A good jeweller won't even get his hands anywhere near a fake watch with CZs on it. ;)

i think he means "good" as in not naughty ....

CZ are brighter than Diamonds but thats not the point, that is like being yellower than Gold. The reason for that is then have a greater dispersion of white light , despite having a lower refractive index. The whole point is to look like a diamond (which they don't ) rather than some tinsel on a christmas tree (which they do) A CZ is 8.5 on th Mohs scale which is nearly as hard as sapphire, so they should last. Will never look anything like a diamond though.
I don't get all this middle east and Soviet stuff. A CZ is man made and doesn't care which country it is made in, it will be the same where ever you make it.

Plutonium is man made too , and Oak Ridge uses only Soviet Yellowcake .....

Yeah, doesn't change it though. Any non naughty jeweller will never touch something like that like I said.

^^ This. CZ will sparkle like a madman, and anybody who really knows diamonds will know it's too much/too different in character. Nobody will accuse them of being dull, just not the same.

but again, this is just like the random nitpick details on these watches - 99% of people will just be like "WOW BLINGY" , so YMMV.

No worries bro, but calling these reps complete crap is also a bit to harsh.

At least one good comment, reading Your comments are makes me feel sad. I would never buy a cheap stone to my wife ... bo bo be bo . I understand whole statement about diamonds etc. but cmon there reps arent trash. Ofc u can not compare Ford to Lamborghini cuz of different prices but ffs they r still good and i thinkg same thing is with eco diamonds. I bugh my wife engagement ring with lab created diamond and You know what ? She dont care if it cost 1 000 000 $ all she care then was THAT RING that magic with propose not fcking stone, so pls guys hide those snobistic comemnts in ur expensive treasures and at least dont talk. Becouse if ur wifes do not appriciate even smallest thing then sorry but U just got mined by Gold Digger

DJF offered real diamond on their DJ 36 if i'm not mistaken

I want to buy DJ 36 with real diamonds

DJF does not offer, I found out about it, some dealers can install real diamonds

for example chazingtime and possibly intime, but he hasn’t answered me yet




What would that price be then?
DATEJUST 36MM 116234 V2 DJF SUPER 1:1 BEST EDITION DIAMOND SILVER JUBILEE DIAL, ON SS JUBILEE BRACELET, SA3135 -- 508 USD

Option : With Real Diamond Markers On Dial : 658 USD

Other TD do not offer this option

I asked everyone on the TD list

My advice is don't buy diamonds from a fake watch vendor in China. If you must have real diamonds on a fake watch, there are plenty of legitimate places to buy genuine diamond bezels, dials, bracelets, etc.
