I don't like diamond dials period. (Pardon the redundant punctuation.)

Aside from that issue, I would steer clear of aftermarket dials but that's just me. I'd worry about the warranty, and the quality of the replacement dial.

I think the DDII with the diamonds for the numbers looks very nice. they are small and hardly noticeable. But other than that I haven't seen any on wetiher the bezel or dial that I particularly care for.

I'm not a fan of anything aftermarket when it comes to Rolex.

No diamonds, no MOP, no aftermarket.


At least not for me...

Tear Gas

This idea is the tear gas of the watch world. It induces violent retching and vomiting, streaming and itching eyes, and can clear any room in seconds.

Your arabic dial is very unique and looks good to boot. I would not touch it.

Hmmm.... Well you do list your residence as "Jersey Shore" so I guess the diamond dialed rolex and pinky rings are probably required in your CC&R's

I decided not to mess with my watch, however a diamond pinkie ring will make up for it. The Jersey shore is not as bad as you see on TV, where I live its just Syrian Jews. Like my grandfather I love diamond necklaces rings and bracelets. It must be a Russian Jew thing, we all seem to dress the same.

I have diamonds on my Rolex watch and I do enjoy having them on it as well. I can respect that some of the members here may not like seeing diamonds on a man, but that is their preference not mines. I love diamonds as well as other gemstones so if I want to wear them I will.

If anyone doesn't like seeing me wearing diamonds, then look the other way because I may blind you if you look too hard...LOL!

I have a TT DJ, as well as a Tridor .. The DJ has factory diamond dial, and the Tridor has factory diamond dial and bezel .. Both look very nice .. I have seen subs with aftermarket diamond bezels as well as other professional models and I would otuch them .. It's all a matter of what the individual likes .. I once saw a 16013 TT DJ with a aftermarket diamond dial, and I didn't like it .. Look like it ruined a classic
