I'm not a fan of diamonds, but that's only my opinion. Take him to a store with watches and ask him which one he likes better.

Call me old fashion but diamonds only look nice on female; too feminine on men, thats my opinion.

Diamonds look great with that model. I like diamonds, though originally i was indifferent. Now I'm a fan.

I'm sure he will love it! Champaign dials with diamonds are classic.

My old fashioned radar went crazy on that post...

It is a matter of tastes but I can understand you don't like it, it's not for everyone (like gold, one might say).

That's a classic watch. The diamonds are, as mentioned, very subtle.

Great gift.
