Rolex Datejust poll: Roman Numerals vs Diamonds

[tallymia]

Hi All,

I have finally decided to invest in a good watch and narrowed it down to Datejust 36mm in two-tone rose gold.
But I can't seem to settle on Roman numerals vs Diamonds!

I love both, so the dilemma is do I go for "dressy" diamond option or "everyday" Roman?

The difference in price is not significant, so that's not the issue. It's more so that I will be wearing this watch for next 50 years, so it better be perfect [emoji23]

Oh, and I'm 30 yrs old, and wear both cheap costume jewelry and expensive diamonds. Often together...

If anyone has modeling pictures, I will love you forever!
I tried them on, but it's hard to be subjective...

Roman numerals. I personally don't like diamonds on my watches.

Diamonds. They are small so it is not flashy at all.

I prefer the clean look of the romans!

Diamonds. Roman numerals are nice also, but I'd regret not getting the diamonds later. Especially on this watch. And the diamonds are subtle and makes the watch look even more elegant.

I love Romans especially on a white dial...

I wanted to add that you should check out the older watches with diamonds vs. older watches with romans. I'm not sure why, but the diamonds must get dusty and thus appear duller over time. I always hate the diamonds on a much-loved watch but they do look great in the beginning. You could get it cleaned annually, but at several hundred bucks a pop for servicing/cleaning, I'd prefer the romans to keep it looking fresh.

Romans's don't like the look of diamonds.
