Whats your opinion on this diamond dial?

Whats your opinion on the YM 40 RG with the diamond dial?
Is it a bit much?
I wonder how rare it is in comparison to the Gummy bear (116695SATS)

Looks cool, to me. No idea how rare, but I have never seen one.

Honestly it looks great, from afar it looks a white dial but its quite expensive. That watch is double the price of thebusual YM oysterflex RG.

Looks cool but it's definitely going to be difficult to tell the time on a sunny day.

I saw one yesterday at the AD I go to. It’s a unique watch but to be honest, I think it’s more suited for a lady

The thing is though there is an identical 37 mm version much more suited for ladies... IMO I think the 40mm size of this will add that touch of masculinity it needs..

I think this is one of those watches that you need to see in person to truly appreciate.

Throw away the rubber and put it on a gold bracelet and it would look the part.

Never liked anything that seeks too much attention. Subtle elegance has always been my thing.

I prefer the more restrained serti dials. This piece screams "let's see how many diamonds we can fit on a dial", it's a bit much to me but as they say to each their own.

Not a huge fan. Think the black dial compliments the oysterflex better.
