Stopped by the AD today..PT DDII Pics

I never liked any of the DDII's or DJII's on my wrist. They all seems to big. Unfortunately I like this one..LOL

Its all dial, and its a really nice dial.

I was wearing a similar blue polo so it reflects in the polished bits for a nice effect. Thought I would share the pics.

Anyway, maybe in a year or two I'll "upgrade"

So beautiful, to the untrained eye it can pass as a SS watch...

I wouldn't mind having this one as my daily wear

I am sure they would drop the price 5% to close the deal today, to $57k!!

Yeah, our local AD showed this very watch to me one day. I was amazed at how HEAVY it is. Outweighed the Deep Sea by a long shot! Very impressive watch!! A person could buy themself a very nice car for what this thing retails for (60K+).

Nice, although my grail is the PT DD (36mm) with glacier blue dial. Just when I thought I could stop thinking about it, I'm THINKING about it again. NUTZ!

Almost exactly 6.5" that's why I was surprised I liked it.

Good thing I'm not into cars. My brother in law thinks its crazy that almost all my watches are worth more than my truck. I like my 2001 F150 just fine. Just got it detailed and waxed.
