hi, i am thinking to buy a Rolex day just I 116233 for my dad, but I can not decide having diamond or not. He is 60. It is 2000$ more for having diamond. What do you think?

Thanks

FeelingTheBlues · 6 June 2012, 12:42 PM

Well I for one like diamonds but even my opinion won't help. Why don't you start by telling us how your father is? What does he like?

By the way, welcome to TRF!

superdog · 6 June 2012, 12:42 PM

depends on what he likes. my opinion: without, never ever with. money is not the issue.

a good watch should cost a lot because of its quality and build. not the extras.

SummerCool · 6 June 2012, 12:47 PM

thanks for your suggestions!

nick c · 6 June 2012, 12:48 PM

diamonds are nice

Bangel · 6 June 2012, 12:53 PM

All depends what your dad likes, though if my son was buying one for me I would much prefer one without diamonds.

SummerCool · 6 June 2012, 12:58 PM

actually, i did get the diamond one today, but right now I am not sure. Sigh

z32turbo · 6 June 2012, 01:40 PM

I would opt for no diamonds if it were me.

FremStar · 6 June 2012, 01:48 PM

For me it's a

either way I am sure your dad will be happy with what you give him! Great gesture!

QueueCumber · 6 June 2012, 01:48 PM

Is your Dad a diamond guy or not?

That is really the important question. None of these folks answering the thread are your Dad....

SummerCool · 6 June 2012, 01:49 PM

opaline460 · 6 June 2012, 02:11 PM

I think he will like it!!

Boopie · 6 June 2012, 02:12 PM

Very nice! That is a thoughtful gift that he will wear and cherish for years.

SummerCool · 6 June 2012, 02:15 PM

thanks! Does anyone know how we tell the year of Rolex from serial number?

77T · 6 June 2012, 02:17 PM

That is a good use of diamonds on a Rolex

I predict he will say, "oh it's beautiful - you spent too much"
But he will love it, too!

That's pretty nice, it's subtle and gives it a bit of a sparkle without drawing to much attention to it. Nice choice!

Liverpool4win · 6 June 2012, 02:21 PM

Nice choice! I am sure your dad would love it.

woow, really hard to tell. Mine starts with 3 numbers then a letter, then 2 numbers, a letter, ending with a number.

It's a random serial number. Regardless it's a new watch until purchased. Those charts are just a guess. Don't put too much emphasis on it. I think it's a great watch. Not too many diamonds at all. You should get son of the year!!!

Dr. Robert · 6 June 2012, 04:45 PM

Your father deserves diamonds.

Bangel · 6 June 2012, 05:24 PM

Great looking watch. Let us know what your dad's reaction is!

Trouble15 · 6 June 2012, 10:44 PM

I'm sure your dad will love the watch. I think the diamonds on the dial are very discrete.
