Platinum Question
Hi,
Just wanted to ask a question to the experts on this forum, particularly those that have the platinum Lange watches.
How resistant is the material to dings and scratches? I've never owned a platinum anything before but I know that the hardness of the material varies depending on its alloy. What is the alloy used for a Lange plat watch and is it hardier that the gold ones?
Thanks in advance for any advice out there and Happy New Year!
