Platona can be bad for a collection
Because it's so darn great! Others in the collection are collecting dust!

Also, it is very comfortable, especially considering the weight. It is a beast of a watch.

Have only had the pleasure of trying one on, never of owning but I can imagine getting used to that weight on the wrist and making every steel piece in my collection (or even my gold pieces for that matter) feel like flimsy junk in comparison.
