New on old and old on new?!
My new Platona on my arm and my old TT sub on my sons arm.

It was my first Rolex 17 years ago!! Hard to believe!

Had it totally serviced and gave it to my son on his 21st birthday when he graduated college, immediately turned him into a WIS

The new face has diamond markers and no brown subdials, just another version



And I agree, like the brown subs better!
