Which will you choose and WHY ?

~Ocho1~ · 4 July 2024, 04:14 AM

Baton for me. Just not a fan of diamonds on a mens watch.

javier · 4 July 2024, 04:47 AM

Baton is more classic

Imho you really need to see the diamond in person. MUCH better than pic above... i vote the baguettes, see pics below.

In this specific reference I actually do like the diamond batons. Generally I’m not a fan of them though

jb335 · 4 July 2024, 06:09 AM

I don’t care for batons on a modern DD. Looks way too much like a DJ.

In this matchup, I’d go baguettes but I like the deconstructed Romans best.

Could go either way, but slight preference for the diamond one.
Both beautiful options!

I have this exact watch with the baguette dial and it looks incredible my favorite watch I've owned

100% baton over diamonds for many reasons but the biggest one is because diamonds are a girls best friend (and I’m a guy) and the other is because I like to be able to see what time it is in the dark.

Life is short buy the watch-

I mean it’s a bloody golden DD, might as well go all the way with the ice.

csaltphoto · 4 July 2024, 01:17 PM

I think the batons fit in better with the design integrity of the watch. Gold surrounds like the case and bracelet, white lume like the hands.

The diamonds look great but I wouldn't wear something with diamonds on the dial. Batons for me, preferably lumed.

Batons for me.

Diamonds on Men's watches were a no for me until I tried on a Platinum Day Date with Meteorite dial that had the diamond baguettes and it was drool worthy. They had it at WOS in Vegas at the Wynn for $100k.

My new favourite watch. You can't even tell they're diamond markers without looking closely - which I like.

I am just not a diamond guy…so has to be baton lume for me. That was my choice on my watch.
