Is it permissible to wear a watch with a stainless steel band that has a small amount of white gold on the outside of the watch face and small diamond chips on the inside?

Secondly: There is no harm in wearing a watch that contains diamonds, because the original ruling is permissibility and there is no evidence to prohibit it, provided that it does not contain gold.
