Very sweet; I'm curious how you managed it? I remember the first time I saw the diamond dial was a couple of years ago. I saw it in person and was wowed!! Looks great!!! Do you find it more legible?

Hoping to pick mine up on Monday.
Been putting it off for a while now. Now that I’ve sold almost all of my WG & YG pieces there’s no better time.

PP7300 for the wife & Platona for myself.

Probably going to be my last Rolex for a while. All depends on what Basel 2019 brings. There simply isn’t anything else in the current Rolex line up I really want.

Oh my lord....but with baguettes it's a little more extra perfect.
This is what a grail really looks like. I can't look away, I cannot imagine what it's like to look down and see that.
Enjoy it in health.

$75K without baguettes is what my BOS said. Since it was a trade they listed it at full value. I figure with the value of what I traded in I actually got about 20% lower price.
