PT and 18K WG case question
Hi,
I guess this is my first question on L&S forum.
I was wondering how the color/sheen of the two metals is different for L&S watches.
I own a PT Dato, but I haven't had a chance to look at a WG watch from L&S to compare.
I look at a recent posting of the 1815 chrono in WG, and from the pics, I really can't tell the difference.
Do they look different? Is the WG coated with rhodium or such metal to give off a whiter, more similar sheen to the plat?
Many thanks in advance!

There are differences...
If you put them side by side, the WG is a little bit "greyer" than the PT, which is "whiter". Also over time, the PT will develop this patina, which is different to how WG develop scratches/swirls. In my opinion, PT looks nearly identical to stainless ste...
I agree with your point of view.
And of course, a PT is heavier than a WG one. Fr.Xavier
