Ditto! I looked at it at the AD. I think it looks even better in person.

Nice pictures, very good comparison. Both are incredibly handsome watches, but when the sun hits the platinum dial, well that's just music for the eyes.

I'd tried a blue one on at my local AD, and its a stunner. Now I've have just gotta plan
A. How to fund it
B. How to break the news to the missus.

X2. I like the contrast of the blue dial better than the plat.

Had the choice of the blue dial or platinum, literally on the same day. The pics of the blue always look good and I do get wistful because the contrast is gorgeous ill admit. But the blue always seems to me like something I will grow out of and so am happy with my platinum dial.

I must admit, the new blue dial is stunning. The coloring and contrast make it very nice to look at and read. However, I tend to like the platinum dial more. It has a unique look and is very versatile.

Greiver - Curious. You have a Plat YM and White SS Daytona. Which do you prefer and wear more? I'm still debating a purchase on one of the other. My purchases are only once every 5 yrs or so, so I need to make the right choice.
