Ok, what does SERTI stand for or mean? Heard it, saw them, OK but, where did this term originate?

Anyone?

Jim would like to use this opportunity to state that he is in no way affiliated with Dreamwatches. He is just cheap and wants his forum buddies to get a good deal.

No, it's gonna be a credit note for Goldsmiths...

I think I read on here french/english translation of somewhat "set in bezel"

Serti aka "nipple" dial.

I'm not sure that is the same thing, a nipple dial has nothing to do with stones at all.

It is a thicker ring around a SMALLER lume dot.
Hence, looks like a nipple.

Thanks for pics Frostie. Does anyone own one ?

I have been wearing a SD daily for about 8 years now, and absolutely love it. The only time that I would take it of was when welding or working with harsh chemicals.

Recently, my better half [my wife, for those that think diamonds/sapphires in a man's watch implies something else] bought me a SS/YG sub with the champagne Serti dial. While it is definitely a bit towards the blingy side, I feel as though it is still tasteful. Now I have a choice, depending on mood, not attire.

The only downsides are the lack of illumination for the hour markers, and the fact that I am having difficulty in getting used to the magnified date.

Her casual watch is a 29mm SS/platinum YM, and her dressy one is a 26mm SS/WG fluted DJ with the MoP dial, diamond hour markers, and Jubilee bracelet.

Your wife and I have similar tastes. My casual watch is a 29mm TT YM, and my dressier watch is the same as hers, but TT. I love them both.

Sorry, a little late to chime in. Here's mine. I absolutely love it. I also wear mine with jeans a nice shirt/t-shirt. Just enough gold and SS to be not "too blingy" IMHO. And serti means "set".

It is nice to know that classy ladies can have similar good taste, Ms. TH. She is into plat/WG to match her other jewelry; for whatever reason she doesn't particularly care for YG. Thanks.
