I hope you didn't overpay for that thing. ADs are basically throwing them at people. My AD offered one to me for 85% off

Ken, saw this platinum beauty today and tried on. It is even better in person! And heavier than what I was expecting too. What a great dial and bezel color combo. Impressive!

I knew what I was getting into when I clicked on this thread. That had to be the hideous platinum daytona that ADs are heavily discounting...

Three amazing thing of this watch is that all I don't like of the 4130, polished lugs, wide indexes and asymmetric subdials, look just perfect here. I really can't understand why but I sure love the final look.

That dial color is just unreal. So beautiful. I admire your achievement in being able to own a watch like this. Wear in very good health.

My codolences Kenneth.

That IS a shocker.

The dial is so insipid and the bezel markers look like they have been stamped out.

Keep looking.

Nice watch but not for me as you can't were it in the shower!

Engrave the back and I may be interested

Ken that is in my mind the pinnacle of Rolex and an outstanding piece, totally out of my price range but always inspires me to aim for it
