How do the diamonds look? Do they sparkle or look dull?

TIA!

I believe Swiss legend uses single cut diamonds on their watches, so they're not going to sparkle nearly as much as brands that use full cut stones.

My Swiss Legend just has them on the face. Sort of dullish looking really, but I didn't want anything flashy (for once). I've seen IRL some of the ones w/ stones around the face and they seemed to sparkle quite nicely. I wouldn't buy one sight unseen though.

Swiss Legend is a brand I am very familiar with. Almost every watch they creat uses single cut, I clarity stones. Not a brand to pursue if you desire sparkly, vivid diamonds.

For that, you would be better off going with Renato who uses G/VS full cut stones, and has watches in the same price range.

Good Luck.

Yeah, the diamonds are dull due to them being single cut and of lower clarify. I'm kinda regretted getting the karamica with the diamond bezel. If I've heard of Renato earlier, I'd have gone for them instead.
