I know that I want the 33mm BB in steel/rose gold with diamond dial. I cannot decide whether to get the plain gold bezel or the diamond bezel. I’ve only tried on the plain (see pics) and I love it.

Would love to see real life pics of the diamond bezel to help me decide! Would also love opinions.

Personally, i think gold + diamond markers + diamond bezel are quite flashy all in the same watch. I like the look of 1 or 2 out of 3. The BB already has a lot going on in the design with the blue orb, high polish, and guilloche face so I like this plain one you have photos of! It makes it easier for your eyes to appreciate the diamond markers too.

Here’s my 36mm ballon bleu with Diamond bezel. I love the Roman numerals so I was choosing between this and the plain bezel full rose gold 36mm with a leather strap.

Good luck with your choice, can’t wait to see which you decide to pick!

Thanks all! I decided to get the plain bezel. I love the Roman numerals but didn’t love it on the BB, so I also purchased the steel small panthere . Will post pics when I receive them!
