The DDII felt too big on my 6.3-inch wrist too, but you're absolutely right about the Pt DDII: it simply has something that is irresistible. Maybe it's the platinum? Or the exclusivity? Or the enermous price tag? Or it's just simply beautiful?

Otto and I had one on at an AD in Tokyo last week. Just the grail of grails in my opinion.

Man I would love that watch but it would like kind of funny on my wrist whilst lounging in my double wide. Some things just dont go together.

I still can't warm up to the size of the dd2, but that dial is gorgeous!

I'll have to wait to see that one first hand, but I think the smooth bezel is an improvement over the fluted ones.

The jury's still out though.

I'm sure it's a stunning watch, regardless of my subjectivity.

The dial is certainly distinctive. I'd probably prefer it without the concentric circles.

Platinum only comes with smooth bezel. Fluted bezel is WG.
