Congrats Jason! I thought you were getting the Daytona with meteorite dial but this is even more spectacular. Hard work pays off.

I love that reference of the Platona -- the non-brown subdial rings is my favorite. AWESOME!!!!

I think the Patek 5170P is similarly cool. Under the radar tasteful baguette diamonds, blue dial, platinum chrono. But this is probably more everyday wearable. I wear mine (the plain version, lol) every day and it holds up great. Doesn’t look new, but isn’t at all beat up. Enjoy that bad boy!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I knew everyone here would understand
Dr. Tom, you know you have been a huge influence on me loving the Platinum Daytona. Thank you for your energy and enthusiasm on the forum. It is infectious. Momma just got home and she let me take a couples pic with her Platinum DD. Stickers are off!!!
