A lot of people like to fly under the radar, myself included. I'd have to guess that a SS Sub gets noticed more than a WG one does

FeelingTheBlues · 14 January 2014, 09:41 PM

I find that a lot of watches with diamond markers (and even diamond dials or bezels at times) look very nice, however, I must admit I still prefer the Submariner without diamonds. To me it just looks nicer.

SixPak · 14 January 2014, 10:26 PM

To me diamonds are definitely a girl's best friend but that doesn't mean a guy cannot have some diamonds on their watches as long as it's done tastefully. And I find a subtle touch of diamonds on the markers add a touch of class and luxury to a watch, even a sports watch. Tom's WG Sub and Ken's platy DD are two such examples. Very fine taste, gentlemen!

for yourself

mtrunner · 14 January 2014, 11:52 PM

I have to go with the overall consensus and say no on the diamonds especially if you are going to wear it daily. Actually no matter how often you wear it or for what occasion I still say no on diamonds on a men's watch.

Many people like nice things, but do not want to flaunt them. WG/Platinum let you have a precious metal without the flash of yellow gold.

Racerdj · 25 January 2014, 11:50 PM

It depends on the dial color. IMO the White Gold Sub needs nothing else.

petenyc · 26 January 2014, 12:02 AM

no diamonds

On the WG Sub, I would not like to have them. Other models, maybe

SaddleSC · 8 February 2014, 12:17 PM

I had the opportunity to try both versions of the WG Sub on in Las Vegas last summer and I was surprised how much I like the diamond dial. It is very subtle and I did not find it to be flashy or "over-the-top" at all.

The only thing that I am not sure that I like (which I am not sure has been mentioned or not) is the fact that the diamond dial has a thin silver frame around the date aperture. I would prefer that it didn't. Other than that, the diamond bezel looks great!

mruhland31 · 8 February 2014, 12:24 PM

Not for me but of course you have to go with what makes you happy. I think the WG Sub makes enough of a statement. Just my opinion.

I totally agree. However I'd miss the lume.

Mystro · 8 February 2014, 01:34 PM

Yes...oh yes. Can't go that big with out some tasteful diamonds.

Trouble15 · 8 February 2014, 01:35 PM

I vote no diamond dial on this reference.

Bullitt44 · 10 February 2014, 04:56 AM

I like the diamonds on the WG Sub. Normally I would not, but dig it on this one!!

TraceyJW211 · 10 February 2014, 06:54 AM

another female opinion - for my man I would go without the diamonds....but each to their own. Both are fine looking examples

superdog · 10 February 2014, 10:39 AM

love both ways. it is stunning with that blue.

Starbucksboss · 10 February 2014, 11:26 AM

Diamond dial look simply elegant. If you can then you should ...I have both President with MOP diamond dial and Daytona diamond dial and never had so many compilments.

TK-710 · 10 February 2014, 11:51 PM

No

Art 1 · 11 February 2014, 01:18 AM

For me, no.

Joranb · 11 February 2014, 03:42 PM

Ooh dear! The diamonds look absolutely appalling! I don't like them, and certainly not on a men's watch.

Timkee0 · 11 February 2014, 03:49 PM

I personally love diamond dials. I think they look great on the Day Date and Submariner.
