lol, I meant that Rolex SHOULDN'T put diamonds on their watch. Obv. that won't stop them from making the ugliest watches ever. Yuppies have terrible tastes. I entered "top watch brands" in yahoo answers and most of them were like "We know that Rolex is obviously the top of the list, but what is next?" hahaha....
For 100k you could get an actual high quality watch. Not some mediocre Rolex with tons of diamonds on it.

Onetwobit, if you had an antique mechanical Wittenauer, it would be pretty cool, but Wittenauer has long been bought by Bulova, who has been in turn bought by Citizen.
That said, Wittenauer does use swiss quartz (quartz watches are battery operated) instead of Japanese quartz movements like Bulova. But accuracy doesn't differ too much with quartz movements anyways so this point is kind of moot.

this is pretty much the only jeweled watch i ever liked.. i tried it on a few years ago in vegas and it's quite nice in person. a perfect "vegas" watch IMO. other than this rare exception, i think jewels belong on ladies watches..

^ Don't like it (e: the last rolex that was posted). I, too, only like jewels on ladies watches. It's a sad thing that not many women are into watches or can afford expensive ones.
Come to think of it, I'm not much more of a rolex fan than the average poster here, but I really like some of the ladies' ones I've seen. Is it just me? Good thing I don't have a wife or serious girlfriend.

This is the only diamond watch I like. While Hublot doesn't use in house movement yet, they do do a good job of integrating different materials in to their cases to where a watch with diamonds and a rubber strap doesn't seem weird.
As an example of Lange not needing diamonds, the Uhrwerk Phantom. The semitransparent dial allowing you to see and charge the lume on the digits not used is just awesome.

Tried this thing on today, pretty sweet and currently 50% off at my local retailer (9700$ CAD regular).
Thoughts?
