Impressions of my new Platinum Daytona.
So after having my platinum Daytona for a couple of weeks, wanted to give my impressions.

Weight: definitely heavy but once placed on my wrist I really don’t notice the heft. Maybe it due to sitting lower on my wrist but I definitely can feel the weight of my WG sub more.

Dial: the ice dial is stunning in the sunlight, love the solid color compared to the chestnut sub dials. It is unique to the Rolex lineup of dials

Baguettes: not very blingy to me but meshes well with the dial.

Color of Platinum: Platinum is definitely brighter than SS and WG. It stands out more than the other metals.

Bezel: love the chestnut color and melds well with the ice dial.

This watch is definitely my favorite of my collection.

Amazing watch.

Everything about it is stunning. Always loved the Platinum with the chestnut sub dials but the full ice blue with diamond markers is next level in my opinion.

Hopefully mine arrives this year fingers crossed.
