Nice! I think you'll love it! Turbo model (brown subdial rings) or Turbo S (diamonds)?

Yep, many incomings recently. I guess it is all down to the crazy steel prices narrowing the gab with pm models

All of these are Top Shelf!

Does the platinum feel any different than Rolex Pm?

Not the weight but the warmth or silky or I don’t know, want the subtle things you think about when you “snick “ it on...

i can tell you its was a PITA to find in the UK. Something has happened in the last two or three months. They were not everywhere before, but you could get them.

hardly any Pt DD's in the 40mm size anywhere either, in London at least.

Several AD's said 9-12 months and didn't bother to take my details. You would have thought i was asking for a SS professional with how dismissive many were. Weird

It only feels better in that I feel a bit taller, my hair feels a bit thicker, and my junk feels a bit bigger.

Beautiful pics.
Just wonder how Platona owners here rotate your watches? Do you still retain many other Rolexes or only a few? How could this one replace other Rolexes? I am planning to add a Platona and thinking to let some of my current Rolexes go.

Platinum DD, Platinum Daytona, YG DD. Those are the Rolex watches I regularly wear. I’m close to selling my last Sub as it never gets worn.

Other watches get worn, but they are from different manufacturers.

Get the platinum!

I rotate mine onto my wrist when I wake up and rotate it off when I exercise or go to sleep. I'll see how it goes if/when I get a SS piece.
