The one i want. (customize or not)

i have come to a cross roads in my Rolex collection, i love my 116613LB and i am going to get the 116613LN, these two will be keepers along with the 16610.

the only other's i am after is the Red Sub or Double Red Rub + a Comex.

Right would you ever go down the customization route with a keeper???

thinking of a simple diamond dot dial for one of the 116613's probably the Blue one, i am going to ruin it .


the others i will leave well alone,

Why not buy the blue one with diamond dial instead?

I guess tastes vary but I don't get diamonds on a sports watch.

Or if I am honest, any man's watch.

I have a 16613 blue with the Serti dial and I like it. To each his own. That's why Rolex makes so many variations.

Not my style either as I also like them just the way they leave the factory. Glad you came to your senses :)

I don't think diamonds markers belong on a Professional Oyster but that's just me (I'd like it more on a DJ). Of course if you like it I'd say go for it! Maybe after we could get some coffee to celebrate!

I don't like gemstones on any watch, I personally find it tacky, but that's my tastes. However, if it's something you like the look of, then more power to you. Enjoy it and don't let the naysayers get you down.

If they aren't diamonds installed by Rolex at the factory they are nothing but a lie. One would only have to search my old post to see that it took me a while to learn this. Thank you Fellow members I am a convert to the new church of all factory equiptment watches and life is much better without aftermarket parts.
