Come home to Papa, oh NOBLE steed!!!

After two weeks of Subby hogging my wrist, the nobility and grandeur of solid Platinum is back on my wrist!!! Feels suddenly very Knightly and pure!!

Let's really go nuts and have a chocolate banana platty on some vanilla ice cream!

You know what's funny JJ? There must be some karma out there. For some reason, when I woke up this morning, I thought of you, and was going to PM you as to whether you were going to be wearing again Platty soon!

Nice pics JJ. I understand that the dial is platinum, but what's on the surface of it? Is it some sort of glittered paint? thanks, Jonathan

The entire DIAL is solid 950 grade Platinum. The surface is blasted with Platinum particles.
