Noooo! When I said "I went for", I meant in the poll!

I want the LeMans badly but they just aren’t out there. Big dealers have gotten almost none.

Platona hands down

LeMans is almost Tiffany Blue Nautilus status. It’s not something just anyone can buy. The Platona is a really nice and exclusive watch (there are a limited number of people who can afford one!) but not at that same level of ultra exclusive rarity.

If we are talking real world, and for people who aren’t famous celebrities, I don’t feel like the LeMans is worth $600k+. That’s what you need to invest to realistically get one at retail, based on the acquisition stories I’ve confirmed.

That aside, even if both were the same, I’d probably pick the LeMans just because I think it’s more wearable/a bit lighter. I also like the design.

They are not the same caliber of watches. Le mans all day any day

Lemans at retail, Platona at grey. Easy

Le Mans (two words, like the place in France).

[travisb]

Platinum with all ice blue baguette dial.

[1William]

Lemans for me.

[Benzsiam]

Le Mans is No. 1 Rolex, classic look with vintage charm.

[GeorgeK]

So, is it a Daytona (Florida, USA), or a Le Mans (France)??
That name makes no sense...

The Rolex Daytona was originally going to be called Le Mans.

[Kiddodoc]

Platona! While I
Love the look of the LeMans, platinum greater than WG.

[nighthawk77]

Lemans - I prefer the colour scheme. Plat colours are nice, but not my style.

[Wcdhtwn]

It takes a very special watch to be chosen over platinum, DD or Daytona. LeMans is that.

This.

However, since neither are readily obtainable at retail, I ain't payin' the market rate for either.

Although honestly, I wouldn't buy one at MSRP either. That's just crazy money for a watch.

Le Mans no question.

[codecow]

I would take the Lehmans because it’s a good value.

[gamingdoctor]

Platona. Lemans looks like the new 126519 just with a bracelet, additional red text, and $150k extra.

So just get the Platona and a 126519 :p

[illiguy]

Le Mans is pure hype to me. Platona all day.

[Mystro]

I would bet you would already have to have Platona to ever get a chance for a Le Mans so you probably won’t have to choose.

How dare you bring real world logic into this discussion……

[scooba]

I voted Le Mans , Only Because I already have owned a Platinum for ten years

[Guppydriver]

Lots of black chronos available. If we are talking a watch to keep and wear forever...

Platona for me.

[rmlovett1]

Certainly personal choice, and no wrong answer. I’m a bit biased, and ultimately I’d like to have both, but I choose the PT in an either/or situation.
The ice blue PT dial is gorgeous, I happen to love the brown/blue combo, and that dial/bezel is the PT Daytona, no question or mistaking it when you see it.
I realize the dial/bezel/bracelet combo on the LM is also a one and only, but it is very close, or looks pretty similar to other black dial Daytonas.

[wgdaytona]

Probably LeMans, but honestly, it is a coin flip. Both are killer watches.

[domi1]

le mans daytona one of the best looking daytona in history

[egamos]

LeMans all day.

[Whiteflashe90]

Lemans!
