Wow - hope it satisfies you for awhile. My finances would probably make that my last watch. Beautiful.

Just got my first Platinum diamond dial watch yesterday. 116506A

And wow there’s nothing like Platinum and baguette dials!!! I thought my Chocolate 935 was heavy but the 506 is on another level even though it’s only like 40 grams or so. Feels oh so good

Congrats.

Can I ask how long you waited and if you had a spend history?

Unbelievably beautiful watch. Love the weight

I started with a lady’s date just 31 salmon dial in 2019
Then a 126660 James Cameron in 2020. In 2021 I was purchased a 228238 yg day date with silver dial and Roman numerals. 2022 I purchased date just 36 on jubilee with silver dial.

I dropped a hint to my AD that I wanted a platinum day date with fluted bezel when it was released in 2022. 2023 they called me for a 228236.

Well done!...I wish I would be given the opportunity to build a Rolex per year momentum like you. I certainly have the desire and the resources...if only an AD would give me a chance!
