;-) Aziz it's a stunning reference for real! It's really a shame my 18946 gets no run! Maybe I can have it turn into a Sky Dweller?

Mmmhmm. Something about that baguette-set bezel and meteorite diamond dial. Complete stunner, even if I'm normally not a huge fan of diamonds on men's watches.

What's the purpose of a diamond bezel? Seriously?

I am a fan of diamonds on watches (to a degree) but sometimes it takes away from the elegance of the piece.

It's not for everyone and in my case I purchased mine just because... It's not what I am into any longer, however, that's why there is something for everyone! That DD2 in your avi is a stunner, however, someone will say... Whats the purpose of a gold watch?

Hey man - your watch looks sexy. I looked at a version of my DD2 w/ a diamond bezel and although I'd pull it off, I felt it made the watch "bling" instead of subtle.

So here's a question for you - how was it wearing a watch that is so loud? Did people pay compliments, others make comments, were u more protective of your left hand? :)

I find with mine, even when I'm in meetings, peoples eyes are following the direction of my left hand rather than staying 100% focused on what's being discussed.

I have a diamond and mop date just - but it's not as noticeable.
