I love my Platona without the stones. I think that this one is one of the most beautiful Rolex made. The stones aren't overbearing and add a lot to the design. Also the legibility is improved as the sub dials are easier to read. It's an absolutely perfect watch. Congratulations.

Looks great, there's nothing like the feel of platinum.

This configuration is so nice. I’ve often thought about which of the two dials I would want, but this is the one. Nothing like platinum, once you experience it, you get it.

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.
I never succeeded to make my eyes stay focused on a chrono dial for more than 2 seconds no matter what, the only exception is this very specific reference. Music to my eyes and one of the most exquisite watch a man can own.

I have the exact same watch and have owned it for 6 years now.I had to sell most of my collection and put every spare penny i had at the time to it to be able to afford it-no regrets and I still love it as much as the day i bought it.

Only watch where I would want the baguettes, especially in lieu of he brown sub dials on the non-diamond variant. Stunner. Congrats.
