Incredible incoming

My ten year wedding anniversary is coming up. I was looking at a full rg Daytona, this or a 5396r. I was going to take the watch came in first given our small market and how near impossible it is to get anything. I really wanted platinum as that’s what our rings are made of and blue because that was our wedding colour.

Anyway this came in. The fit is not perfect and I’ll likely need a large link but once perfectly fitted this can really be the perfect one watch. The smooth bezel gives it a sporty look not a flashy one.

a very nice watch but certainly too big for your wrist. why not trying the 36mm OP Tiffany blue? the dial is amazing!

Nah it’s a camera angle thing. It’s on the larger side but it’s fine. Actually wears smaller than the gs white birch.

Congrats on this beauty.
Glacier blue is the color of choice for Platinum DD, IMHO.

Congrats!

Been pondering over this one as well. Love everything including the lume but not sure about the motif dial.

Congratulations. Great looking watch and looks much better with the smooth bezel, makes it less old fashioned looking than with the fluted bezel.
