Wow, four years! Still looks great from a distance.

Hairdude1 · 27 August 2016, 02:38 PM

Looking good!

BNA/LION · 27 August 2016, 02:48 PM

Looks Fantastic! A lot of daily driving and use, still beautiful!

Cheers to the next four!

kilyung · 27 August 2016, 02:56 PM

Looking good, Tom. No loss of material.

travisb · 27 August 2016, 09:31 PM

Giving it the work it deserves!

brandrea · 27 August 2016, 09:35 PM

Fantastic Tom, I love the passion you have for this reference!

Muzz · 27 August 2016, 09:37 PM

Looks absolutely sensational!!! Lots of amazing memories clocked with that Platona!! Wonderful!!

Jakx · 28 August 2016, 02:43 AM

This is why Pt is the most amazing PM around. I wouldn't touch a thing!

ntrryon · 28 August 2016, 03:18 AM

It's been four years already? Damn!

masyv6 · 28 August 2016, 03:32 AM

Looks great after 4 years, Tom!

tkerrmd · 28 August 2016, 08:31 AM

Thanks guys...so far so good, will update in another four years!

Dusko.Popov · 28 August 2016, 08:33 AM

Still a beautiful watch. Have a chance to pick one up used but I'm hedging. These pictures don't help. Think I'm still in the grip of the 116500 so maybe I should let that wear off first and reappraise the situation then.

I think it seems the same to me

Even I am not that crazy!!

Honestly from any distance at all they all look great and no one but you guys notice the scratches!!

I learned that lesson when I was a kid. My uncle had this stunning YG DD, couldn't take my eyes off it. He caught me staring and asked me if I'd like to try it on. I got all excited. But when it was on my wrist and I examined it closely I noticed all the scratches and swirls and was kinda let down. But then once it was back on my uncle's wrist like magic it simply looked gorgeous once again.

Ronin78 · 28 August 2016, 10:07 AM

Its a beautiful piece. Platinum is very hard compared to other precious metals. It looks great being well worn.

It gives it character. It's beautiful to see someone racing Porsches as that is what they were meant for. What series or events do you participate in??

DeeTee · 28 August 2016, 01:22 PM

You live once, enjoy it..... And let the next generation enjoy it!

Going to have it serviced next year? If so, will you have it polished?

Ragna · 29 August 2016, 08:58 AM

if it wasnt for the PCL you could never tell.

Sublovin · 29 August 2016, 09:47 AM

I have said it numerous times...these things were meant to be worn and cars are meant to be driven. Looking good! Keep enjoying

locutus49 · 29 August 2016, 09:51 AM

Mine looks the same after one year. I wear it every day.

Keep up your excellent posts, Dr. Tom.

At least it's getting used for its original purpose: To bring you joy.
