The look, color and WEIGHT AMAZING!!

Mikes previous champion...

the new CHAMPION

WATCH IS TREMENDOUS

and congrats to all who own one or have even seen one.

AGDExchange · 2 March 2014, 03:47 AM

how much is it?

jjnd08 · 2 March 2014, 03:48 AM

Awesome! Post pics when you get it!

travisb · 2 March 2014, 03:49 AM

Yes sir!!

It is truly stunning when you get to handle this piece.
Huge congrats in advance on the incoming!

Brucie D · 2 March 2014, 03:49 AM

Here in Canada it is about $75,000 plus tax. I also had the pleasure of seeing and trying one on at the AD here.

Huge congrats Tom. Looking fwd to your heavyweight incoming.

HL65 · 2 March 2014, 04:01 AM

The time has come and here is to hoping you get one soon my friend! The look and feel is second to none for me. The glacier blue and chestnut brown set this watch apart! So look forward to the incoming thread and here is mine to help with some enabling.

steveclocks · 2 March 2014, 04:04 AM

Go for it Tom, you know that daytona is waiting for you there ! And by the way it does look good on your wrist man

Cc1966 · 2 March 2014, 04:05 AM

Wow...this thread is above my pay grade (for a single piece)!

jenniferjanef · 2 March 2014, 04:06 AM

Tom... Congrats on your new addition!!!

Btw i think Mike's DDII weight is for his wrist size while the Platona is a full bracelet. Can't wait to see you new arrival wrist shots! Well done!!

Jen

kilyung · 2 March 2014, 04:30 AM

Damn it, Tom! That's a heck of a watch. Congrats buddy, I'm thrilled for you. I guess it's my turn next.

Jen is correct. My picture was sized for my wrist. The difference with all links is only 2g (DD2 is 280g). Still the Daytona is the new heavyweight champ.

dysondiver · 2 March 2014, 04:35 AM

if some one had posted a couple of years ago , they were going for a pale blue dial , and a brown bezel ,,, how we would have laughed ,,,
but its a stunning combo in real life ,,, keep them coming.

Invictus Maneo · 2 March 2014, 04:35 AM

What an amazing watch! Maybe someday.........😙. Congratulations to all who either own one or are on the process of acquiring one ! I keep looking for Mike's "incoming " thread!😜

Amazing watch. I too was blown away when I first handheld it.

Congrats. Can't wait for your incoming.

It'll be a great compliment to your collection.

DJ TT 2002 · 2 March 2014, 04:51 AM

Congratulations!!!

CrownMe · 2 March 2014, 04:55 AM

Love the Plat daytona. didnt like the brown at first but it has def grew on me. Looks great with that ice blue dial. This watch is expensive but looks the part. I dont like the smurf because it just seems plain. Looks like a blue ss sub. polished center links on a sub is DEF not for me.

tkerrmd · 2 March 2014, 05:11 AM

well I have had NINE previous Daytonas. I love the Daytona and race there alot and REALLY want to keep and bond with one.

I just couldnt get over it feeling somewhat small

there is no feeling like that with this watch

the wrist presence even makes the YMII pale in comparison

it is truely amazing!!

thanks for all the nice comments!!

mailman · 2 March 2014, 05:15 AM

Very happy for you Tom

Next month can't get here soon enough

superdog · 2 March 2014, 05:16 AM

So you sold the YG version? Loved that one.

HogwldFLTR · 2 March 2014, 05:23 AM

Just to keep things in perspective that is approximately 10 ounces. That's a hefty watch. Congratulations on the new acquisition.

CDNWatchNut · 2 March 2014, 05:30 AM

I have to acknowledge not being as fond of the Daytona as many, however...the platinum Daytona is drop dead gorgeous! Congratulations to all who have one in their collection!

yes to be honest to make this happen without too much pain my YG sub and RG Daytona are the outgoing

Our WG sub is my wifes daily wearer, she doesnt wear the RG Daytona that much anymore and has let me "scarifice" it for the big brother Platona

I have to be honest this may be the be all and end all for me!! It just for ME has everything I ever wanted in a watch if that is possible

thanks for all the nice comments

Wesley Crusher · 2 March 2014, 06:20 AM

Wow! I've seen this watch in person. It's a stunner! Congrats.
