Rolex 118206 Platinum Day Date

My wife joined the Platinum club with a 36mm Platinum Day-Date with a Platinum Myriad diamond dial. She absolutely LOVES it. I honestly cannot believe how heavy it is compared to some of my other watches. Something special about a Platinum watch. Happy 5 year anniversary my love

As you can see, it was a little cold outside taking a couple snaps.
