Why do Rolex owners hate diamonds

I bought this watch to wear for awhile because it was a good price figured I could unload it whenever I wanted - honestly might keep it I legitimately enjoy wearing it can't describe why. I've never seen a piece like this before and it's turkey something coming from someone who simply just loves a black no date submariner

Watches like this get loads of hate and negative feedback, but I never understood why. It doesn't much bother me I love the watch but people are so quick to bash someone's post with the typical "you murdered a Rolex" or a GIF with a cartoon character stabbing its eyes out LMAO.

ANYWAY I've found a new love to bust down watches but I think I'd only buy ones that are modeled after factory Rolex pieces or extremely clean watches

Almost all aftermarket fully bust down watches are too ugly or obnoxious to actually wear for most people. I still don't really understand the majority of your post. You do you though!

Would I swap 8 of my grandchildren for a Pt DayDate with baguettes?

Would I?



Only if I got to choose the 8.

I don’t hate diamonds. In fact, if someone would loan me their Platinum Daytona with baguettes I would gladly wear it just to prove this point.

Diamonds on your Rolex is very cool, but it has to be factory not aftermarket. Rolex know how to do diamonds tastefully for men. Majority of after market diamonds on Rolex looks ugly.
