That´s true, but for a non professional it´s almost impossible to tell if the aftermarkert diamonds are real. My mother works in the watch industry and she tells me there are not even fake watches out there where you can´t tell that they are fake, unless opened. But even fake diamonds that look so good, even a professional has a hard time telling if they are real.
So with aftermarket set diamonds I would be really really careful. You could pay a lot of money for nothing...and also the whole manufacturer warranty expires. (If t´s a rather new one that still should have warranty.)
But if you buy a watch with original papers, you don´t have to worry about aftermarket parts. At least the visual ones. Because material, movement, color of dial, diamond bezel, markers etc. or not are mentioned in the papers. So I would always recommend buying a luxury watch with papers - especially if it´s a Rolex or a Cartier.
