I dont understand the hatred for diamonds on mens watches either?

It can be tasteful and to be honest they are super clean markers for the hours....I love it! Although on this watch I do prefer the original look

The original is still my favourite, but obviously I could struggle on with this option too

I think the diamonds look great on this watch, but for me removing the chocolate dials kinda made the face look washed out

I understand they probably did that to highlight the diamonds, but I think for most since we were used to the subdials it looks a little off

May have been more apealing if they just put the diamond markers on the orignal dial

Diamonds are fun. I think this is a classy take on a diamond dial.

Diamonds are just not my cup of tea for a man's watch. I leave the sparklers for the wife.

Does this mean they will stop producing the original dial with the chocolate chrono rings? Are both dials now available?
