In platinum:

I had it in titanium and loved it but I also tried the platinum and it was hard to resist... Which I did, because it was way above my means...

Good memories!

Yes, my friend. I love all of them, here, even if my personal taste would lead me to prefer white metal, and my wallet, titanium.
