Yeah I was taken aback by his gesture. I would be afraid to hand over a $45k+ watch to a stranger.

Can you imagine if it is...

I didn't have the gut to hand over my DJII. He probably didn't want to see it anyway....

A very imposing piece and the wrist presence is second to none.

If I went to a two Rolex collection (YM2 and Platona), it would be my knock around piece.
