Thanks all!

I promised myself to only have one full PM Rolex. So it was not in the cards to keep the Daytona.

Congrats! It's a beautiful watch.


However, it makes me wonder why so many folks love the smooth bezel on the DD but look down on the smooth bezel on the DJ? I think they both look great but have noticed the bias in lots of threads.

Thank you! There's really not a choice with the bezel in platinum. That being said, I would of picked this one as I have a DJ 41 with a fluted bezel. BTW, the smooth DJ bezel looks great to me as well.

I al3ays preferred the diagonal motif with sticks and planning on it one day but the deconstructed romans are really growing on me. Gorgeous watch!

Thank you! Here are some photos where one can appreciate the hands better in different lighting situations. They are just as blue as the markers. Although sometimes appear darker which is still a plus for me for better contrast in reading the time.
