So you think your Platona has heft?

This monster will crush your wrist! Now we all say we love heavy watches right? Or is this doing it wrong....

I've spent some amount of time trying to imagine... what a potential buyer would want to do with this watch. Dive? Go deepsea in a submarine? Hammer some nails? The possibilities are endless...

Perpetual motion watch with shielding for the Plutonium core? Too much watch for me.

Have you seen this Bathys Hawaii atomic watch? Who doesn't want their own miniature atomic clock?


Cesium though, not plutonium.

I can think of a lot of uses for that thing, none of them involve telling the time.

Still reckon I scratched my AP RO more than I would that.

It would also look smaller on my wrist than the Daytona is on my wife wrist......
