Ha! I wonder if it's me, since it seems the majority here don't particularly like diamonds on a man's watch. Women seem to like them on my watches though. Imagine that!

My subtle bling:


My bling bling(it's not a Rolex, but....):

I used to own this one, which could be considered a bit blingy by some (though not me).

It has not been off the hand of the new owner for a second, whereby I only wore it a dozen times at most.

Thats not bling it's a classical looking watch. Even diamonds round the bezel I would only refer to as "blinish". When they start breeding with one another and start spreading around the bracelet, like creaping ivy, then it becomes BLING with a capitol B!

The acid test of BLING is would Jay-Z wear it?

My husband just wandered by the computer and said, "Is that a Rolex? That's crazy." I have always thought a woman could carry it off nicely, and I believe you have succeeded!

If you asked this question last year, my answer could be yes, a least every good earning family should have one blingy Rolex.
Now, everything is different! Some prices have gone up more than x2!

Unfortunately, poor daddy got it for me after the huge price increase, and the huge discount decrease LOL

And yup! They're sapphires.

Umm Felly is winning thus far. Kenlperry gets an honorable mention for the invicta.

PS- I have an Invicta and absolutely love it. Of course it looks exactly like the 16610, so that why. Looking to finally replace it with the real thing!

not really sure, but the one on the right with the brown strap looks to me like it has an aftermarket bezel and diamonds on it..
