Looks like I was a bit late with that last posting there!
Love to see pics of your Platona.

I feel like the last holdout on the 116506!

Go for it! I took the "Platona" plunge a few days ago, and I could not be happier with its look and feel. Took me only a couple of days to get used to the weight. Honestly, there is nothing that compares to the brilliance of a platinum watch on bracelet.

If ever i had the money to get a watch in this price range it would be the one and only platona.

Two watches in the end.


If you prefer precious metal, Platona is one of the best choice, but new 116500 is more valueable with not so much different feeling.

for Nautilus 5990 is SS , for me its quite expensive but if you prefer chronograph, New 2016 Vacheron Constantine is one of very interesting choice.
