Well i did it

i struggled all night with what to do....finally, i knew that after this purchase my beloved smurf would just sit collecting dust...so i made the swap. thank Dr. Tom and NYC2la for the encouragement! And thanks David and his assistant, Dan for making the swap so easy.

More pics to come..im about to start peeling off stickers

This new box is HUGE

I miss the beautiful blue smurf....But I think I will be ok!

Funny, just a couple of hours ago I tried on some Rolex watches. Without a doubt, the Platona is the finest watch available from Rolex! Huge Congrats!

Huge congrats. This is by far the most attractive Rolex watch for me. However, I must admit, not having a date would discourage me from wearing it as much as I would like :).
