That's amazing Tom, it looks like new in the pics. Platinum is obviously very durable

I'd love a platinum but I'm more than happy with my Grail:

Im wearing my DSSD this week, it feels light compared to the platona and the BLRO
The weight of that metal is a difference maker :) |

Just out of the box and still all taped. I will take mine to the RSC in Tokyo next week to adjust the wrist size. The weight and feel are amazing as Tom has been describing!!!

What is the pricing on these? I see on Ebay they are around $64k and a Amazon listing of $62k...I saw on earlier on in the threads folks talking about the price in the high $50k's...
Based on the MSRP of ~$75k and the dealer paying a little over 50% of that ~$40k (not sure if that markup is true on the platinum watches) I assume non AD dealers have room to negotiate on this piece. I thought after my Two Tone YM II I would be done...oh boy

I checked few Rolex blogs and learned that the DSSD and the Platona are 215g & 280g so the Platona weighs 65g more. The BLRO weighs 220g. I also owned DSSD but my wrist is too small so it does not get any wrist time. |

Congratulations on being lucky number thirteen. It is truly the ultimate Grail! Welcome to the club; I can't match Dr. Tom's pictures because of my sedentary life style. Wear it well my friend.

I think I will never own one of these but it's a pleasure to see these platinum Daytona watches at different angles
