i want to add a platinum watch to my collection.

I also want to add a Daytona to my collection.

Does it make sense to get a platona?

The ice blue dial does sing to me. The brown bezel does not sing to me as much.

Have not seen one in the metal though.

 

Gorgeous but is it a $35-45k watch pre owned?

I've worn it twice and it's sublime in the ice blue with brown ceramic dial.

My only issue was the bracelet links felt sharp...

 

Thanks.
Not sure about pre owned price. I can get it new in our local AD for about USD50K.

Sharp - meaning, can potentially cut your skin?

 

Look @ one in the metal.....blew me away....but did not seal the deal. Then one of my buddies that's also a seller had one on with a similar wrist size, gave it to me for a spin.....I was hooked. The balance and heft with that beautiful dial+brown bezel insert/subdials is just killer. There's a reason why it's the ultimate modern piece. It's my next in line on the modern side. I think it's completely worth it, just buy right and you'll be fine with value retention.

P.S. Laying it on top of your wrist unsized versus actually having the thing on sized is a different world. It really is a hefty yet good feeling watch.

 

hmmm some might say zenith steel daytona and save the platinum for a different piece

 

+1 on Zenith steel and I'd get a dress watch in platinum on a strap due to case softness. Less likely to be worn in places that may rough up the case and no strap to get overly desk-doven.

 

I was on the zenith hype train for maybe a week...then the more I looked the more the 116520/116500 I own sings to me. So back to hunting my grail four digit Daytona instead. There's something about that platona though...so so good. The day date platinum is great but I went with the white gold/olive dial option instead there...the green dial won out there for me.

 

I went with the white gold daytona to satisfy my daytona craving and with a Grand Lange to satisfy my platinum craving. But it’s on leather.

And something about having a platinum bracelet sings to me still. So i dunno if i should still chase a platona. Or maybe the platinum speedmaster announced in basel.

 

Amazing watch especially baguette dial! Myself already fell in trap. You won’t regret it.
