Platty's out of hibernation after 3 weeks and goes ballistic!!

That's right, guys.......for 3 long weeks Platty lay inside the confines of my safe while Subby held the spot-light.

Now Platty's back on my wrist and went ballistic today. Kept begging me to take as many pics of him as possible.....so here ya go!!

Great shots as usual. You know, just when I think I have the next one all picked out, you show these great platty pics. My subby wants a platty to play too.

Just think of the trauma inside the household if you had three Rolex JJ......

BTW what would a 3rd be if you had to own another?

The watch is really nice as a Platty, but those platty hairs surrounding it just steal the watches thunder away.

IS this a ceramic bezel or metal (the insert)
