i dunno whether or not i would call the diamonds sparkly...while they have some sparkle, def nowhere near close to blingy. the diamonds really are quite small, but do add that certain something to the watch when compared to one without...guess it would be a matter of personal opinion in person!
_- I agree - subtle, but nice! I had a largish size square SS chrono with diamonds - it was very nice! I did after a few years sell it though, It became hard for me to read the dial (my age and older eyes)
