I had seen the non baguette version in person (GORGEOUS as well)!! So so happy with it. Now what to sell to lighten the blow......
I go back and forth about which one I would prefer. The baguettes are super subtle and it doesn't look like a "diamond watch" unless you're right on top of it. Very beautiful! Congrats!

100% agreed as they are very subtle. Ive never been a diamond watch guy but it really just blends right into the dial. There is no wrong answer bw the 2

Nice. I can’t remember how long ago (couple years) I was at an Atlanta dealer and a guy passed on one. Want to say it was $60k and he thought it was in the $40k neighborhood. Was WAY out of my range at the time but probably could’ve snagged it. Was on my wrist for a hot minute. Ha! Anyhow, congrats to you!

Huge congratulations! I'm not a great chronograph fan; not a big Daytona fan either. Heck I'm not even fond of diamonds on a watch but that one, Sir, I'd love to own and wear. It's even got lumed hands, what else could anyone ask for? Ah, yes, a date. But who cares what date it is, looking at that dial?
Right up there with the platinum Day Date, for me. And arguably the best PM Rolex.
Enjoy it in great health
