First, apologies for no pictures.

I stopped by the Wynn a couple of days ago to checkout the platinum DD40 & the Platona. I was really expecting to fall for the DD40 with tapestry dial but in the end it simply didn't "sing". Next I tried the Platona. I was expecting the weight to be a deal breaker, but .......

The Platona is simply awesome. The watch is noticeably heavy; however, the weight distribution seems perfect and the watch seems very balanced, i.e. not top heavy. I can definitely see this watch as a future addition.

For those Platona owners out there, is this watch comfortable as a daily wearer in a decent rotation?

I wish I knew how to attach a thread. There is a Platona owners thread here that is really pic heavy. Don't go there unless you're ready spend some money!!!!!

I wear mine every day. Although heavy, it doesn't cause any excess fatigue on the wrist. I think it makes for a great daily wear piece.

Great shot Brian

So if you take the "D" off of Daytona and replace it with the "PL" in platinum to make Playtona does that make the Platinum Day Date a Play Date? Day Plate? Play Plate? Just asking.

Rolex perfection! It has become my most worn watch that can go anywhere.

Danny83 · 9 January 2016, 01:02 AM

Its a beauty

bkertzer89 · 9 January 2016, 01:04 AM

I think the price is justified when people ask you what kind of watch it is and you say platona and there confused

tkerrmd · 9 January 2016, 01:33 AM

Agree with other owners, pretty much my daily wearer. I have a 6.25 inch wrist and am 150 pounds and don't notice the weight

The watch is perfectly balanced and can go anywhere do anything, my favorite watch of all time!!!!

nyc2la · 9 January 2016, 01:37 AM

It is my daily wearer. It's easy to wear, despite the weight, however make sure you get it properly fitted. Once it's fitted correctly, it's pure awesomeness!

breitlings · 9 January 2016, 02:25 AM

Platinum is super easy on the skin...

el1125 · 9 January 2016, 03:01 AM

THE best modern Rolex. It's awesome. I have no desire for any other Rolex though!

Lordofrolex · 9 January 2016, 03:13 AM

I think the plantona is better than the DD40 PT. DD40 probably my favorite rolex right now but i don't see the need for the platinum version as i love the YD/RG version. So if I'm going to spend in the 45k range for a rolex i would choose the plantona easily.

It's an absolutely beautiful piece. It was an instant hit for me.

locutus49 · 9 January 2016, 03:35 AM

I wear mine every single day. Perfectly comfortable.

Chris B · 9 January 2016, 04:03 AM

Beautiful pics fellas

descartes · 9 January 2016, 08:57 AM

Weight is not a problem. In fact, its presence makes it almost a let down to wear anything else.

The same exact thing happen to me. From pictures I thought the platinum DD40 was my choice, I was just trying on to confirm it. Unfortunately, it didn't sing to me either. Even more surprising was how much I loved the platona. So much so I had to get it a few weeks later.
