Gold Vs. Platinum
sjspector
Not being an expert I have no idea if Platinum is more difficult to work with than Gold.

Platinum timepieces generally cost significantly more than their gold counterparts.
Will this phenomenon end now that the prices have come closer together?

But nothing can beat a Blue strap, Platinum case if the dial is light grey, silver, or white... Illustration: Not only JLC, but also PP plays the game, and makes this combo... Ulysse Nardin, too: Best, my f...

Perfect perspective Well said Stephen. For me the price of platinum never part of my consideration each time I bought one. Instead I've always just been attracted to the brilliance of the metal. This is evident especially when you put it side by side with a wg watch next to ...
