Today we will be sending you the 2023 edition of mechanical watches: "Top 5 recommended diamond index models."
The "dial" can be said to be the face of a watch. The "indexes" placed on it not only serve as a scale for reading the time, but are also an important factor in determining the expression of the watch, and are one of the major factors that determine whether or not to purchase it. Therefore, starting with this column, I would like to introduce models equipped with "diamond indexes", "Arabic numeral indexes", "Roman indexes", and "bar indexes" over a total of four articles.
In this first instalment, we would like to introduce five carefully selected models that feature diamond indexes, so please enjoy until the end.
*This price is based on our store's selling prices as of June 2023.

The last model we would like to introduce is the Ref. 116506A, which was released in 2013 as a commemorative model for the 50th anniversary of the birth of the Daytona.
The most distinctive feature of this model is the chestnut-colored Cerachrom bezel and ice blue dial, which are only available in the platinum model, and it is a sports model that is at the top of the regular models. In 2023, the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Daytona, a model change was made, and the "Ref. 116506A" was also discontinued. The new Daytona "Ref. 126506A" has a chestnut-colored subdial, so this model with an ice blue subdial is one to look forward to in the future.

summary
What did you think.
Models with diamonds on the dial were previously avoided by many people as their glittering appearance made them difficult to use in business situations, but perhaps due to the increase in remote work, it seems that more people are now willing to purchase them without any hesitation.
This time we started with Rolex, which has a large and attractive lineup, but in recent years, it seems that each brand has been focusing on gem-set models, so many people may be having trouble deciding which model to choose. Our store has knowledgeable staff on-site who will give you accurate advice based on design, function, budget, etc., so please feel free to contact us for any inquiries.
Once again, we hope this article will help you find your favorite one.
see you!
