If I had those kind of funds for a watch, It would be a Platinum....
It has such a substantial feel on the wrist, and I'm not talking about weight!

It'd depend on whether I had a WG watch or not. If I didn't, then I'd do the WG DDII, but if I already had a WG, then I'd do the platty.

The WG DDII is one of my favorites and on my short list.

both are a great choice, Most folks will think its SS. But since its for you, and not others, then get yourself a Platty, and don't look back. I'd be very impressed with either one, if I saw it out in public. WG will make you smile, plus you can also use the 9k or so that you save and get yourself a another watch within that range. Whatever $$$ you're willing to spend is what will end up winning.
