50k on a watch - how do you spend it?

Agreed. The Platona brought me little joy tbh, I owned for less than half a year and flipped it.

The 116719 BLRO is in my opinion the coolest modern Rolex, heritage, style, innovation (first red cerachrome bi colour bezel), WG, oyster bracelet, just a beautiful reiteration of a classic.

With the Platona, the initial wow factor wears out quick, the ice blue dial burns too brightly and gets a little boring after a while. The Brown bezel is cool but again, doesnt have much staying power for me.
