Platinum for me
I think I would prefer the platinum if I'm ever privileged to own one. My wife things the same and her comment for what its worth is that for my age (early thirties) she thinks that the platinum would look a bit more youthful than the golden look. Hope th...
Platinum of course, the original thing.
By the way, you should have put your two questions in the same topic, it would have been better IMHO. Fx
Rose is much richer of course. However...

Now I more for RG ...
I normally like white metal for its low key but I think the RG/black dial is a perfect match for the dato. WS
I like the platinum!
The combo of rose gold and black dail does not match, They look weird together. Maybe if the dail was white. best SamEE
