It is my favorite Rolex mistake yet!

Absolutely stunning. Wear in good health!

got to try this on yesterday, absolutely lived up to the hype
really beautiful, even walked it to the door Ken so i could catch it in the sunlight

i am still stunned by the weight of this piece, but what an excellent fit & feel

my blackberry camera is complete and utter shite but want to share the wrist shot anyway, this was in the Wempe/Rolex store.

just to be clear: i did not purchase this watch, only tried it on:)

That race footage is SO cool! Thanks for sharing it with us. It is always cool to see people wearing and enjoying their watches for their intended purpose:) The Platona is going to be the crowning jewel of your stellar collection.

thanks for watching, best part is after the pace car leaves and the race start.

I worked my way up to third in class but my steering rack broke and had to limp it in, resulted in an 8th national standing:bang head:


still tons of fun!!
