Adding diamonds to a watch is considered a grey area in the horological world, bursting watch enthusiast’s bubbles and decreasing a model’s value retention. These are points we recently visited in an article where we spoke about the pros and cons of customisation.
However, we are completely for the idea of diamond-set watches with customisation being at the heart of Time 4 Diamonds, we are home to some of the finest custom diamond-set Rolex watches. Our diamonds are always natural and hand-picked, graded no lower than VS1 clarity and G-H colour and expertly finished offering different types of cut.
Before showcasing our five best custom diamond-set Rolex watches in 2025, it is important to note that every customisation is produced using an authentic and certified Rolex model featuring their beautiful movements and materials. So, let’s unveil five of our best custom diamond-set watches.
Custom Diamond-Set GMT-Master II
The GMT-Master II has a rich reputation being one of the most popular and iconic models to have ever been released from Rolex. For custom Rolex watches, we receive many requests involving the GMT-master II for someone’s own bespoke additions to the watch.
Using an authentic GMT-Master II reference 116710LN powered by the Calibre 3186, our masterful diamond setters have incorporated baguette-cut, natural white diamonds into the Oyster bracelet and stainless steel case allowing the deep black dial and bezel to pop whilst the case and bracelet glistens.

- ▪Deep black glossy dial with white gold dot applied hour
- ▪Cerachrom bezel
- ▪Automatic Movement Calibre 3186
In order to retain the GMT-Master II’s function, we did not set diamonds into the bidirectional bezel or glossy black dial in order to fulfill the model’s purpose in displaying two timezones. Moreover, we understand that the GMT-Master II’s dual time function is the most popular and used travel complication. Therefore, you are still able to use the GMT complication whilst wearing the model with beautiful sparkling diamonds.
Custom Diamond-Set Daytona
Like the GMT-Master II, the Daytona is one of Rolex’s most prominent timepieces to have been released by the Crown and is also highly requested from customers regarding custom kits and specifications.
For this custom diamond-set Daytona, we took a certified 18CT white gold model reference 116509 and completely iced out the watch, setting natural white diamonds into the bezel, case and bracelet, even implementing a pavé diamond dial with ice blue sub-dials.

- ▪Customised fitting VS1 diamonds on the case and bracelet
- ▪Custom diamond-paved dial with blue sub-dials
- ▪Automatic Movement Calibre 4130
This custom diamond-set Daytona has been meticulously crafted by our expert artisans as the diamonds follow the honeycomb technique which requires high levels of skill and intricacy. The combination of ice blue and sparkling white diamonds works perfectly to produce a stunning custom piece, fully powered by the Calibre 4130.
Custom Diamond-Set Datejust 41
Another iced-out masterpiece is our custom diamond-set Datejust 41. The Datejust 41 is a fantastic Rolex watch to utilise for customisation due to its simple and versatile aesthetic, paving the way for various opportunities in customising your Datejust like DLC coatings, “Rainbow” bezels and, of course, diamond-settings.

Our in-house team of diamond-setters took an authentic reference 126300 powered by the Calibre 3235 and fitted hand-picked natural white diamonds into the case, bezel and bracelet, also featuring a custom pavé diamond dial which is truly mesmerising. With this custom pavé diamond dial, we have removed the Rolex and Datejust names along with other tags and hour makers, isolating the coronet.
Custom Diamond-Set Sky-Dweller
In 2012, Rolex launched their most complicated model the Sky-Dweller featuring, both, the annual calendar and dual time function. Despite being known as Rolex’s most complex timepiece, it is not that popular amongst enthusiasts and fanatics with some models falling below retail value on the secondary market, lacking investment potential.
Therefore, the Sky-Dweller is extremely attractive for customisation as the fears of being judged by enthusiasts are eliminated and value retention is immediately lost when purchasing the plain version from the Rolex AD (Authorised Dealership.)

A stunning example of a custom Sky-Dweller is our diamond-set model reference 326935 in Everose gold featuring a factory white dial. There are stunning natural baguette-cut white diamonds set into the rose gold case and bracelet to give this model some flash and spark.
Custom Diamond-Set Day-Date 40
Finally, we end this listicle on our custom Day-Date 40 in 18CT Everose gold with the chocolate brown dial. Using a verified model reference 228235, we applied natural, round brilliant cut white diamonds to the Everose gold case and bracelet with our own customised baguette-cut diamond-set 18CT rose gold bezel.

For all custom gold watches, we ensure that our customised bezels are all manufactured using 18CT gold, identical to the purity of gold Rolex uses. This is intended so that our custom watch’s parts are of high quality and durability, giving you the close taste to the factory “TBR” bezel. Rose gold watches with a brown dial is a beautiful combination and here, the piece is enhanced through the use of diamonds.
