Fantastic Cary !! you captured the Glacier dial perfectly. It is not easy as a lot of times it looks silver in pics. Cheers -Ron

has anyone had to replace the bezel on platinum? there is no doubt its going to get scratched, just seems everywhere i read that this type of metal is much softer, and i guess i have to accept the at some point, there is going to be some 'beauty marks' - might be able to get buffed out, but there is such a wide exposure for nicks and damage on the front on the watch that surely its going to happen,

anyone have an idea of what a new bezel will cost. just saying, i will probably keep this watch a long time, so was just curious since most of you on this forum know quite alot more than me on watches.

While platinum is marginally softer than steel, it doesn't have the property of shedding metal when scratched or polished. So you should be able to get it polished to like new many times vs having to buy a new one.

Absolutely stunning watch. Live long and enjoy!

The proportions of this watch are just right, and the bracelet is wonderful!
Congratulation

I remember, I was browsing window display and trying to pick my first Rolex that I would like to own. That was before I have any Rolex product knowledge. I picked DDII glacier blue by design. Excited I am going in to ask about the price, walked out with a shock and leave empty handed with disappointment.

Congrats to you.
