Some people like "Paul Newman's", I prefer "Tom Kerr's"

This has been on my radar for a long time, and today the stars aligned and everything came together.

I've felt giddy as a school girl the past few hours and can't settle down. I was excited before picking it up, but I'm more jacked right now!

Soon as I slipped this sucker on my wrist it was over. The dial radiates in different tones every second and the depth is unreal. I feel humbled and blessed to be able to obtain something this beautiful. Thank you guys, more pics coming soon!

So are we calling the platona the "Dr Tom" now? Coincidentally I tried on a "Dr Tom" today and although I'm not a fan of the colors I loved the feel and weight of it. Absolutely stunning piece.

Enjoy it.

But don't knock the vintage Newmans.

Those are true classics.

It looks brown in pics, but in real life it seems more black and ice blue.
