They are both gorgeous, but a sports watch will always beat a dress watch for me...

DD40 isn't really a dress watch... IMO

Gerardus · 17 July 2015, 04:34 PM

To me it is, since I can't figure out what sport it was made for....

Bangel · 17 July 2015, 05:04 PM

I prefer the DD40 because it shows the day and the date!

Flying airplanes. They were made for PanAm pilots originally.

I must admit, I didn't expect the DD 40 to beat the Platinum Daytona. Especially here. Shocker

G8RDPM · 18 July 2015, 01:52 PM

To the OP.there is no wrong choice,but you need to see both on your wrist.
To my 50 year old eyes,one looked better than the other(completely different on the big computer screen). I originally wanted a Daytona,but walked out with a GMT.YMMV!

Hope to have to make a similar decision soon!

kepr: Have you ever seen a Platona in the wild (the non-diamond version)?

Yes, I have seen two Platonas in the wild, one at the barber shop the other at a tire shop. one week apart.

I also have seen 528, 520 quite often, but never a 509

DD40: Legible. Date. Day. Nuff said.

osamu · 7 June 2016, 05:42 AM

Having not see either in person, I don't want to vote, but this is a tough one. Strangely before the SS ceramic Daytona, I would've said the platona 10/10 times, but with the ceramic bezel on SS models, it actually lessens my interest in the platona slightly. I know I might be crazy, since it's still platinum, but that's how I feel. For instance I'd probably take a SS Daytona and a RG DD over the platona now, and I don't think I would've said that previously. I still lean towards the Platona just given the choice between these two.

AboutTime · 7 June 2016, 06:20 AM

DD40 !!! Never understood the choice of the brown color for the bezel and subdials of the Platona.

sensui · 7 June 2016, 06:31 AM

Gotta be the 116506 for me. The DD isn't versatile enough as a casual daily IMO.
