First Post... Looking for Gem Setter/ Other Options

Greetings, I know this is disgusting to most true watch enthusiasts, but I am looking to try something different.

I have worn the same reps for years, and want something a little flashier. I am not looking a full "bussdown" or "iced out" watch, rather something with some nice stones in the bezel and maybe elsewhere.

From my research over the last few days I have come to the conclusion that most reps with "diamonds" are actually CZ, so I am reaching out with two seperate questions.

1) Does anyone know of any factories that use moissanite or CVD diamonds?
2) Are there any jewelers/ watchmakers on the forum that would be able to set stones if I was able to source them and the watch?

Thanks in advance, and please be gentle.

There are a couple of members here that list bezels with moissanite and/or lab diamonds. Look through the sales threads.

I tried searching the exact terms over the last few hours and came up empty handed on sources for settings. Commented on those posts and hopefully the sellers on the BST page can point me in the right direction.

You can also check on Instagram. Lots of jewelers that can do it or sell ones that are ready made. I'm not a fan of full buss down watches , but there are some models that I would wear with a tastefully done bezel.

Exactly my sentiments. My ideal plan is to find a jeweler that can set baguette stones in a bezel, and potentially even the dial. I was lucky enough to source some relatively cheap lab diamonds that have high clarity and color.
