They should give you a coke with your name on it, Dr. Tom. :) You can totally rock that DD, just sayin'. The Romans are sharp. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the incoming!

Did you get any free sweets ???????

travisb · 20 August 2015, 08:11 PM

Really looks fantastic! Crazy how the DDII never did much for me but the DD40 has me hooked.

VICI · 20 August 2015, 08:21 PM

Stunning 🍻🍻

Cru Jones · 20 August 2015, 08:33 PM

looks so nice!

thanks for the pix, tom.

theflywrist · 20 August 2015, 08:40 PM

Beautiful! And it wears very handsome on your wrists!
Honestly it makes your collection complete IMO.
It is also precious metal, just like most your others. I think all your others are PM, except for the recent SS Daytona.
Also, I think it is the quietest watch you will own.
Your watches are pretty stealthy being WG or Platinum, but this one is even more understated.

I await the incoming thread! :D

brandrea · 20 August 2015, 08:45 PM

Tom, I think you're at the stage where your collection needs a DD40

RolexAuthority · 20 August 2015, 08:47 PM

Did you also try on the 228206 40mm platinum but with the criss cross dial I think that is even more stunning than this one and a perfect addition to your collection.

nick c · 20 August 2015, 08:50 PM

Looking good and perfect fit on you Tom

AK797 · 20 August 2015, 09:01 PM

Hey Tom, spent a lot of time at a few ADs myself yesterday. Tried on the DD40 and yeah I thought it was quite a bit smaller than my DDII, felt more like a 39mm so the three sizes are very distinct. New RNs were not doing it for me.

watchwatcher · 20 August 2015, 09:12 PM

Well...what can I say? Nothing short of spectacular, my friend. I think the DD looks great on you! Sure, you're more of a sports watch guy (as am I), but that wouldn't be too bad to wear out for a special evening with the wife...

Keep us posted if there are any sudden incomings.

THC · 20 August 2015, 09:34 PM

I just want the Rolex gloves in the pics...

. hey Doc, if you pull the trigger, get the gloves...

Racerdj · 20 August 2015, 09:38 PM

Stunning photo's! Looks like you had a great time! Maybe an incoming?

mjclark32 · 20 August 2015, 09:52 PM

So nice. Thanks for sharing!

returntorolex · 20 August 2015, 10:19 PM

I really like that quadrant dial. As others have noted, sports watches seem to be your preferred models.

However, nothing compares to that President bracelet IMO!!

west coast of Florida

thanks, but not sure it really is me

really the first thing I noticed is how it looked smaller than the Platona?

thanks everyone for all the great comments!!

Psmith · 20 August 2015, 10:59 PM

Pics of said Coke?

(or it didn't happen

)

jjnd08 · 20 August 2015, 11:34 PM

Great shots! Your collection needs one of these! I'd personally go YG or RG with a fluted bezel to be completely different than anything you own.

And with as much as you've spent at the AD, they should be okay with you "wasting" their time!

mfer · 21 August 2015, 12:16 AM

Very cool. I can't wait to see the new pieces. AD in town has them tonight!!!!!

DeeTee · 21 August 2015, 12:24 AM

There is no reason why you should not have a DD2 or DD40 in your stable. You pushed me to get a Smurf, now it's your turn to get the DD!

On a side note, you can't tell me you weren't at least a little giddy when popping open the clasp on the presidential bracelet. It's defenitly way more comfortable than the oyster band IMO.

nyc2la · 21 August 2015, 12:46 AM

Great pics, Tom, thanks for sharing.

Based on your comments, it sounds like a Diamond Dial Platona for your Better Half is the right move at this point --- and then you can swap Platonas with her! Win-Win!

JRT · 21 August 2015, 01:00 AM

Platinum DD40 is really stunning. You can buy it for your wife, and I believe it can match with your Platona very well.

Headshrinker · 21 August 2015, 01:08 AM

Looking fantastic, my friend!

xchxin · 21 August 2015, 01:32 AM

My AD always offers me water. I guess I should ask for a coke next time. I want a diet coke in the new metal cans.

AS1 · 21 August 2015, 02:01 AM

Great photos. I am really struck by how small the DD looks in comparison to the Platona!

yeah and really I picked them both up at the same time and the Platona seems to me significantly heavier and wears larger

Gharddog03 · 21 August 2015, 04:08 AM

Awesome!!

I'll take the Pepsi ceramic when you get tired of it.

Rolex addict · 21 August 2015, 04:14 AM

Do it!!!! It's a sharp watch. Also, I hope you shave those arms before Six Gap. That will be 2 lbs less to carry up the mountains!!!

mzmonzon · 21 August 2015, 04:16 AM

Love the baguette dial platona!! Want to get one!!
