the single diamond set into the case of my PP 5960P

Having said that, everyone has their own tastes and you should get what you like regardless of what others think.

sherwin · 3 June 2011, 01:52 AM

Diamond on the dial is ok; bezel can be slightly out there. Depends on the situation and setting i guess.

I used to wear my 16233 diamond dial to class

no one would bat an eyelid; cept for the couple of lecturers who were into watches.

kcmo · 3 June 2011, 01:52 AM

I like the diamond markers because they're subtle....as for the diamond bezels, it's just 'too much' for me.

That pretty much sums it up.

IMO diamonds on a watch is strictly for women, but they can pull it off

Always looks great on you, Mark-O! You don't have any trouble reading the dial? I've always liked the look of the black diamond dial, but I find the WG hands difficult to read against the dark dial...

Thanks, my WISta! Nope, no problem MOST of the time. In dark lighting it's sometimes difficult.
