Just happened to stroll into my local AD and seen one in the display case. Wanted to see what all this hype was about....

Watch is deff beautiful and has a huge presence about itself and feels awesome on the wrist.

One day...... (I wish)

I have not got a modern Rolex in ages (more interested in vintage) but this one is just magical on the wrist and now it's stuck there.

Some recent picks to bump this thread. There's been lots of chatter recently about the Platona---hoping to see some incomings soon!

Dr. Tom should be on a "Wanted Poster" for all his inspiration and promotion of the Platona. Nobody is safe with this man around. I, myself, was his thirteenth victim. He should be hung...in the Rolex Hall of Infamy.

I guess should at least try one on my AD (if they happen to have one) to feel the super heavyweight of the platinum on my wrist. Other than that my platinum wedding ring will have to do!
