I’d say that the watch is missing the date and has way too many numbers on it.

The numbers are awfully small to bother anyone!

A good mate would definitely talk him out of it.

Then convince him to buy one with the diamond baguette markers.

Women swoon at the sight of the watch. So if he’s married, don’t get the watch.

PS: cost wouldn’t go over well with the wife either.

Take him to a Patek Philippe dealership and see what they can offer at that price-point.

Too heavy, too brown, too expensive, lots of things against this one if you are looking, but doesn't sound like he will take any heed.

Stunning watch in person but yeah, I would imagine wrist will hurt unless you are a big guy. Darn thing nearly smacked my wrist on the glass counter.

You probably need to weigh a minimum of 120 pounds in order to comfortably carry it.

Tell him it’s a watch that everyone will confuse with stainless steel so what’s the point! Don’t show him this either...

Ok y'all are just plain evil

I would like to thank Steve, Steve, Kevin, Chad, Trace, Alex, Alex, Mike, Tom, and the rest of you for torturing me with pics, texts, and a host of other propaganda in an effort to get a platona on my wrist. Just what I need

Hopefully someday I can join the crew

Carry on gents!
