Question for PLATONA owners, are the lugs fixed like on the white gold ref or can the bracelet be easily removed so a leather strap can be used. I currently wear my stainless Daytonas on leather and it’s my preferred option, so it would potentially be a deal breaker for the platona I have just been offered in a trade

Thanks my friend! That’s exactly why I got this brand new when I could as the new dial doesn’t come close. This one makes the watch!!

The bracelet can be removed. A prior owner here on TRF put his on leather for a short time.

Thanks for replying, appreciated and that’s great to know, will have a look to see if I can find a picture on the forum of what it looks like. I think a brown strap that matches the bezel could look beautiful.

There’s a couple pics on this thread a few pages back of it on a rubber strap, this should give you some idea for reference. Post #2142

I really like how they refined the shape of the baguettes in the new model.

It's beautiful. I can get on with the lugs just fine but the ring just might be too Speedmaster / vintage vibe for me.

No judgement! I’ve been waiting a long time and was just curious if new “old” ones were still rolling out or not. Enjoy! It looks amazing!

All good! I’d assume the old ones are out in the wild at this point, as the new ones are starting to show up. I pulled the trigger via grey as wanted this over the new one. Good luck!
