Oh boy, Rolex PM really is something else. Spent a great half hour checking out the new DDs at my favorite AD with whom I have a great relationship. Of course the Platona made an appearance. Tom, let me just say... I understand now! I totally understand!

Took some photos to share with my TRF brethren. Hope you enjoy.

First off the new everose DD 40. I love the tone of the everose gold. I wish they had a dial with roman numerals. But, having never tried an everose gold Rolex piece on before, I was very impressed with how it looked in the flesh:

Next up, the platinum DD 40. Wow, stunning heft! Makes even my BLRO seem light! Not really my style overall but was a pleasure to try on:

And then... the king of modern Daytonas! Wow. Insane. Just insane. The heft for one thing, but also the dial. Just so beautiful. Dr. Tom how do you choose between this and the BLRO in the morning!!

Duo shot to close off...

Awesome pics! pop into my AD tomorrow to check if they have some!

trackntrail · 25 July 2015, 08:42 AM

Damn, love that platona

AK797 · 25 July 2015, 08:56 AM

Nice pics, I think I like the diagonal motif but maybe just too busy for me. Chocolate and classic Romans will do for me.

Totally agree Neil. The PM itself is stunning, the dials less so. Yours is perfect!

Marcela · 25 July 2015, 08:57 AM

Great pictures of beautiful pieces! Thank you for taking time and sharing them.

T01 · 25 July 2015, 09:01 AM

Awesome pics!

Eric Chan · 25 July 2015, 09:04 AM

Awesome pictures, my friend. Thanks for sharing. Love the Everose Gold model too. Can't wait for more dial combinations to be available at AD's. Really do want to see the chocolate roman dial. Hopefully it will resemble or be close to the DD II's version like the one Neil has.

100% agree! Neil's is the one that made me interested in everose gold! Thanks Eric and hope all is well.

Awesome my friend!! Great pics of great watches! But you already have the best of the best!!

Muzz · 25 July 2015, 10:45 AM

Awesome pictures!!!! Nothing quite like PM comparisons!!! A BLRO and Daytona would be my dream team. Pretty sure there is a reason why the pair dominates Tom's wrist!!!! They are incredible!

Kevin.S · 25 July 2015, 10:45 AM

GB-man · 25 July 2015, 10:53 AM

Heavy metal trio there. All quite nice but I favor the PT DD

kilyung · 25 July 2015, 10:54 AM

Haha, very true, I am completely in love with my BLRO! It was fantastic to finally put a Platona on my wrist though. Amazing piece and can see why are you so passionate about it!

Rolex PM is indeed so great. I never understood until I tried one on!

daytonaTBR · 25 July 2015, 12:08 PM
