Platinum with shiny stones coming soon

I’ve never considered the 5-digit platinum day date until I saw this one.

18346 coming my way next week will be a nice addition to my president bracelet lineup. I wanted a diamond bezel watch and this one at the prices they’re at now seem too good to pass up

Fun fact. Diamond dial on these platinum 5-digit references house slightly larger diamond indices than the other diamond dials on the gold versions

Will post more pics once I get it next week

Awesome. I am very much in the minority here but I like factory diamonds on a watch. Looking forward to the pics when it arrives.

Thanks all. As one commenter said, diamonds aren't the popular option for some reason, but I really dig them in factory setting on certain pieces

All the condition looks great, and that bracelet is truly eye-popping, wow

I’ve always been intrigued by this model, but I’ve never been quite certain how well the diamond bezel would match my sweat pants …

HEY CLAY ! You have that lovely DD with the meteorite dial. I can't remember is that one platinum or white gold?

I’ve been considering picking up a 18048 or 18348 for that very reason. I’ve handled a few Platinum five digits and they have more heft to them than you would think. Excellent pickup.
