This arrived yesterday. The Platona is out.

Supple bracelet. Ice blue. Weighty.

Very happy with this one.

I’m sure it’s hard letting go of a Platona but that DD must have made it much easier. Wow, such a beautiful watch. Congrats!

Thanks.

It wasn't as hard as I expected, especially once the new one is on the wrist. They are different animals, and the Platona is a fantastic watch, but the DD40 was calling my name.
