Question for Platinum Owners

My local AD has invited me to preview the new WG BLRO Pepsi as they are expecting one relatively soon. I'm wondering how many current platinum owners are considering this watch? I love it in photos, so I'm hoping it wears as nicely. Please let me know!

Wow that was quick. Make sure to take plenty of pictures for us. I'm not a platinum watch owner but the BLRO is on my list. It'll just take awhile to save up. Enjoy your visit with your AD!

I'm not a platinum owner, but I am trying to scrounge up some more pennies to buy this.

I'll likely get one eventually...after they are sitting at ADs for a bit and no one is clammoring for the newest and greatest...figure it will take just under a year...just like the platona.

When discounts are aplenty...

I saw a Platona in the flesh finally, it instantly became my unattainable grail once on my wrist. It was beauty pure, a stout solid watch, it felt and looked stunning, incredible, it was 100% decadence. If you own this watch, you are very fortunate and may you enjoy it for many years in health.
I predict the BLRO will be way more beautiful in the flesh than in pictures and if you are able to buy it, you'll be very pleased and have a real unique gem.

Awesome, great to hear, thanks for the feedback! I figured Ken and Tom were on the short list, but glad to see others considering it also. Will definitely share my thoughts with the group once I actually get to wear it. Likewise, if anyone else here gets a preview, please let us know what you think!
