Sharing my new joy.

After speaking with a couple of super helpful forumers here, i decided to get for myself a 18206.

I was actually given a few more options of other DDs but finally decided on this watch as the sheer weight, how pure silver-looking Platinum is, the fact that 36mm Platinum DD has been discontinued, helped me make up my mind.

Enjoy the photos my friends. The watch is going to stay on my wrist for the next few weeks i hope.

Can the 118206 glacier diamond dial fit my model? Will like that as an option once my funds are a bit more free.

Nice, congrats. I'd leave the dial well alone. Get a manicure instead

Big, BIG congratulations!
I like the smooth bezels a lot - My onyx 18208 gets a disproportionate share of wrist time.

Thank you Clay. You have helped me decide on this as well. Yes, the smooth bezel is amazing and the silver diamond dial is growing on me!!! Most likely will skip the dial change.

An Onyx 18208 is also on my want list. And you know what else i am trying to pry from your hands. Hahaha.

Beautiful watch. I see no harm in changing out the dial. I am one myself who loves to swap stuff, but at any second can bring it back to its original state. It’s your watch, do what makes you happy. To whatever avenue you choose. Have fun.

Yes my friends, it's a beautiful watch. I am enjoying the watch more and more. The extra weight and comfort of the bracelet is amazing.

The dial also seems less boring now. Hahaha. As these diamonds are slightly bigger, and almost touch the edge of the setting, they seem to float on the dial when viewed at some angles. Almost like the setting disappeared...
