Just picked up a BNIB DD 36 Platinum fluted bezel with baguettes this week. It is very nice… not nearly the heft of the Platinum smooth bezel DD 40’s that I have. The size (36mm) with a fluted bezel/baguettes is appropriate to the diminutive size of the DD 36mm case. It will be much used and much appreciated going forward.
That said, I do think that a Platinum DD 40 with a fluted bezel/baguettes would indeed (at least in my opinion) be over the top…. relative to the potential “bling” factor. Attached are comparative pictures. Comments are most welcome. |

The fluted 36 is incredible and a perfect size, even in platinum the smooth bezel is not for me.
It always seemed just right, that was until the fluted was released! |

OP, I agree with your comments. You have an impressive collection of platinum watches. Which is your favorite?

Personally, the 36mm would be my choice.

I love that you have 5 platinums…it is hard once you wear it to wear anything else but you have taken it to another level!

Fluted 36 for me. The smaller a watch is the more comfortable it is and as a bonus it’s less likely you’ll put a massive ding on it :-)

I have to admit I want that Daytona and 40 roman and fluted 36.
All of your watches are total keepers…
