THIS is a heavy hitter (literally) - I’m really lookin forward to enjoying this.. platinum Rolex is something that I always wanted to achieve for a handful of years now ! Very happy with this one !

Also, AD tells me I may be able to get platinum baguette Daytona soon!! so now I’m even more pumped up .. loving the idea of having that thing along side this beauty —Rolex in platinum is just so special

Anyway - this is my first platinum watch! Any tips from seasoned owners? I noticed brand spanking new the bracelet feels like it has more play/stretch right out the box than the 18k President bracelets but I’m guessing that’s just due to the very heavy weight? I keep extremely good care and condition of my watches so I’ve heard platinum scratches extremely easily which shouldn’t even really be an issue for me - but any truth to that?

A couple quick pics !

There is no wrong purchase for a Platinum Rolex as they are all wonderful watches.

Enjoy

Congrats man. This exact watch with a fluted bezel is my bucket list piece and I'm going to try and procure one for my 50th.

I know the price of these vary, if I may ask what was the hang tag price on that bad boy?

64 and some Change MSRP

Second market was crazy back in pre march 2022 days..

Now a days 74-84 depending which dial



And yes I think I got one of the last ones made still with the domed bezel.. which I love but I also love fluted bezels and I’m sure Ill love it on plat day date as well.. I would’ve been equally interested if this one had a fluted!

Awesome. I am sooo disappointed they got rid of the smooth bezel and the stick dial. I wear a 36 and it weighs around the same as a Deepsea or a SeaDweller. I actually don’t find that it’s a scratch magnet but it does make you leave other watches in the drawer more. I love the under the radar Uber heft and the way the metal sits on your wrist. It really is different than anything else including gold. I also think it’s the perfect watch and even my PP’s are sitting in winders. I just keep,saying to myself…why do I need to wear anything else.
