Dorian mon ami!

 

Platinum is my most favourite metal, and blue, especially Bleu Nuit en Francais , is my MOST favourite colour, so yes i have to agree double time with what you said!

But seriously, Platinum is indeed the king of metals(with all the evidence i have given), and the metal of kings, (King Louis the 14th himself said that) , and Platinum DOES indeed looks best with a blue leather strap, call me biased or what, but you have to agree once you have paired or seen a platinum timepiece with a blue leather strap!

Virtually all japanese collectors agreed with me that PT just looks oh so very sexy with blue, so elegant, so refined, so pure and just like a GOD planned match!

Cheers!

Stephen

P.S. With your JLC squelleton with Blue original JLC STRAP, and my Squelleton with order made cayman strap with platinum stitching, i cant imagine the moment mon ami!

Gold Vs. Platinum

Not being an expert I have no idea if Platinum is more difficult to work with than Gold. But over the last few weeks i have seen Platinum prices drop like a brick, and at this moment an ounce of platinum barely costs more than an ounce of gold. Platinum t... 

It is indeed unfortunate to see that Platinum is falling....

In terms of its price on the commodity exchange! But this DOES NOT changes the chemical and physical properties of platinum.?Now I started out in the haute horlogerie scene by making a goal to have the majority of my collection in Platinum, if not all. ( ... 

Wow, Stephen, great answer,

And very informative too! Yes, I'm a Platinum Lover, too. I love its density, its feeling on the wrist, and don't care about the price, except when I have to buy it! LOL Funny, I was thinking this afternoon about the symbol of platinum and why it was asso...

Yep, Stephen, Blue and Platinum are a gorgeous combo, if

The dial is ok... I mean, the color of the dial. 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...  

Very interesting....

Very interesting and informative post Stephen. Now I have a better appreciation of platinum.

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 ... 

I don't quite get it

 
By: albcwc : October 19th, 2008-09:39
As to your point about platinum scratches "displacing" metal (as opposed to what? removing it?), I don't get it. There is no fundamental difference on this score between platinum, on the one hand, and gold, on the other. Platinum is surely harder than mos... 

What a blessing

Platinum is clearly my metal of choice and I could not have said it better than Stephen... Amazing post - Thanks!
