Incoming Day Date II

Just did a deal with JustRolexes/Tony and picked up this slightly used Day Date II in Platinum with the Glacier Concentric Dial. I have never owned a Platinum watch before and I must say I am impressed with the feel of the watch and the weight. I have a YG Day Date II and now the Platinum, so we will see how it goes with wear. Thought of waiting for the DD 40 but I am a DD II lover for a lot of the reasons other don't like it. Size, wrist presence, etc. My pictures are not very good, I will get some more as I go forward.

Lovely piece... The roman numerals look much better on the DD II compared to the DD 40!

Many congrats, William! Love the DDII as well and love the larger presence on my wrist as it matches well with my Subc and GMTc, all 3 feel very similar which I like as no time needed to get used to a different size watch.
