When you amortize it across your lifetime it comes out pretty cheap.

Still you'll need to drop €60k, I don't have that.

From the platinum pieces I've tried on I'd say the platona is by far my favourite. DD40 with ice blue motif dial is a close second.

Ice blue makes me physically ill. I would rather have electric shock therapy than hold an ice blue dial. I'd have to go with black or Tahitian MOP.

I get a nauseas feeling and my heart rate changes when I see ice blue. It's the only color I hate on a physiological level. I can't even look at it in the show case.

Tahitian MOP is amazing in person.
