Icon12 Wasted a lot of the AD's time tonight!!!!!

And boy was it fun!! Even had a coke!!

The new DD 40 is just stunning!! The pics really don't do it justice!





Haven't seen this "four quadrant dial" before










Then a little more fun, with a lot of Platinum...compared to the Platona, the DD felt clearly lighter, and appeared smaller...



Ok great platinum inventory!! Some diamonds ....




Some white gold....

My AD always offers me water. I guess I should ask for a coke next time. I want a diet coke in the new metal cans.

Actually I want Coke Light, the kind you get in Italy.

Yea yea watches look cool, but did they serve the diet coke in a can or a glass? That's what really matters.

I also don't think you were wasting the ADs time, you know your going to pick one up soon :)

Thanks, and I really agree. Has really slowed me down. I really want to like and buy the DD, but seems so fancy and dressy to me, just really more dress than sport I think. However I want another platinum piece so still working on the diamond dial Platona for the wife

Awesome Tom!! I cannot imagine you wearing a DD though. Sport pieces are definitely your style. Maybe next year something will come out that is exactly what you need. Just my thoughts anyways:)

The new Romans look very cool and kinda more modern to me, very fitting for the new flagship!

Tom that was a spectacular visit. You are in Florida, right? So are DD 40s in the stores on the East Coast only (and I've seen posts from Vancouver, B.C.)? Has anyone seen them in California? (And I'm not referring to the samples without movements)

Fantastic shots, my friend. Thank you for sharing. The DD 40 would round out your kingly collection nicely. Do I sense an incoming in the near future?

So about this Coke - did they water it down with ice or did you get it properly chilled. And the watch is lovely.

Beautiful pictures Tom. I don't see you in a dress watch but I'm accustomed to you in platinum. I'm gonna go with 50/50 on future incoming!
