INCOMING Platona 116506
Better late then never , i have been hit with some health issues but fully recovered so it was in the safe i had it before the newer version came out.

For me i hated the watch when i saw it on the pictures of baselworld.

But in real life it amazed me , and IMO this is for me the nr 1 watch in the world.

The weight , material colour ,chemistry , anniversary.

I don't particularly like Daytonas--but I love that Daytona!
Congrats on health recovery!

I hope it's a 116506 and not a 116509 or there would be a big problem!

I almost didn’t check the thread thinking it would be a WG modified Frankenwatch with an “I prefer WG, I’m not trying to fool anyone” story.

Much better! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
