New Platona

Well, it didn't take very long for this piece to arrive after ordering from my AD! I can certainly tell anyone that if their 18kt Rolex feels heavy, try this thing. It makes a YG SubC feel like it's SS! I appreciate all of your input. Now I just need to decide what to trade in. Initially, I was going to add my YG GMTIIC green dial, but I'm starting to reconsider this portion of the deal.

Very nice! I agree, I tried one on an AD, and the weight was substantial. Where it well... I am a fan of the YG GMTIIC with the green dial, so it would be a tough call for me. Nevertheless, not a bad problem to have.

Very unlikely I will ever have one, but did get to try it on at an AD. It is a hefty one!

Congratulations--stunning watch!
