Awesome stuff! Congrats to you on all counts! Always loved that DD as well.

DoxaDavid · 12 May 2024, 11:22 AM

Appreciate the well wishes from you all.

I’ve been wearing the Platty DD all day and after a bit, the heft of it kind of goes unnoticed which surprised me a bit but in a good way. The ice blue dial is amazing to look at and sparkles in the sunlight. Very happy with it!

Watchsprings · 12 May 2024, 12:45 PM

Big congratulations, that is a great accomplishment and a well deserved, beautiful piece!

Super - the new owners may be a bit jealous in the next board meeting, though.

My wife said to me after we closed the deal, “ You need to buy yourself a special watch to commemorate all the hard work you did building the business and securing its legacy. I am so proud of you and it’s well deserved.” I know, she’s a keeper.

So, I did. A Platinum Day Date has been a watch I’ve lusted after for years and love the quadrant ice blue dial. I found a brand new one from a private collector who purchased it in 2022 and never took the tags off.

It’s a stunner!

Congrats on the success of your company. Fantastic watch to mark the milestone. What would be your advice to your younger self?
