Does the Platona ice blue dial exact same shade as those on DDII??

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Ya took a while thanks!

I also think you have finally found a watch that will steal serious wrist time from that amazing YG YMII.

I think it will at least at the racetrack

Wear it in good health!

It really is unlike anything I've seen yet

Other than vintage SS Daytonas, this is the only Daytona I would own.
Well this will be my tenth Daytona I am planning on keeping this one

Huge congrats and looking forward to seeing your incoming thread.

Thanks and I love the RG just wasn't a keeper for me and when wife left it around well time to go

Thanks so much

That is exactly right

Nice to have overa half a pound on your wrist.
I need some weight training

Both the Daytona and the gold YM II look so much nicer in the live shots. They must be amazing in person.

On another note, remember all the bashing this Daytona took when it was released last year? I'm happy to see it receive all the love it deserves.

Wouldn't it be easier to just go win the 24 Hours of Daytona?

They give them to you then.

Awesome watch.
