A dream watch for me is the 18238 in the configuration below. Love the brushed lug tops.

Not my photo:



All fantastic examples. The 36mm is perfectly proportioned, and it really suits all wrists.

That looks great on your wrist....Going by just wrist circumference can sometimes be a little misleading. Some wrists can be perfectly round and others on the flatter side. I tried on this 36mm and thought it looked too small on my 7.5" wrist.

Beautiful, but requires a smaller wrist to be worn well, IMHO.

I thought the flutted bezel was a new feature on the Day Date PT.

Have they always had it on the 36PT?

You're correct, but that does look like the new DD PT.

Fluted bezel is a new feature on both sizes pt DD. The one in the image is a 128236-0009 if I'm not mistaken (stunning!)

Thanks! Haven’t take it off yet. It’s very comfortable for a full platinum watch and is a real nice wearing experience.

The 40mm was beast mode. Sportier and wore bigger by quite a large margin.

Do you find the new reference with the fluted and diamonds as wearable as the domed 118206? I absolutely love the casual and stealthy look of the wave dial 206!

That pic is a few years old. I bought the wave dial NOS during Covid. Unfortunately, it was not NOS, but refinished. So I no longer have it - the dealer accepted it back.

I loved that watch, and the dial. It’s very cool, different, and fun. Definitely not as serious as many of the other dial options, and that’s a good thing.

7+ inch wrist: Post your DayDate 36mm pics

EDIT: just re-read the title. Thought you meant DJ

7.75” wrist. Here’s a pic at the AD. I ended up not taking it.
