because it subdues the tachymeter scale, which I rarely if ever use - not so the chrono!

Magic Piece

Have not got a modern Rolex in ages but there is magic in this one when you handle it....  

Yes, you have an immediate feeling when you put it on the wrist.

A bit like when you close the door of a luxury car... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Good analogy!

Also, the luster of the platinum, and the color of the dial and bezel (in person) make it irresistible. Honestly, I don't think there is another piece quite like it.

There is another one in noble metal which is quite appealing...

The White Gold Meteorite Dial... Colder, but very exciting and tempting. Now, in gold, it has some serious weight. I can't imagine how heavy it must be in platinum! Best, Nicolas

The weight is almost hard to believe.

But it is very appealing.

In Rolex no

But I think about another platinum piece where you are a similar feeling

Well. I stand corrected

Indeed, As cool as the Platona is, I would trade it for a 5711P if someone were willing.

For your pleasure

And not for a fight compare because both Daytona and nautilus are marvelous ...  

I think there is ;-)

...  

For me the Daytona is the one because it's so unique as a platinum piece.

Plus I prefer sport watches.

Definitely a serious piece...

 
 By: masterspiece : December 21st, 2015-17:05
and definitely has the weight to match. When wearing that platinum piece you can definitely tell you've got something on your wrist. Although pretty heavy, I don't mind the heftiness but the price? That too, is hefty! Aloha, Bob

I had the exact same feeling

this watch is really charming and the weight is strongly contributing. Lovely! ...  

I second that

 
 By: DrStrong : December 21st, 2015-22:32
as we say here, it has the same weight "as a dead monkey" !!! ...  

;-)

Congrats!

sometimes I forget which watch I have on ( under sleeve) .... but not with the Platona.

So, after several weeks on the wrist, I have to say

I am loving this one. It's been a very long time since I got a watch that is not vintage, but somehow this seems to have an almost vintage look or quality to it because of the warm brown bezel and sub dials. In a sense, at a quick glance, the Daytona layo... 

I appreciate the "warm brown bezel"
