Changing the stones on the watch with real diamond

[turbo_s2k]

I am planning to buy this watch

I have a friend who sells diamonds. He said if the stones on this watch are like diamonds meaning if the bottom of the zirconia stones are cone shaped, he said he can change them with real diamonds.

Anyone have any ideas?

if you can afford that many diamonds, why are you getting a rep watch?

he is probably getting low quality diamonds from a friend who buys them wholesale. If this is the case, it is not as expensive as you may think.

I bought this watch in a midsize for my mom (gold with bling bezel). I have not removed any of the CZ's, but it's two rows of approximately (to my eye) .25 point round brilliant cz's that are prong set, they have the cutlets (points on the bottom). Honestly, I don't think it's worth changing out the stones on a rep watch. The CZ's are very convincing, particularly in this size. Putting the cost of the stones aside, the labor to remove and set these stones is probably not worth the trouble.

By "convincing", you meant the faux diamonds DO look like real diamonds ?
