Ok, has anyone bought a platinum Daytona more than three times?

One Rolex was recovered but that Platona, an 1803 Wide Boy and a diamond dialed OP are still on the Rolex theft list.

I haven’t sold mine yet but the reason it’s on the chopping block is because I don’t wear it enough to justify it in my own mind. That being said, I haven’t sold it yet and it may very well end up staying. IMHO, it is THE grail Rolex. I initially was going to get a PT DD40, but when I tried on the Platona, I just had to get it.

With having mine as one of a few Rolex watches it get worn a lot. I don't mind the bit of wear it get either. It's durable and polishable with minimum impact. Any reason in particular it's not getting worn?

TBH, if you're gonna get a Platona, you gotta get the diamond baguette markers or just don't do it.

When you show me yours you have a voice. IMHO, if I’m going to buy a Daytona I’ll do as I please.

Why does one need a Daytona to share their opinion on Daytonas?
